Damn It All

It's official. Single people should not go see romantic comedies. Ever. Unless it's a romantic comedy of such laughable proportions that your sole reason for going is to throw popcorn at the screen (i.e. anything Jennifer Lopez has ever starrred in). I went to see Love Actually tonight, and I really liked it a lot. The problem is that it left me really really wanting a girlfriend. No particular reason, just because seeing love well portrayed on screen makes love seem like a desirable thing. Anyone who knows me knows I'm staunchly anti-girlfriend until I move to Chicago, but seeing a movie like this is kryptonite to the Superman-like willpower I've exerted (anyone who knows me also knows that I just lied about that willpower bit).

Anyway, I recommend the film. Unless you're single. ESPECIALLY if you are single and suicidal. This bit of holiday sweetness might just push you over the edge. To anyone with a significant other, I give it a wholehearted thumbs up. Bastards.
