Love Actually: Ah well, mileage varies. I just love the writer/director (Richard Curtis, one of the Blackadder writers), and so many of the stars...my fam watches so much Brit stuff, we knew most everybody. And Bill Nighy is hysterical, and I especially loved the Colin Firth story (writer in love!), and the Liam Neeson story with the son. And then there's the fact that Richard Curtis just has a lot of my optimistic mindset about people, so the essential message of the film...
Ok, ok, I'll shut up. :?P
Oh, but random fact of the day: Richard Curtis is not only good friends with Neil Gaiman, he was the inspiration for Richard Mayhew, the main character in Gaiman's 'Neverwhere' TV series and novel. *g*
Coupling: is *hilarious*. Might take an episode or two to get used to the speed at which the innuendo flies and the wackiness of the chars, but you fall in love with them. *g* And one of the leads, Steve (yup, Stephen Moffat wrote a show where one of the pairs of lovers is Steve and Susan...based largely on himself and his wife, Sue, who's a producer on the show!)...is played by Jack Davenport...alias Commodore Norrington in Pirates of the Carribean.
