Well let's see... I'm still a nerd, only sleep when I absolutely have to, eat more take away now than I did then, am no longer single (long story, feel free to ask sometime,) I spend all my time on the computer but little of it in chat rooms (bloody Eps!) and my closest friends are one's I've never met in person. Yep, I'm as normal as you are.

...when it was first released and thought the computer effects were amazing. When I watched it again recently, it now amazed me how outdated the computer effects looked! What a difference a few years make! Well done!

Don't worry too much about the speeeeling! :-P

I think the reason I really liked Two Weeks Notice was because it had brilliant dialogue - a real rarity these days. Reminded me of some of the best Cary Grant movies etc.

Thanks for the post - and re-post! - of your comment. :-D

Life's a beetch without a laptop (Reply to this comment)

She is a typical nerd, sleeping little, living on take away food, having no boyfriend and practically no social life in the real world, preferring instead to spend all her time on the computer, logged into chat rooms, and the like.

A year ago, that was me. Now, most of it is still applicable.

I know I saw this but don't remember it very well.

Sigh (comment repost) (Reply to this comment)

I enjoyed the film but hadn't really analyzed it much when I watched. Interesting take on why it didn't work that well. I'm not really sure whether I noticed that or not and can't say I actually paid particular attention to Northam's character when I saw it.

I agree with your takes on the other films. I really liked Two Weeks Notice for some reason or another. I wasn't expecting much after seeing a slew of crappy romantic comedies lately but it actually worked pretty well.

:) The repost is because I'm really getting worse at spelling as I type and this one: "analized" bugged me.
