Love Actually on USA now

[imjustagirl]

Only about 15 minutes in. This part always makes me cry just a bit.

 

[Flash]

I start bawling from Hugh Grant's opening lines ... that stuff about the airport hits home. I've never been greeted at an airport by a loved one and I really want to know what that feels like.

 

[Diabeetus]

I was very hesitant to watch this movie for the first time, but I loved it when I finally did watch it.

 

[imjustagirl]

You know, I thought this movie wouldn't be hard to edit for TV. Yet, it's chopped all to hell.

IJAG, If they've chopped it to shreds, just turn it off and put in your DVD copy. Voila, no editing.

 

[imjustagirl]

That would involve getting off my ass. And well, that's not happening. Not unless it's to get a beer.

Side note: Have I mentioned how much I adore Colin Firth?

Next beer, just make a round trip and pick up the DVD on the way back around. You save gas that way

Best. Movie. Involving. A. Lot. Of. Romance. Ever.

I start bawling from Hugh Grant's opening lines ... that stuff about the airport hits home. I've never been greeted at an airport by a loved one and I really want to know what that feels like.

I've been obsessed with scenes at airports since I was little. I'll even arrive early for my own flights just to watch people come and go. International flights are the best at capturing the love and sadness all around.
I fell for this movie during the opening scene, when Hugh says, “When the planes hit the Twin Towers, as far as I know, none of the phone calls from the people on board were messages of hate or revenge – they were all messages of love."
It's one of my all-time favorite movies.
Oh, and the guy who plays Laura Linney's love interest -- why can't all graphic designers look like him? My gawd.

Carl doesn't do it for me.

But the guy who loves Keira Knightley? With the hand-written signs?

Him I would do terrible things to.

I would take Keira Knightley out to a nice seafood dinner, and I would definitely call her again.

 

[gingerbread]

I melt when he brings the boom box to Keira's apartment, gets her to slyly come to the door, shows her pictures of girls he'll eventually date and walks away saying to himself, "enough."
It's so gut-wrenching, watching him will himself over her.

 

[imjustagirl]

THAT moment right there, when she's watching the video and it clicks to her how he feels?

I want to die FOR him.

 

[gingerbread]

I know Keira's playing a pretty girl -- not a stretch, though she does it well -- but the look in her eyes when she realizes her husband's best mate loves her is just brilliant. Brilliant acting with just her eyes.

 

[dargan]

Face it. That guy with a boom box is a beast.

 

[imjustagirl]

I said it then, I'll say it now. I don't know that I've ever seen one woman look as beautiful, start to finish, as Keira Knightley does in this movie.

If it were just this movie alone, she would be No. 2 on my list of women.

 

[Norman Stansfield]

This movie sucks.

 

[imjustagirl]

This movie sucks.

YOU'VE NEVER SEEN IT!
