Here are some options:

P.S. Also, people are saying Let it Snow is good.

That’s what it comes down to, ultimately: politics. The Love Actually wars are really a proxy conflict symbolic of the divided Britain we inhabit today. The film itself is a postmodern ironic commentary on the hubris of the Blair years.

whoa, this is deep

Lindy West summarised it nicely for me, with the exception that she doesn’t know about the France/Portugal worker thing.

Colin Firth falls in “love” with Aurelia at first sight, establishing Love Actually ’s central moral lesson: The less a woman talks, the more lovable she is.

THIS. The film makes no differentiation between love and “I quite fancy you”. Just thinking someone is attractive means you “love” them. And yes, the only women who get to talk/have a personality get punished for it.

Edit: autocorrect

It was a “wait, what?” moment for me.

I think an important lesson I learned from Love Actually is that this guy is mighty fine.

kxkvi · December 11, 2019, 2:16am

Who he?

Laura Linney’s hottie.

Hallmark changing it’s mind daily.

I think it’s pretty straightforward. They thought the conservative agitators spoke for most of their viewership, and found out they were wrong, very quickly.

Although Hallmark has a lot of ground to make up, what pleases me is that One Million Moms just got a very public slap on the wrist.

I think we need to start referring to this group by its correct name, One Mom.

chgoliz · December 16, 2019, 3:34pm

Or more likely, the man married to the mom.

One Mullioned Momoid. The incomplete Mom-like substitute

No, they are the crises inherent in a system that suppresses technological changes to any market owned by absentee billionaires.

How could you possibly apply physics to people? But it really is no different than economics.

And will most likely work as well!

Noooo. Even Dr. Phil can’t be that clueless.

AndyHilmer · January 3, 2020, 5:51am

What in the deranged thingy of um.

AndyHilmer · January 3, 2020, 5:59am

I am imagining the extended scene where his decorator fed him magic muchrooms.

What the heck is the white stuff on the floor around the pool table legs? Floor scratches due to moving the table a billion times? Spray paint?
