1st sign it's the holiday season:
"Love Actually" is being played over and over on tv and yes, I can't get enough of it. It's like good wine, it only gets better with age:
My new favorite lines from the movie: ( I keep going back and forth here, the movie is just that brilliant )
" Billy Mack: I realized that Christmas is the time to be with the people you love.
Joe: Right.
Billy Mack: And I realized that as dire chance and fateful cockup would have it, here I am, mid 50s, and without knowing it I've gone and spent most of my adult life with a chubby employee. And much as it grieves me to say it, it might be that the people I love is, in fact... you.
[pause]
Joe: Well, this is a surprise.
Billy Mack: Yeah...
Joe: Ten minutes at Elton John's and you're as gay as a maypole. "
[...]
"Colin: American girls would seriously dig me with my cute British accent.
Tony: You don't have a cute British accent
Colin: [excitedly] Yes I do! I'm going to America.
Tony: Colin, you're a lonely, ugly arsehole. You must accept it.
Colin: Never. I am Colin, god of sex. I'm just on the wrong continent, that's all. "
Joe: Right.

( Smiling with a wide grin ! )
2nd: And as you know, nothing says holiday season like a good old Victoria Secret fashion show, (broadcasted on tuesday here for the 2006 edition). If you are a male with tv and you have a pulse, you probably watched the show ;) but for those who missed it, here it is:
(definitely NSFW and for the J. Timberlake fans out there, You are welcome !)
(via vikthor)
Watching the show resulted in this actual exchange with a friend that shall remain unnamed: (you know who you are :) )
Me: " they say that's a 6 million dollars bra she is wearing.....I am not exactly sure what to make of that information..."
Unnamed: " yep, and the girl is not free either..."
[...]
Me: " Those ladies look like they are from another planet. The phrase "I would not throw her out of my bed" was probably invented for them"
Unnamed: "Well, I certainly wouldn't and I am girl :) "
Unnamed: " yep, and the girl is not free either..."

TGIT everyone ! What's your favorite holiday lines ?
Absolutely LOVE that movie. Watched it a million times...and these are some lines i love (there are many more)...
ReplyDeleteHugh: "Who do you have to screw round here to get a cup of tea and a biscuit?"
Hugh: "Do. The SAS are absolutely charming.
Ruthless, trained killers are just a phone call away."
Colin Firth: "Oh, God, she's in.
And now she'll think I'm a total spaz if I don't go in too.
Fuck - it's cold!"
This one's funny too -
"- Harry?
- Sarah, switch off your phone and tell me exactly how long it is that you've been working here.
- Two years, seven months,
three days and, I suppose, what, two hours?
- And how long have you been in love with Karl, our enigmatic chief designer?
- Um...Two years, seven months, three days and, I suppose, an hour and 30 minutes.
-Thought as much.
- Do you think everybody knows?
- Yes.
- Do you think Karl knows?
- Yes.
- Oh, that is... that is bad news.
- I just thought that maybe the time had come to do something about it.
- Like what?
- Invite him out for a drink
then casually mention you'd like to marry him and have lots of sex and babies.
- You know that?
- Yes. And so does Karl. Think about it, for all our sakes.
It's Christmas.
- Certainly. Excellent. Will do.
Thanks, boss.
- Hi, Sarah.
- Hi, Karl."
Sorry for clogging your comment space!!
ReplyDeleteJust got a good chuckle reading those lines :)

> Hey Jo,
ReplyDeleteWelcome to the "Colin Firth, Emma Thompson and Keira Knightley show" where funny romantic Brits rule ! :)
>Hello Mary,
Welcome here, English is not the mother tongue around here but we all like to speak our mind...in any languages :)
err, I hate romantic comedies. And holidays, too, for that matter. Here's my quote:
ReplyDelete"Bah!" said Scrooge, "Humbug!" ... “If I could work my will," said Scrooge indignantly, “every idiot who goes about with ‘Merry Christmas’ on his lips, should be boiled with his own pudding, and buried with a stake of holly through his heart. He should!”
Hey bdwb,
ReplyDeleteThat is quite alright ;). Merry Xmas to you...still ! :)
