Love Actually - Shut up and go watch it

[absoluteshine]

I said I'd never do a movie review on my lj but I lied. Go watch Love ActuallyTake your significant other. Take your son or daughter or nephew or niece. Take your mom or dad as long as they can understand non-American proper limey English. Take the ex you mistreated and still feel guilty about. Take the barista at Starbucks that you have a crush on

I saw the movie tonight...ahh..i loved it! =)

I dragged the guy i'm dating to watch it and deep down inside, he loved it too =)

[absoluteshine]

Really? Hope that's working out for you C. I would classify the beginning of your relationship as "tormented love". I'm glad you finally got around to asking him out.

[absoluteshine]

Have been following your journal and understand it's a tough phase you're going thru now.

I'm not sure if I'm in a better posn than you. I'm in love but my gf's away (in another country) and she's gonna go thru a divorce decision in a few days time (yes, she's married).

I've gone thru many relationships in the past but no one has ever blown me away the way she did and I'm prepared to spend the rest of my life with her.

Wish you will get over your phase too. Best of luck.

Dear Anonymous,

Thanks for taking the time to read my journal and to share your own personal situation. I believe that your situation, albeit not typical in format is typical of love...in so that it is blind to these things: color and age and social class. As the movie says, "love actually is everywhere".

Thanks for the inspiration and encouragement. I will get over my phase.

Sincerely,

R

fine fine fine!!!
i've heard so many reviews about this movie .... i will go watch it.

actually i wonder if it'll still be in theaters a month from now!

and i'm going to beat you senseless if you're only endorsing this movie because of kiera knightley!!!

[absoluteshine]

It will probably still be in the theatres since it is a bit of a Christmas movie. But, don't wait until then, go now. Walk out of work, skip school, leave him at the alter...don't worry, it will be worth it.

And for the record Kiera is hot but if Kristen Kreuk knew I was cheating on her, she'd beat me more than senseless.

kristen kreuk is a bit overrated in my books.

it is ALL ABOUT miss jessica ALBA!! we're getting married, you know. Maxim's paying for the wedding!!

[absoluteshine]

Excuse me? Don't u be talking about my bitch like that!

Jessica Alba is pretty. My friend who's an airline attendant for Cathay has a picture with her on the flight. She said Jessica was very sweet and very much in love with a girl named Miki.
