Hastily, before reveals this afternoon! There are heaps of things I haven't even looked at, stuff I probably didn't bookmark, some of these I might not yet have commented on, but let's have a look before we all cease to be anonymous.

(And, of course, not forgetting my wonderful gifts, all recced here - Chalet School, Miss Marple & Ten Stupidest

Oooh thank you! I have a terrible tendency to mostly not bother listening to commentaries - which I know is wrong of me, but I do. However, I will definitely make an exception and grab the DVD at the weekend for a watch & listen combined.

This is what I actually wrote, when reblogging someone's LA gifset on Tumblr last week:

Also, I have this half-baked theory that Rowan Atkinson's character knows that Alan Rickman's character isn't anxious because he fears his wife is going to come along and see the gift he's purchasing, but RA's character knows it's because the gift *isn't* for his wife. Don't ask me how he'd know that (I did say it was a half-baked theory!) - he just does - and that's why he's taking an inordinately long time to gift wrap that expensive necklace...

So it turns out my theory was NOT half-baked but actually bloody smart! Go me! The fact he's an angel also explains his crucial intervention at the airport, allowing Thomas Sangster's character to run after the girl he loves.

YAY!

Thank you so much for telling me this, it makes me ridiculously happy!

Oh, most film commentaries are really dull! I used to listen to them more, because DW and Red Dwarf commentaries led me to believe that commentaries were fun. However, the one for Love, Actually is both fun and interesting. And the deleted scenes show more connections and extra stories that got cut because it was all starting to get too labyrinthine with them in (but one of them is about Emma Thompson's character and her son, and that includes people speculating about angels and things).

And, yes - you're totally right! Not in the least half-baked! :-)

Wonderful! I will definitely have a watch - perhaps on Saturday 'cos I'll enjoy it after 4.5 hours of my boss driving me insane!

*grins* I feel quite clever for working it out without the commentary/missing scenes.

You are very clever indeed, but then I've known that for ages! ;-p

*blushes* Thanks.
