I thought Emma Thompson crying to Joni Mitchell was amazing acting.
Lorne: Snakes? Uh-huh. And they came out of your what? Okay. Okay, well, did they get up there themselves or is this part of a, you know, a thing? No, I'm not judging...Do we fight snakes? Angel: Only if they're giant. Or demons. Or giant demons. Are they giant demon snakes? Lorne: Well, unless this guy's 30 feet tall, I'm thinking they're of the garden variety.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

It was. I liked all of the stories except for Colin the idiot who went to America. I'm fully convinced that Richard Curtis was once cruelly dumped by an American girl because he tends to portray them pretty badly, with the exception of Laura Linney's character, who was just unbelievably tragic.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Colin? But he's GOT A BIG KNOB!!

Colin is so universally awkward that he's barely discernable from American boys who do the same thing. My brother once went to Amsterdam to get high and laid. Not neccessarily in that order.

Colin's story is annoying and definitely my least favorite of the movie, but I find the movie overall just so charming. It makes me happy. And once in a while, that is absolutely sufficient criteria for my liking a movie.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
The storyline with Chiwetel Ejiofor is the one that sent my eyes crossing and hard.

(I know I mention it a lot, but I really am having a hard time dealing. It's...not what I expected. Sorry for the whole "death likes carrots" thing.)
No need to be sorry, love. I wish that I could do something to make you feel better. Um . . . boobies?

It is annoying, but it fits within the spectrum of stories that Curtis was trying to tell. I'm just sad that the story of the school principal was cut for length.

I like U2's Baby, Please Come Home as Christmas music, and some of Trans-Siberian Orchestra's really bombastic stuff. I will claim my love of the '80s power ballad to my grave.
