Hate would be too strong, but I disliked this movie, maybe I just don't love British accents or formuleic scripts, but why ask a former film student? It's hard for us to just relax and see the fun in commercial films (as in, made to make the big bucks)unless they are very clever. Imagine yourself watching a Broadway musical and you, as a theater person, will understand. I did however, love the raunchy comeback dude...and Bush-trashing & Alan Richtman is probably worth the price of the DVD. <br />Yours in Grinchdom. Valsav.<br />as for controversial, I know some people (not me ) had trouble with Liam Neeson and son's interactions as being sexually inappropriate, at least I remember hearing that at the time.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18659479.post-30122911706852685492006-12-04T03:30:00.000-05:002006-12-04T03:30:00.000-05:00It is tough deciding when to buy a movie.

There are only three things I watch over and over again - my Steelers Championship DVD, Chappelle's Show, and Eternal Sunshine. But I think I may need to add 40 Year Old Virgin to the list.<br /><br />Love Actually was...actually...a nice movie. A chick flick that had appeal for guys, too.The Roverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14466612618338867286noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18659479.post-57048137109162377292006-12-02T14:59:00.000-05:002006-12-02T14:59:00.000-05:00Honey, you can have my copy.

It's a great movie...feel good, but not too simplistic. Why, oh why, do you not like it?L.

I just bought the newly restored 1935 version of "A Christmas Carol" with Sir Setmour Hicks. It's pre-Alaistair Sim and Reginald Owen, so it's interesting. I also should be receiving the 60th anniversary edition of the Alaistair Sim version any day now. (Yes, I'm a bit of a collector of "A Christmas Carol". Chalk it up to being in a musical version of it in 7th grade.) :)<br /><br />I haven't seen "Love Actually" in a while but why would it be controversial? Maybe I need to rent it again.Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02970227219986066861noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18659479.post-61367801536775087602006-12-02T10:04:00.000-05:002006-12-02T10:04:00.000-05:00This movie is contraversal.

However some people <b>hate</b> this movie and I am kind of shocked by it.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08758219111373274017noreply@blogger.com
