So, I hated "Love Actually." I watched a little bit, and ended up turning it off because it is nasty. I figured that it was a love story with British accents, so it must be good.
When I think of love stories with British accents, I think of "Pride and Prejudice." I think of noble purity. Lovely dresses. Handsome gentlemen. Lovely virtuous women.
This was not that kind of movie.
I had put the movie of while I was setting up my new high speed internet thing, so I was not really giving it my undivided attention. My 12 year old walked in and, in an alarmed voice, he directed my attention to the DVD player. Whoa! That should not be done in front of a camera!
It is rated "R", that's true. But I guess I wasn't sure what that meant. Now I know.
Maybe I should go back to books sooner rather than later.....

Funny, I've done the same thing. Seems that I forget the garbage and remember the good parts of movies. So I rented "Predator", yeah, ok, garbage movie, very stupid. Any way, when streams of expletives and sexual inuendo came streaming over the tube, I instantly launched flat out in mid-air in a death quest for the remote.
They will survive us. ;>)
When one considers the spiritual state England is in, it is almost amazing they can do something as good as Dr. Who and get away with it!
Of course, I would not hasten to compare Hollywood, of course not, where even PG-13's have to be pre-watched because the labelling is awful misleading sometimes!
