I didn't mind that song at all in it. it's a madcap song...worked well. - Will Hunting Feb 13, 13:53
You're baiting that Notting Hill fight again, aren't you. -- nm - nubby Feb 13, 13:52 50
- In a true paradox, it seems that *I* have baited the very argument I accused pigby of. -- nm - nubby Feb 13, 14:02 3
  - 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
