Agreed.
I also thought...
SPOILER AHEAD
...that him landing on a car windscreen from only ten feet above would not have killed him. Catherine even told him he would not die even if he landed on the road, so as the car broke his fall, his injuries would not be that bad. Most likely only several broken bones.
I agree with the OP.
I loved all the characters, especially Diane!
Her date with Gregg had me crying laughing ...Comedy gold.
I don't see how there can be another series as this story seemed complete at the end of series 2.
Elgin James and Stephen Merchant, if there can't be a series 3, please write something else with these actors in.
Thanks!
Thanks for that. A good account... IF the series had only been a drama.
Shame it mentioned nothing of the brilliant comedy!
Not silly at all. That is the twist of another movie after all.
From where I'm standing it's the homophobic racist ruining it.
Yeah I know right.
A bit corny, but it does look like the writers (maybe when drink!) just thought of the words to the song... Last Christmas I gave you my heart... and thought.
I know! I'm gonna write a whole movie about this ONE line!
(I'm not including the second line, as it was her original heart that was "thrown away" - not given away - so that's very tenuous, and the writers were clearly grappling there!).
Loved the movie though, and I watched it twice. Rom Coms aren't usually my thing, but I guess I must like George Michael music.
The whole movie was a tribute to George Michael.
And the whole story (once you know the ending!) was based on a single line of a George Michael song!
I'm guessing you didn't spot Andrew Ridgely in the audience singing at the end?
Bit late to the party, but here's my 2 cents...
I think his dad was tough and over-strict ONLY as a backstory to make Christian's character a successful fighter in adulthood.
At first I disliked his father's character for being so cruel, but by the end of the movie, I see that it was probably the best way to create the back story.
The sun does look bigger when it sets, compared to when it's high in the sky; you're right.
But not THAT big. I have photographed many sunsets and sunrises on many different lenses, and on Hard Sun, it was definitely digitally enhanced to appear bigger.
1. When people don't say Bye before they hang up the phone!
Example: "I have the package" (hangs up)
I know it's just to save valuable time in the movie, but it seems so rude!
2. Flat, non magnifying glasses/spectacle lenses that are obvious by the way they reflect light. They make rounded (non-magnifying) sunglasses, so why can't they make rounded plain glasses?
3. When a character is looking in the mirror, but they don't want to get the camera in the reflection, so they position the mirror to show the person in the mirror from the camera's POV. Except everyone knows that all the actor can see in the mirror is the damn camera!
4. When someone falls or jumps from a high building (Just between 3-10 floors up; not 100 floors). They ALWAYS fall about 30-50 feet away from the building!! WTF?!
Human beings cannot fly! They would fall straight down, and even on a windy day they wouldn't land more than 15 feet from the building.
5. When a cop gets injured and is in hospital, hooked up to machines. You just KNOW he (or she; ...Sandra Bullock did it once!) is going to pull the tubes out of their arm, get dressed and go and solve the case.
This annoys me, not just because in real life they'd be too injured to move, but because there is no real cop on earth who is that conscientious!
I don't know, but if the sun....
was that big in the sky the earth would have fried long before.
I agree. It did all happen for real.
I can't belive so many people think he died in the war. This is NOT like Jacob's Ladder. It is a LOT better than that movie.
Yes, it is wonderful.
"But a tad fat"!
You've never seen Peter Kay *thin*!
So why are you surprised?!!
This thread is almost as funny as the movie! :D
That's fine Lennonforever, but a very small percentage will donate.
I hope the site is able to survive whatever happens.
Sorry not a movie but TV series:
My fave goof was in the original Starsky and Hutch TV series from the 1970s, that I saw again with a friend in 2003.
I was trying to describe a mustard type color to my friend and he could not understand what color I meant. Then we watched S&H, and Hutch's leather jacket was that exact color, so I said "LOOK! That color!"
(The editing was going back and forth from Starsky to Hutch in the police office).
My friend said "What are you talking about?"
I looked again and Hutch's jacket had changed to DARK BROWN!!
I thought my pal thought I was crazy... til the magic jacket changed back to "mustard" again!
It was one of those moments where you had to BE there to experience the full humor! :D
Haha! aww ok! It did make me chuckle actually!
oh dear. Too soon dude :D
At least wait 24 hours!
I found that hard to believe too. So your theory makes more sense OP.
Strangely, Michael J Fox, who shares his birthday with Johnny, claims he doesn't know if his kids have ever seen Back To The Future!
WHAAAT???
Sorry, but I just can't believe that one. I think he may have been committing "False Modesty" there!
He isn't even gone overnight!
Once the Doc is saved by his bullet proof vest, he drops Marty off at home only a few hours after he left (maybe less than one hour).
I know it is now a different timeline, but even if it wasn't, he was only out of his parents' house for a short time - all be it, in the middle of the night.
