"did you ever get the feeling that we started in the middle?"

Another hard one, but funnily after three days of thinking about it it feels kind of easy to answer

My love for Colin Firth really doesn't know ANY bounds, but honestly? I liked the 2005 American version with Jimmy Fallon better. Jimmy Fallon is adorable as ALWAYS, clearly, but it was just a more enjoyable movie as a whole.

I have actually heard that before, which hasn't exactly helped my initiative to rent it. It's just... COLIN. Lord. Fallon is seriously adorable, no joke and I can't help but feel bad to everyone who thinks that he is awkward. Yeah, he is awkward... that is part of the reason I love him so. Lovably awkward and sweet.

I was going to say something here- I do love Nick Hornby, and considered both of those books- but I was seriously sidetracked by laughing really hard at your icon.

We were watching Star Trek, so I thought it appropriate... but the first time I saw it I cracked up so hard that I had to go and nick it. I almost felt bad but Zoolander. There is another one saying "There is more to life than being really ridiculously good looking." but it is Chris Pine rather than Pine as Kirk so I feel weird using it. (As my knowledge of him ends with his name and the fact that his dad was an actor. I think?)

BUT. NIck Hornby FTW. I first read High Fidelity, due to my rampant Cusack addiction, but he has yet to really fail me. Even though Fever Pitch the book is a lot less gushy about girl and more gushy about sports, I still can't help but love it.

Have you read About A Boy? I really liked that one

[cinderlily]

Yup. Though, ngl, I didn't like it the first time I read it. The movie was hard enough for me, even with my small annoyance by Hugh Grant's acting in bits of it I still left it kind of broken hearted for the boy and then I went home thinking maybe if I read it it would be helpful... It wasn't really. I finished it the first time and just wanted to kidnap the damn kid and fix him. (Which is SO out of character for me, you know. ;))

I haven't read the book, but I LOVE the movie Fever Pitch. It's just so adorable. Fallon and Barrymore do a great job.

Nick Hornby is awesome. Have you read A Long Way Down? That's a good book. Also, I haven't read the book for this either, but About A Boy is one of my favorite movies. :D

[cinderlily]

I have read all of the Hornby collection (benefit of a husband in the book business, haha) and the only one I still can't reread is "How To Be Good". But! OMG. Yes. I loved Fever Pitch, and I think it was the first thing Timm and I bonded over... He wanted to see it because it had baseball and I wanted to see it because I ♥ Drew Barrymore something fierce.

(BTW, ICON LOVE. Oh Castle...)

I didn't know it was a book...oops?
