Love Actually

I watched this DVD last night/this morning. And not to go all Gene Shalit on yer collective asses, but...I loved it, actually. :) Seriously, it's like a British take on a Robert Altman film. There are, like, a thousand characters, yet there is no difficulty keeping track of who's who, as they are all quite distinct. And these characters were played by seemingly every contemporary British actor working today, not to mention four American actors (Billy Bob Thorton, Shannon Elizabeth, Laura Linney, and Denise Richards). Just terrific. And it was exactly what I needed right now to renew my faith in love....as hokey as that sounds.

And while I'm on the subject of good British TV/film, season three of Coupling comes out June 1st, and, perhaps needless to say, I've already pre-ordered it. I don't have BBC America, so I have to wait, eagerly, for the DVD releases of shows like Coupling and The Office. I can't wait for more Jeff-isms.
