No, certainly not just cute. But tonight the cute affected me more than the other good bits. Just because of my mood. The little boy made me want an eleven-year-old for Christmas. (Dear God that came out much much dirtier and grosser than I meant it to be. Purely parental desires here, promise.)
Flames wouldn't be eternal if they actually consumed anything.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
Yeah, 11's a little old for it not to sound dirty.

Love Actually
I love love love Love Actually, too.
My only problem with it is the fact that I was taking a class on gender in film at the time it came out, and it is nearly impossible for me to look at it without analyzing the fact that the girls are all maids, don't get the guy, or are fat. Or some combination of that. Or they are some sort of not-even-attempting-to-be-believable fantasy. Basically.
But Olivia Olson has the most amazing voice, and she's totally gorgeous, and she was all of ten when that was filmed. I fully expect to see a lot more of her at some point during the next ten years.

"You see? THAT's what they want. Love, and a bit with a dog."
I love Love, Actually too. One of my favorite bits is the story with the porn stand-ins. So cute! I have the dvd, but haven't watched the extras yet. I've heard there's a ton of other scenes.

Thrive to spite them
I finally saw Bourne Supremecy. The camera work killed it for me, the chase scenes (car and foot) hurt my eyes so I couldn't watch them. Or the fight scene. I should have gone to Hero.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love
I adored Love Actually. Maybe I need to see it again to clear my mind after the travesty of Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason.

Loathed and hated Love Actually with a fiery vengeance. Curtis tries to be self-referential but merely manages self-parody. The man needs some fresh ideas, fast.
The only redeeming features were Bill Nighy and Emma Thompson (and I say this as someone who usually loves Hugh Grant and Colin Firth). Actually, most of the actors tried really, really hard but were doomed to fail miserably against the cliches of the script.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
I hated certain subplots of Love Actually with a passion, but loved the Emma, Colin, Liam, and Martin Freeman (the stunt doubles) ones a lot.
