Note to self: don't read Le Carré on cold, damp Sunday mornings when you're indulging in bleakness. What a book, though. I shall now go to the cinema to see Wimbledon, which will leave me cheery and at one with the world.

Date: 2004-09-26 05:59 am (UTC)The trailers and posters haven't appealed to me at all.
On the other hand, we did watch '10 Things I Hate About You' again last night.

Date: 2004-09-26 06:27 am (UTC)'10 Things...' got an honorary mention when we were coming up with our list of top 5 romcoms at Pizza Express afterwards (we decided it was a teencom rather than a romcom, so it didn't make the list).

Date: 2004-09-26 09:17 am (UTC)Oooh, good subject. What was your list?
no subject
Date: 2004-09-26 09:24 am (UTC)Miss Congeniality
Addicted to Love
Grosse Pointe Blank
Two Weeks' Notice
Legally Blonde
I wanted When Harry Met Sally, but Mr A. can't sit through it, and it was a shared list.

Date: 2004-09-26 09:39 am (UTC)There must be rom coms I like, but my brain is refusing to offer up anything closer to home than Romuald et Juliette. Gosh, it's years since I've seen that. I wish it would show up on BBC4 or something.

Date: 2004-09-26 10:44 am (UTC)Addicted to Love has Meg Ryan and Matthew Broderick bent on revenge on the ex-partners who jilted them (and ran off with each other).
The other two are both Sandra Bullock film. We've watched Miss Congeniality far too many times. Michael Caine. William Shatner. Gosh, I really want to see it again now.

Date: 2004-09-26 10:43 am (UTC)'10 Things' is definitely a teencom. Sugoll spent a lot of time picking out the bits from it that were mocked in 'Not Another Teen Movie'.
I think 'Legally Blonde', 'Addicted to Love' and 'Grosse Pointe Blank' would be on my list too, along with 'When Harry Met Sally'. I'd be torn between 'Four Weddings' and 'Notting Hill' for the 5th. I thought of 'Adventures in Babysitting', but that's a teen movie as well.

Date: 2004-09-26 10:46 am (UTC)Oh! Just remembered Groundhog Day! And Mr A. just shouted up, "To Catch A Thief!"

Date: 2004-09-26 10:59 am (UTC)Fair point.
I don't think I've seen 'To Catch a Thief'.
