Our first official meeting will be this Saturday at Tennispalatsi 2. We will be watching his newest movie RAKKAUTTA VAIN / LOVE ACTUALLY. It starts at 14:45 and it would be great to know who is interested so that we can get group tickets or something.
After the movie is in the air. Drinks? Dinner? Arabella has offered to let up hang out at hers?
Please gentlemen let your finnish counterparts know. If as Peter mentioned they are interested in meeting some of us crazy foreigners.

And to clarify, that would be Saturday December 6...
The calendar says that it's Independence Day (a.k.a. National Hangover Day), so that might mean that the stores are closed, but the cafes should be open, hopefully. The target here is a nice relaxed afternoon, and we'll see what happens after that

This is from a guys point of view: I got taken to see it last week and IMHO the storyline is bordering on 'chick-flick' but Richard Curtis did do a good job overall. I loved Rowan Atkinson's scenes. There were a few occasions in the film where you had to be British to understand the joke so I found myself the only person in the auditorium who was laughing.
Its better than part 2 and 3 of the Matrix films if thats anything to go by. In comparison its quite refreshing and there are lots of familiar faces from British TV series.
BTW, Tim from 'The Office' is in it too. He has a funny part.

A movie packed full of British actors....a dentist's nightmare.dusty_bin wrote:OK, Sorry, I am dim...Phil wrote:...bring your toothbrush.
Why would I take a toothbrush to a movie?
You're gonna have this uncontrollable urge to brush your teeth."'Hedley and Wyche', the British toothpaste. You don't have to brush your teeth every week, but you just might want to."
Well...there are comic bits, especially some of the jokes had on Americans :) But, there is one thread in the several the movie has that features Emma Thompson who does a brilliant job and I got a bit sniffley. It portrays love in both its depth and its shallowness and a few other ways you probably wouldn't have thought of. It's a pity the brits trash on it for Hugh and the yanks trash on it for hitting a few nerves as it's both a thoughtful and a fun movie.dusty_bin wrote:Why tissues?
I thought it was a comedy.
Wanted to go see it. Don't want to if it makes me cry... :ohno:
Just saw the film too, Eashton's right that Brits will slate it for it's Hugh Grantasticityishness, and I'll be interested to see the press' reaction to the 'little bit of politics' section. (I'm pretty sure that doesn't reveal anything for you guys going to see it).
By the way, for anyone else who's easily scared by the 'Brit's bad teeth issue mentioned above', just try repeating
"I'm not a totally shallow individual" 10 times next time you look in the mirror, and be comforted that although the world is going down the toilet, you have lovely, straight, white teeth, that look almost exactly like nice bits of shiny plastic, and are the same shade as Michael Jackson's ass

It's like the furor over Prince Charles, aside from the uselessness of being a royal, since when did buggery make the news in the UK? :)
