Love Actually, Live Blogging
This is one of my favourite Christmas films of ALL TIME. I watch it every year and every year I cry and I cry. I figured that this time I would watch it and then comment on it in my blog because why not?
So here we go. Wine glass filled. Hit it!
Oh God. The start. I forgot. The airport. I'm going to cry. Stop it, Hugh Grant, stop it. Arrivals gate. Dammit!
Crying.
Crying.
Oh Thank God. Bill Nighy. Thank you.
Tee hee. British swearing. I love you Bill!
Come on and let it snow!! Hehehehe! Solid gold shit, maestro!
5 weeks until Christmas!
I love you Mr. Darcy! Stupid girlfriend. Stupid. Marry me Colin Firth! Stupid girlfriend.
Oh Liam Neeson. I want to hug you. I want to hug you so badly. And Emma Thompson! Love you! Tee hee. Nativity lobster!
Oh look a child bride. Hi Keira Knightley.
Hugh Grant actually trumps Justin Trudeau as prime minister. Hot. So hot. Bahahaha! "I had an uncle named Terence that I hated." Oooh! He is meeting Natalie. Adorable!
Keira Knightley kind of has a praying mantis thing happening. Sorry. Ooh, best wedding surprise ever! Her cardigan has feathers. It confuses me.
No Mr. Darcy! Don't go back home! Your brother is an ass! NOOOO!!
Bahaha. Colin cracks me up! "I'm going to America!"
That movie stand in couple are adorable!!! And look, boobs!
Oh no. The funeral. I am not ready for this. No. No. No. Sobbing.
Sobbing.
Sobbing.
Sobbing.
Oh Sweet Jesus. No. I can't.
Ok, back at the wedding. I am ok. Just need a tissue. Hahahaha! Love the DJ!
Yeah! Alan Rickman. Your voice is butter. Complete butter. And what a boss. A little too involved in his employees' lives. Awww. Carl. Office crushes are the funniest!
And Carl is hot.
Bill Nighy! Britney Spears joke, still a fave!
4 Weeks Until Christmas!
Hugh Grant as prime minister. Still rawr.
Whoah! Nudity. Stand ins, fake sex scene.
Colin is going to Wisconsin. BAHAHAHA!
Don't be a douche Alan Rickman! Your assistant is hot, but you are married to Emma Thompson! EMMA THOMPSON!
Don't cry Liam Neeson. Because then I will cry and I will keep crying... Oh Emma Thomspon! Thank you for the joke.
Liam and the kid on the bench. I don't know about you guys, but I would kidnap that child and make him mine. Oh wait, then it would be like the film Taken starring... LIAM NEESON! Whoah. Mind blown.
Awww. He's in love. Dammit I want that little boy. Adorable. Don't tell my son.
Sarah and Carl sitting in a tree... but those phone calls.
Colin Firth, you won't be alone if you marry me!!
Awkward Hugh Grant is the best Hugh Grant of them all. Hahaha! "The Dodgy end!" "Three illegitimate, but charming children". Bahahaha! "You know, being Prime Minister, I could just have him murdered." BAHAHAHA!
Liam Neeson and the kid are awesome. I'd kidnap Liam Neeson, too.
Bill Nighy on TV. "Don't buy drugs, become a pop star and they give you them to for free." BEST LINE EVER!
Ugh Keira Knightley. Whiny. Blech.
Close your legs personal assistant!! LEAVE ALAN RICKMAN ALONE! He's married!!
Love the house Colin Firth stays in in France. Yaay! Sweet Portuguese lady. If I can't have Colin Firth, she can have him because she's cute. I love Colin Firth speaking French. The land lady is feisty, too. "She doesn't speak French, just like you." Heh. Ahahaha, he's like an awkward dad while driving her home. Awesome!
Here comes the American president. Billy Bob. Heh. Sleeze.
Uh oh. Political discord. Don't go in there Natalie! DON'T GO IN THERE! NOOO! SHE IS NOT INTERESTED IN THE PRESIDENT! DON'T BELIEVE IT HUGH!
Great speech coming up. Hugh Grant is sassy, and pissed that Billy Bob took his girl. Rah rah! England. I even tear up at this part. I even cried in that Dave film. Something about politicians who are good people gets me every single time. Heh. Emma Thompson as his sister is awesome!
Emma Thomspon talking about Joni Mitchell. Ugh.. You know what is going to happen soon. Brace yourself, Tova.
Yes, Hugh Grant dancing scene. AMAZING! Don't stop! Stupid assistant interrupting.
Colin Firth on his typewriter. So bohemian. The conversation the two have is awesome. OH NO! THE PAPERS IN THE LAKE! "I'm a total spaz if I don't go in too!" Heh. So cute! "It's my favourite time of day, driving you." Tears again. This movie!
Guy from the Walking Dead being surprised by Keira Knightley. Why is she 12? She breaks in, finds the tape, puts it on. Kind of pushy for a pre-teen. "I look quite pretty." blech. What is with the hair hangy things? Annoying. Oh now you figure it out! He is in love with you! Did you not notice the heavy breathing every time you touched him? Pretty obvious. Finish her like a zombie! Insufferable.
"Would we call her chubby?" love how Hugh Grant says this. Hate his other assistant. But come on now Hugh. Don't fire Natalie!
Hehehehe! Titanic. Love you Liam Neeson. And that KID!!
Forever alone, Hugh Grant. You shouldn't have gotten rid of Natalie.
Oh Colin Firth, follow your heart! Just don't introduce her to your brother.
Oh the Bill Nighy Christmas music video is everything!
"Ringo Starr even married a Bond Girl!" I just love Neeson and this kid together. Awww. He starts learning how to drum.
Uh oh. Company Christmas party. No Emma Thompson, don't look at Alan Rickman. Stop it, Alan! You are married to an award winning actress! STAHP! Yay! Carl and Sarah are dancing together!
I hate this next scene because I know what is going to happen and you so want them to get together and they won't but I like to believe that she talks to him in the New Year and explains her situation and he isn't a douche (don't be a douche, Carl). And he wants to meet her brother and he turns out to be a kind and wonderful person. I NEED A SEQUEL!
Dude, Alan Rickman! Your wife even warned you. Why? Stay away from Mia!
This is so heart breaking. Sarah and her brother in the institution. Now I am sobbing. Full out sobs.
Ugh, leave Alan Rickman alone, Mia. Oh yay! Rowan Atikinson! Love him. 270 pounds for that necklace? Is it real gold? And you haven't even slept with her yet Alan Rickman. Oh wait, this is so she sleeps with you. I see. This scene is epic with the wrapping. The rosebuds!
1 Week Until Christmas!
Heh. Colin has a backpack filled with condoms.
Oh, the stand in movie couple just made plans for a date. Adorable. And a lot of nudity.
Kid I want to kidnap is still hard at the drums and Liam Neeson looks like he wants to jump off a bridge.
Oh no, Emma Thompson sees the necklace in his pocket and assumes it is for her. Gearing myself up for all the bad feels. Ugh.
Aww. Mr. Darcy learning Portuguese. I know it is a film but how on Earth does he learn a language in like 2 weeks. I'm still conquering pig latin. And I started that in the 90's.
Colin has arrived in Milwaukee. Tells the taxi driver to take him to a bar. Any bar. I must try this one time. Wonder where I would end up? Probably dead, I would probably end up dead. January Jones is one of the bar ladies. She went from bar lady to Betty Draper. I hope her agent gets a large gift basket regularly.
Oh no. The present opening scene. No Emma Thompson. I'm going to sob. SOB, I TELL YOU! The Joni Mitchell CD. Not the necklace. I'm going to go into fetal position. Quite possibly the most heart wrenching 30 seconds ever. Emma Thompson is a genius. Gah. I just can't. SOBBING!
Aw Liam Neeson and the kid again. Talking about him and Claudia Schiffer and having sex in every room of the house "especially in your room." BAHAHAHA! (manic laughing through the tears).
Bill Nighy's song is number one. Love it.
Aww, the stand in couple have their first kiss. "All I want for Christmas, is you." Aww. So cute!
Mr. Darcy showing up for Christmas Eve and then leaves. "I hate Uncle Jamie!" Bahaha. At least he left the presents.
Man, why can't Sarah and Carl get together. Makes no sense at all. Gah!
Child bride and her new husband on the couch. Here comes the infamous card declaring scene. Man, this always gets me. Dammit. Crying again. And this is just going to be awkward next time they hang out.
Bill Nighy showing up at his manager's place. Besties. Dammit. I'm going to keep crying. This.film.kills.me. "Come on, let's get pissed and watch porn." Laughing and crying. Snotty awful mess.
Hugh Grant go get her! Ringing all the doorbells. Such an awesome scene. Love his face when his driver starts singing. Bahahaha! And then, ugh, Mia. Homewrecker. And then Natalie's family, highlarious! The octopus in the middle. Heh.
The music is just awesome. Mr. Darcy in Marseille!
Hugh Grant bumping into Emma Thompson. Ugh. A tear or two from me. Yaaaay, here comes the little girl singing. The kid's crush. Love his little face when he gets jealous. I'm tearing up again.
Emma Thompson is so calm when she confronts Alan Rickman. Ugh. My heart is breaking. Crying.
Go get her, kid! Love this duo. Neeson and kid. GAH! Love it! Oh look, Claudia Schiffer! Tee hee.
Here comes the big declaration of love by Mr. Darcy, I am going to totally lose it again. I love this scene so so so very much. I'm getting dehydrated from all the crying, guys. Going to have to get some Gatorade. Starting to cry.
Ok, at the airport for the kid.
Back in Marseilles.
At the airport. The music and the little boy is running. Killing me!! Go get her!! UGH! Sobbing.
Mr. Darcy with an entourage. Highlarious but not stopping the tears.
Hahaha. Bill Nighy naked.
Oh the little boy got his first kiss. CRYING!
Mr. Darcy at the restaurant. I'm going to die. All the feels. SOBBING! That kiss. Full-body sobs. SOBBING...
1 month later
Airport arrivals:
First up Bill Nighy, greeting his manager. Adorable.
Next, Mr. Darcy with his Portuguese love. Her English is way too good after just a couple of months. They are greeted by the child bride, her husband and her possible future lover.
And then, Alan Rickman being greeted by his family. I still haven't figured out if she really is "Fine" or not. I like to think he just spent too much money on his assistant, nothing happened and he realized he was a total tool. I'm going to keep thinking that. In my happy place.
Kid sees his first love and look, Liam Neeson is with Claudia Schiffer! Yaay! Adorable!
Oh, and the stand in movie couple are engaged! Huzzah!
Colin is back and he brought Harriet and Denise Richards. Apparently all American women in this film wear jeans and very little else.
Here comes the prime minister and there goes Natalie jumping into his arms. Ad.or.able.
And then a montage of hugs at the arrivals. My last cry in this film. I am done, I am so freaking done. This film is my kryptonite. This pile of mush in flannel pj's needs to lie down and hug a teddy bear. Merry Christmas everybody. Going to have to sedate myself. ALL OF THE FEELS!
So here we go. Wine glass filled. Hit it!
Oh God. The start. I forgot. The airport. I'm going to cry. Stop it, Hugh Grant, stop it. Arrivals gate. Dammit!
