    - Fuckin Nubby! -- nm - Epiphany Feb 13, 14:03
    - "Just another day in... The Nublight Zone." -- nm - Reagen Feb 13, 14:03 1
      - AAAAAHHHHH!!!!! -- nm - nubby Feb 13, 14:04
  - There's a fight about Notting Hill?? Oh waitaminnit - this sounds familiar. -- nm - Diva Feb 13, 13:55 12
    - some people think - pigby Feb 13, 13:57 11
      - some people think a pricey painting equals love? -- nm - loosilu Feb 13, 13:59 10
        
        it was the painting's meaning/sentiment that they shared when it was just a litho in his kitchen that made it valuable - pigby Feb 13, 14:01 6
        
        awww. -- nm - kare Feb 13, 14:06
        
        right - i always took it that she knew it would mean more to him then her, so she gives it to him, no strings attached. -- nm - Andie Feb 13, 14:05 1
        
        Yep. -- nm - Will Hunting Feb 13, 14:06
        
        yes!! -- nm - kelly Feb 13, 14:04
        
        word. -- nm - Diva Feb 13, 14:04
        
        went over my head I guess. -- nm - loosilu Feb 13, 14:03
        
        well it's a good indication! -- nm - Remlik Feb 13, 14:01 2
        
        not if money means nothing to you. -- nm - loosilu Feb 13, 14:01 1
        
        just because she had a lot of it doesn't mean it means nothing. it doesn't negate the value of a gift from the heart, no matter how much it does (or - kare Feb 13, 14:04
  - what's to fight over? - pigby Feb 13, 13:53 32
    - I hate it because of Julia and her awful character. -- nm - loosilu Feb 13, 13:54 31
      - She's not and "awful character", she was just managed so much that she forgot how to be a person. Hugh gave that back to her. -- nm - Trish Feb 13, 13:56
      - hmm, I should say I liked it fine except for that character. which is a bit of a problem for a rom-com. -- nm - loosilu Feb 13, 13:55
      - damn her giving him something of value to her! - pigby Feb 13, 13:55 28
        
        it's like we're trying to find logic in love. more: in a *movie* about love. we don't choose who we love. -- nm - candy hearts love mandy lane Feb 13, 14:08
        
        she gave nothing of value to him. -- nm - loosilu Feb 13, 13:56 26
        
        I would say giving an original Marc Chagall painting was valuable (as well as asking to be forgiven) but we may see that differently. -- nm - Diva Feb 13, 13:57 6
        
        to her it was nothing. -- nm - loosilu Feb 13, 13:58 5
        
        But it was something to her - it was something she loved. - kelly Feb 13, 14:00 1
        
        exactly. -- nm - Andie Feb 13, 14:09
        
        We see this differently. -- nm - Diva Feb 13, 14:00
        
        OH! I remember this argument. Wasn't it three years ago or something? -- nm - Beryllium Feb 13, 13:59 1
        
        yeah. Total honesty: I really hate Julia Roberts so everything I say is probably biased. -- nm - loosilu Feb 13, 14:01
        
        hugh grant has been known to pay for sex. -- nm - mafic Feb 13, 13:57
        
        she gave him a priceless painting! -- nm - Remlik Feb 13, 13:57 7
        
        that she didn't care about. -- nm - loosilu Feb 13, 13:57 6
        
        she cared enough to give it to him! -- nm - Remlik Feb 13, 13:58 1
        
        like loosi cares enough to give her paintings to family and friends rather than selling them! -- nm - candy hearts love mandy lane Feb 13, 14:10
        
        she didn't care about it so much that she bought the original and hung it in her apartment? -- nm - pigby Feb 13, 13:58 3
        
        who knows, we had no indication she cared. it's a bauble. -- nm - loosilu Feb 13, 13:59 2
        
        And there is no indication that she didn't care about it. -- nm - Diva Feb 13, 14:06 1
        
        truthfully, if it was some other actress, I'd probably be fine iwth it. -- nm - loosilu Feb 13, 14:08
        
        hearts are of *utmost* value! -- nm - kare Feb 13, 13:56 9
        
        she didn't change anything in her life at all. they *told* us she gave him her heart but didn't show us. -- nm - loosilu Feb 13, 13:57 8
        
        i guess she just agreed to - kare Feb 13, 14:00 2
        
        a belly doesn't sell me the idea of love. :) -- nm - loosilu Feb 13, 14:04 1
        
        *you* are saying giving something of value and changing her life = love. - kare Feb 13, 14:09
        
        So you totally didn't watch the last 5 minutes of the movie? (spoils) - Trish Feb 13, 13:59 4
        
        a pasted on sequence that showed everything he gave her and nothing she gave him. -- nm - loosilu Feb 13, 14:00 3
        
        love. why does there need to be more than that? -- nm - kare Feb 13, 14:01 2
        
        I found it contrived and didn't buy it. that's all. -- nm - loosilu Feb 13, 14:02 1
        
        I think I heard the same thing about Erin Brokovich once. -- nm - Beryllium Feb 13, 14:04
- And that's why it was the first HWDYK that I did. But you know that line is pure cheese. Stilton. -- nm - Diva Feb 13, 13:52 1
  - i still get . . . dust in my eyes - pigby Feb 13, 13:53
Reagen has a point about songs that are just fun to do. Now instead of a serious folkie, I want to be in a power pop group. -- nm - crash davis Feb 13, 13:50 12

        the one that really use to hurt me was Cherub Rock, but I love that song and I keep playing it -- nm - crash davis Feb 13, 13:55 3
        
        I still have trouble with the opening rythym. -- nm - Reagen Feb 13, 13:58 2
        
        yes it takes me a good 30 seconds to find the groove -- nm - Epiphany Feb 13, 14:03
        
        yeah, thats the part that gets me if I make it through there, then I'm good -- nm - crash davis Feb 13, 14:00
Oh, no he di'n't! -- (link) - znufrii Feb 13, 13:49 6

  - Motherf*cking WORD! -- nm - znufrii Feb 13, 13:53 4
    - I'm just annoyed that's he's already gone and cleared most of the site. -- nm - znufrii Feb 13, 13:54 3
      - That's a shame. I feel for the people who were uprooted and I hope they win. -- nm - Krusty Feb 13, 13:59 2
        
        Honestly, I'm not sure I wouldn't have just taken the buyout years ago and have been done with it. - znufrii Feb 13, 14:02 1
        
        I definitely would have taken it, I wouldn't want to deal w/the headaches that the court case would cause. - Krusty Feb 13, 14:04

  - At first, but no. -- nm - Tina Fey Feb 13, 13:54
  - hell, this woman seems to have her head on very straight, and ended it when she needed to. i doubt she was just 100% blinded the first two months. -- nm - kare Feb 13, 13:53 8
    - Trust me, I'm not blaming the victim here--I was just reminding Bery that picking the sociopath out of the crowd isn't always easy. -- nm - Trish Feb 13, 13:55 3
      - True, true. So maybe he's just a run-of-the-mill two-faced son of a bitch. That's also possible. -- nm - Beryllium Feb 13, 14:03
      - definitely. was trying to support your comment. :) -- nm - kare Feb 13, 13:56 1
