ariotofmyown Posted November 7, 2020 Share Posted November 7, 2020 The Christmas Chronicles on Netflix is a great recent Xmas film. The sequel is out this year too. Claus was brilliant from Netflix too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will never watch it, likewise Four Weddings and a Funeral. Had the misfortune to watch Notting Hill once. Made we want to curl up and die. Hate that sort of film set in Britain/British film made to purely appeal to US audience, of a Britain that pretty much doesn't exist. Long Good Friday is what a proper British Film should be. Or Secrets & Lies. Read a bit about Love Actually recently. Sounds like weird, creepy stuff so glad I never saw it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you can, try and live out your life without ever seeing it. It's worse than you imagine. I actually get angry at people who like it. I don't show it openly but I lose respect for them. It exposes their lack of any meaningful soul. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A part of me wants to ask you why you like the film... start a debate... but it's like with your arguement with your gammon about Johnny Foreigner as manager... you're so far apart in your views - what's the point? One of my best friends thinks Noel Gallagher is one of the best songwriters in the country - how do you even start to argue with that when you have a 4 year old daughter genuinely showing more talent with her poo based ditties?

r4derby Posted November 7, 2020 Share Posted November 7, 2020 The problem with Love Actually is that half the storylines ruin the film. The guy wanting to get with his best mates wife, after they’ve just got married. Adulterous man buying presents for someone else, showing the hardship on his wife. While the other storylines have charm and are fun, those ruin it for me sadly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noel Gallagher wrote some of the best songs of the mid nineties, mostly the stuff that was on Oasis B sides. Anyone who says otherwise is part of a secret collectors society that trades Kenny Burns farts on the black market. Love Actually is rubbish though.

Will never watch Grease either. Ignorance is bliss. I unfortunately saw Bridget Jones Diary. Can't be many more sexist films than that. I don't think I'm a total cultural snob. I thought Titanic was pretty good for a big budget release. Love Star Wars and Marvel films. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably another topic, but how much of being a great songwriter is lyrics and how much is the music? Is it how they both work together? Then you have bands, Manics or Smith say, where someone writes the words and someone else does the music. Are the band the songwriters, or the individuals? I love some Oasis songs, but the lyrics are secondary. Don't Look Back in Anger is possibly my favourite of their big hits, but the lyrics are pretty meaningless. Half the World Away has some good words. And the drop out words of Cigarettes and Alcohol is pretty, especially when you are 16. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
