Can I take back what I admitted too please?

 

[spanglechick]

Um. That's a bit bollocks because I don't like Julia Roberts. However. I DID like Love Actually very much. Daft thing is, even though I live in London, I believe the shit about how beautiful and villagey and lovely and idyllic London is in these films. They make me imagine I live in a romantic snowy fairyland.

Did you like Notting Hill?
That once caught me at a vulnerable moment I hated myself for it

and once more - for the record...

Me too. I saw it on the telly while living in the States and I'd lived near Portobello Rd for the eight years previously. I got really homesick when I saw the film.

The hate Richard Curtis gets is a bit over the top IMO. Sure the films are cheesy, but they are well acted, reasonably well written and perfectly watchable. Most people seem to hate them because they are about well off upper middle class people. Woody Allen doesn't seem to have the same problem because Americans are not as hung up about class. The only Curtis romcom I really can't stand is Love Actually.

Of course. I don't think anybody noticed. It can be our little secret.

Embarrassingly, I have a soft spot for Love Actually as well. I want to hate Hugh Grant but, sadly, I enjoy his films... tragic

The Appartment is very good with Jack Lemmon and Shirley Maclain. Isn't Breakfast at Tiffany's mildly amusing as well.

There are two spelling mistakes and one grammatical mistake in that post. You have also failed to capitalise one word.

It's a rhetorical question. How do you spell Shirley's surname, then?

Rhetorical questions still require a question mark.

@ChrisFilter - I feel the same way about Hugh Grant and Hugh Grant films. Now I find myself wanting to watch Love Actually tonight!
