tarotgalGuhhhhh... I watched Love Actually today. Bought it at Best Buy. Couldn't find The Road to El Dorado. Bloody HELL I couldn't find it! Must have been 3 rows of family movies in Best Buy and it wasn't anywhere. Went to 3 different stores after that. Felt like an idiot heading straight for the children's/family section and still didn't find it. Apparently my skills/luck during a quest suckith much. And I refrained from buying the DVD of White Squall for $6. I'm not sure I should have. I fucking love that movie. But I have it on VHS already and the DVD had no added features... so I don't know. I'm so conflicted. I almost bought the first disk and Gravitation box for $22.30. That's a good price, isn't it? Well, compared to the first 3 stores I went to it was. LOL. I refrained from buying the Wolf's Rain box set, too. Even though I'm dying for a cute little Kiba plushie. *dies*
Anyway, I bought Love Actually. DAMN good movie. Even watched out of season. I laughed at least 6 times in the first 10 minutes and by minute 11 I was crying. Pretty much the same throughout. LOTS of laughing and crying and dancing along with Hugh in my bedroom. Ghods I feel manic-depressive when I watch these sorts of things! LOL! But what a fantastic movie! Definitely my second favorite Christmas movie now. I can't wait until Christmas so I can watch it again in the proper spirit of things. Though, come to think of it, I had such an emotional time watching it out of season, it'd probably KILL me to watch it during Christmas.
But Liam. GODS Liam was amazing! It was worth $16 just to see Liam in a sexy scarf, I'm telling you!!! But Hugh... and Alan... and Colin- oohhhh a wet writer Colin! *dies of pure bliss* The women were great in it, too, of course. Emma was fantastic. And the little kid who played Liam's son- ohmygodswashecute!!! Usually I have a tough time with kids in movies, and I wasn't what to make of him at the very first bit. Buthe and Liam were SO adorable together! Squeeee! But Liam was the best. Okay, so I currently have a thing for men with kids. It's my hormones. But, still, DAMN but he was wonderful! I just wanted to hug him the whole time. Even when I was in hysterics.
Good movie. Did I mention wet Colin? And Liam with a scarf? I loved. LOL How superficial am I? But, honestly, you know I dig character movies. And this was all character. And TONS of them. EXACTLY what I like in a movie. And so touching. And and and I just loved it. I mean, I could tell it was trying to be a warm feel-good movie but damnit, it actually worked. *sigh* I'm very glad I promised it many months ago that I would buy it. And I'm glad I kept my promise.
I'm a liiiittle confused about all their connections to each other. I feel damn stupid, actually. I'm sure I just missed a reference or two (I was writing while watching parts of it). So I'll definitely have to watch it again. Or maybe they weren't all connected to each other? Which would seem silly because so many of them were.
I can't wait until Christmas... maybe I can convince family to watch it with me tomorrow... *scemes*

Hugh was Emma's brother and Allen was a coworker with one of the people and Collin I believe was related to someone. Not that Everyone is connect with Everyone in the movie, but they are all connected to someone who is connected to someone else, and such. (If that makes sense).
Now I'm going to have to rent it and watch it again.
Glad that you like it. :) :) :)
