i love Love Actually!!!!

Boy do i love that show...

Haha i'm in camp and just finished watching it... and it never fails to entertain me.... the first few times i watched it, it really hit the spot...

You know, I'm not the kinda guy who likes watching movies once i've already watched them, but Love Actually is one of the few exceptions! I really really have a soft spot for Romance movies, so long as they're not to over-lovey and keep it real! Haha ok maybe some of them like the guy learning Portugese and the Brit who scores in America or the kid who chiongs thru the airport are a bit exxagerated... haha but who cares? it's really fun...

The kid and his concert and the Mariah Carey song, oh, that's one of my fav stories cos it's all so adorable, and how his Stepdad is so supportive of what most adults would view as childish crush... his determination to learn drums, is all so naive, so idealistic, so juvenile... let's not forget the one-liner "Well, we need Kate and we need Leo, and we need them now!"

And the rockstar is dam cool. "That the person I actually.... er... love... is.... you..." Or, the classic one-liner which he so elegantly uses to brush of the wierdness of male affection: "Now let's go get pissed and watch porn!"

But the best story of all, i think, is the one where the guy confesses to Keira Knightly. "To me, you are perfect."

Or, in the full version, which this hopeless romantic remembers, is :
''But I have to say, Without hope or agenda, Just because it's Chrismas-, (And on Christmas, you tell the Truth), To me, you are perfect. And my wasted heart will love you, Until you look like this." And he shows a placard of a shrivelled old woman... it's just so utterly sweet but sad...

And the Prime Minister is cool! If only our Prime Minister could dance like that...

I also really like the sad stories: the one where Professor Snape has an affair, and how his "cold English wife" deals with it. And the one about the girl with the schizo brother, cos it really shows the other, less glamourous, less romantic, albeit an equally beautiful, side of love.

Yes so, i cannot resist blogging about how much i love this show always gets to me. Ah, i'm a desperate hopeless romantic who imagines that one day, i can sweep a girl off her feet, the love of my life. one day...

and Christmas always makes you feel romantic. and i haven't quite got out of this festive mood yet...

oh well, cheers guys, and a happy new year ahead!
