this week on we hate movies it's the story of a sad guy with a sad life and a sad bookstore it's notting hill i'm andrew jupin oh i'm sorry i did see you coming after me oh jeez um oh uh sevin sadak who uh eric cisco i fought see you shog it's chris cabman hi there and we hate movies Hello, welcome to we hate movies. Thank you for, we hate movies. Thank you for tuning in as always. If you're new to this adventure that we're on, we're a comedy podcast where we take a movie of any ilk and make fun of it for a little while.

And this week, we're talking Roger Michel, the late great Roger Michel's 1999, too long for its own good rom-com, Notting Hill. Yes, now close your eyes, everyone, in a picture like magazines, like podcasting weekly. And that kind of, we hate movies, you know, and just, oh, wait, there's another one. Oh, we're smiling, maybe on the road or something.

Wait, excuse me. me, Eric, I must do this. They talk about movies that suck ass. They're talking about bullshit. Now, hang on a second, Chris Cabin. Let us not get into this knocking Elvis Costello. Can we please?

Dude, could I join Chris? Can we do it? Hey, and I love Elvis Costello. I can knock the shit out of him because, like, this is the corny. Like, his involvement of this is almost arbitrary. It's just that it's used in this way. that's what I'm saying. No, no, no. That's what I'm saying.

It's a crappy song. Yeah, yeah. I also don't like the song. I'll put Steve on that one. This is not a good song. I like Elvis Costello a lot. I had no idea this was him until right now. Really? How did you miss that voice? I guess I was too busy reading Newsweek. Oh, that's fair. I understand that. Hollywood women take over. Yes, oh, man. What's crazy is. Still waiting on that one, by the way. On the March. This whole movie, you realize when you're rewatching it now, like in hindsight, this whole movie, is just kind of that scene from Oceans 12? Yeah, well, I was, yes, and that's what's so excruciating about it.

I mean, has anyone ever, as a, as a movie star presence, commented on their stardom in film more than Julia Roberts? Like, it's that, it's this, uh, I want to say America's sweetheart has a lot to say about that as well. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. You know, like, it's just, it's a, it's a lot, Julia. Maybe, uh, Woody Allen or something. I was going to say, of the modern, like, big Hollywood star now, yeah, Jules is at the top, but, like, Golden Age, like, those fuckers were playing, like, celebrities all the time. Like, not themselves or whatever, but I feel like there's a lot of movies,

especially, like, romantic whatever's where it's, like, a hyper-famous person who's being played by a hyper-famous, this is not inspired by films of yours. this apparently actually happened to Richard Curtis's friend. Yes. Which they won't tell you the celebrity. It's fake. It's fake. It's fake. Dwayne the Rock Johnson.

Somebody was dating Dwayne the Rock Johnson. You have to run to WrestleMania to propose or whatever. I'm just a man. Ask it if you could smell la la la la what I'm cooking. Oh, yeah, smell.

Would you like to buy some travel books? Don't buy that one. That's a bullshit artist. That guy who wrote that one. He's a bullshit artist. He's a good one. Yeah, I love stocking my store with garbage. Because they love it.

Should I know the neighborhood of Notting Hill just as a general factoid? It's a popular neighborhood. I mean, but as far as like Americans knowing about it, it's this movie and nothing else. I mean, before this, I have no idea what the situation was. We're not welcome there. We're not welcome. I don't know if it was like a thing. We're like, oh, everybody knows that it was a cute neighborhood. It's apparently a very

bougie. I asked about this when I reviewed it on Letterbox. It's sort of like a bougie, like a sort of expensive kind of neighborhood. And the fact that a dude lives there making a living at a shitty travel bookstore is apparently unbelievable. Crazy. Absolutely out of the I've been to Notting Hill. Oh, there's that picture of him.

He looks like a big fucking idiot going, there's where the big blue door was, my favorite movie. Did you bring a travel book, you schmuck? I bought the Thailand book that he asked. Yes, that one specifically. No, it's Turkey, sorry. Yeah, I was going to say, wait a second. No, I've been there on like, they do a big on Sundays.

Like the, they put like, it's like a market, like a farmer's market thing. People come out, you walk down, you buy a scone. such and so forth you walk for a while it's nice uh but it is i mean i know here's the thing i know nothing about like what uh americans who are really into british stuff would know about notting hill before this i know nothing about that i bet you they probably know about because it's a very posh as as andrew said it's a very posh neighborhood there is a concern in america there's a growing number of royalists yes i don't like it people that are obsessed with the british Royals and I imagine they go

overall every you know they're Anglo files oh yes and I'm sure they love this I mean this was when this came out in 99 this is as important to the special relationship as anything that's ever happened in the 90s I think getting Julia Roberts and Hugh Grant

in the same room and fall in love with each other I mean if they could actually have gotten them to get together in real life and to mate that would have really been the coup that really would have by the way like they're fucking apes at the zoo Can I just really quickly? I don't think they have great chemistry,

and I don't know what director, direction Julia Roberts received or what she was trying to do. This low-key thing she's doing is, it's putting me to, like, she just is whispering this entire movie. Like, there's no, none of that, like, fun, bombastic, Julia Roberts'ness of it.

You're absolutely right. She's whisper-talking, and he's talking and acting exactly like C-3PO. Well, that's, I think the key, my secret thing is I don't think Julia Roberts really has chemistry with anybody like she herself is a great actress and like Aaron

Brockovich I think she's incredible I really do I love that performance I think she's amazing in it and when she was younger like she was a star like a pretty woman will be on this on this show at some point it is nuts but she is you cannot keep your eyes off her in that movie

and uh same thing with Mystic Pizza uh and she's got a quality she's she's definitely a star. It's, there's something about her. She's magnetic, but like, as far as, like, her being attracted to other people, I've never, the sexiness thing or like, even like the romantic thing, it's always felt like a big put on to me. And like, she's a big enough star where that put on works, I guess. But like, in this case, I was like,

it's not there at all. Like with Richard gear, at least a little bit. Real quick, it's okay to like a movie. This is a beloved film. A lot of people love it. And I thought it was a, Happy Valentine's Day, by the way. Oh, yeah. Oh, guys, happy Valentine's. What did you get me? Chocolate. Oh, really?

Chocolate. I got you some chocolate. Oh, was that sand in there? That's right. The low-key thing, yeah, it's interesting, Steve, right? Because this is, you know, rom-com Julia Roberts and, like, other movies, Julia Roberts are kind of like the Denzel Washington and Gun Denzel situation.

You know what I mean? because like, you know, she's not like it's like the Pelican brief. No. You know. Exactly. This is a weird low-key thing. And I think what the direction was, was you hate

being up every second of the day. Like this is a woman that hates her celebrity. It's a cursed kind of a thing. So she's kind of playing, like this is how she plays you know, miserable and alone. Yeah. But it just does you're right. You're right. It does kind of come off as like

sleepy and tired. And I think that's just because we are just so used to the bombast of you know, that big laugh, which we'll only get a little bit in this movie and so on. You know what I mean? So it is kind of off-putting. It's clearly a choice unless she had mono. But it's clearly a choice

as to what she was doing. Turned out she was just really bored. I believe it. I've watched a movie. I believe it. We start with you, Grant. Well, we should say the Elvis Costello montage is excruciating.

And what are we even doing with that? Like, a guy got a tattoo that says, I love Ken. That's the problem, Mr. Hugh Grant. Oh, a woman getting her hair dyed blue. That's the problem, Hugh Grant. The Beavis and Butthead Chapel Doors. Yes. He calls that woman Cookie Monster.

He doesn't do. Oh, that's after the Jewels montage. Yes, that's, that's, that's. Yeah, him just narrating, he's like, oh, yes, my, my shitty little fucking neighborhood with all my shitty little fucking people in it. Boy, I love just living in this shitty trash-ass neighborhood.

All these whites are the wrong kind of whites. They should be my kind of whites that I want. God damn it. It is so weird to try to paint a picture through this narration. I know Love actually also tries to do this. Sure does. You're trying to make us sit down and

get into this setting. This narration is not the way to do it for me anyway. No. But no, we do open with the, it's the, it's the, it's the Elvis Costello song over like all of this Julia Roberts footage. Yeah. Of as Anne, whatever her name is. And Anna Scott. And some of this should be funny.

You know what I mean? Like, let's have a little bit of fun with what her fake career could look like. You know what I mean? Like, well, right. Yeah, but we're not doing that. It's all just licensed entertainment tonight footage. Exactly. And that's like, you're watching this opening.

And I was like, oh, no. they're all from the opening shot they're blurring the lines of this character and her they're doing the Ocean's 12 thing oh no oh god it's just you know she kind of looks like

you don't say yeah what but yes we're welcomed into Notting Hill but let me quickly say they do play with that celebrity a little later in the film because if you guys noticed Helix the science fiction space film gets her the Oscar

okay sure which is insane that's right yeah helix yeah the helix starring clark peters yes i wish i i wish i would love to watch clark peters at julia roberts in a movie with a young misha barton let's hear it is the little girl misha barton is that right yeah oh yeah oh shudder i just turned to his skeleton over here that was that was a big ear for her because she was also in what do you call it they're above of the shamelon, which is six cents. Oh, yeah. Misha Barton's in the Sixth Sense. She's the little girl goes.

The girl that gets like poisoned by her mom. Oh, geez. Wow. I am beyond overdue for a rewatch of that. You know, it's funny. I forget, we were doing some Shamalan. Maybe it was when we did The Village and I went back and I rewatched Unbreakable and then kind of went forward a little bit, but I didn't go back all the way to Sixth Sense. I don't know why.

Because now I think it's going on like. 10 years I've been going like, you know, I got to rewatch the Sixth Sense and just have not done it. It's a solid watch. But so, yes, we're welcome to Notting Hill by Hugh Grant. And he owns the travel bookstore. And he's super divorced, by the way. Oh, extra divorced. Like, she left me in the night kind of divorced.

For Harrison Ford lookalike. You know what? You tell me. there's a dude was left this woman left Hugh Grant for a guy that looks like Harrison Ford which like that's kind of just like

a fucking you know a lateral move I would argue a trade up and I would make that I would make that lateral move and I'm looking forward to oh yeah anytime point is you got to show me

that guy and because we're doing stupid stuff that guy is just Harrison Ford I guarantee you they had that in, like, the original of draft of this script was the, the divorced wife, the ex-wife was coming by occasionally being like, oh, do you have my aliboney?

And she's some like, Mike Lee nightmare. And then she shows up at one point in Harrison Ford's with her. And, like, that's it. Top of the morning to you. I'm British as well. You could be right, Chris, because this is apparently a famed three-hour initial cut before the studio. made them excise a full hour of a motion picture here.

But I feel like it was like maybe they sent that script to Harrison Ford and it was like, get out of my mailbox. I'm sure it was. And I mean if I had seen, if it was tough enough getting through these two hours and four minutes, if this thing had been three hours, I'm walking into the ocean.

I'm Dunkirkings. I'm going full off. Someone make that movie. You got to see this happen. So every time, this is something that Colist of Flokhart has talked about at nauseam, every time they're watching television and Harrison doesn't like what's on TV, he goes, get off

my TV and changes the channel and it's really annoying. She's like, I got it. I got it 20 years ago, too. It's funny every time, Harry. Shocked again, get off my TV. Get off my TV. Get off my TV. It's time for an Air Force One

legacy sequel. Oh, yes. He's just riding a plane and then it gets taken off. Or how about this? It's like he's meeting up. Oh, this is what you could do. This is what you could do. He's meeting up with a bunch of other fellow ex-presidents for the funeral of another ex-president.

And then, boom, some sort of terrorist attack. Let's say Gary Oldman's brother in this case. Sure. And then all the ex-presidents have to get into action. I love this. I would watch that. Absolutely. So since he's divorced, he bought this house in the very expensive Notting Hill neighborhood.

he's got to pay for it somehow so now he's got a flatmate played by resey fans which this welshman right here is the star of this movie oh yeah he's the only thing to watch like because he's having fun it's very sitcomy but i don't mind it because yes no i'll take this it needs it it does need it it it needs someone else in the mix i'll tell you what this movie did need those uh some hard-coded subtitles for risi fons here my god this accent was a little tricky at first it is it takes a little bit to get into it um he's uh risi fens he's in uh Nyad as well

Oh, who's he play? The boat? He plays like the weather navigator guy. It's like, oh, you know. Okay. But it's so funny because it's like, oh, wow, good for Reese Z fans. And then at the end of the movie, they show you they show you everybody who everybody was. And like this dude looks exactly like

they had no choice with the higher Reese Z fans. It looks exactly like him. Like, well, this, our real life weather navigator wasn't Welsh, but we gotta do it I don't know what to tell you it looks exactly like him I mean they you know that

they knew that he was the star of the show because if you watched the trailers for this movie he was at least 50% of it if not 75% of it and then they use literally the only good scenes with Julia Roberts and Hugh Grant to also pepper in like the scene where she's talking

about like waking up the Rita Hayworth line about waking up with the real Rita was the and the Gilda going to bed with Gilda waking up with reality. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But it's funny, Chris, because last time I was the only time I've ever seen this movie. And because of the trailers and just like 30 years of this movie, I literally thought,

I was like, there's a lot less, uh, Reese Feds that I would have thought there would have been. You know what I mean? Like, because there's all those other friends that are so fucking boring and like they, it goes like, I get it. Like you want to have some sense that he has a life outside of just this relationship. So I get it. But like, I just found that none of them. compelling. I will jump in front of the train here and see. I find the friends charming and I think

they're all relatively well cast because they all come off to me as legit long time friends. There's something about it in the mix. I don't know what worked for me about it, but I just, one of my takeaways this time was like, I like all of them. I like Hugh Bonneville quite a bit. He's funny. He's, he's a little bit of a scene stealer with some of his, I'm, a terrible stockbroker. I'm going to get fired. I am fired. They can roll with a burnt guinea fowl.

With the best of them, absolutely. So we meet, we go to Hugh Grant's bookstore. It's a travel bookstore, travel books only, which makes sense. No. No. I mean, in a world in 1999

when like you could have multiple bookstores and you should move this to the airport. You know, they do sell these at travel agencies. Like they just sell them, you could just go there and buy them. Well, no, but there's like, I feel like you're not, you could have specialty bookstores, whatever you're getting. Sure. That's funny.

A thousand years ago. What I'm saying though is like what they don't super specify is like there's travel books in the sense of like, I don't know, 101 places to visit when you go to Istanbul or you know, whatever. That kind of shit

that's specifically like tourist stuff. But then also the stuff that like I wish they kind of specified more because you could make the bookstore a little more interesting. Like, books about traveling and people chronicleing their adventures. Travelogs, et cetera.

Yeah, that kind of stuff, which I feel like he's trying to push her towards with one of those books, but like the vibe that you get from this movie because the movie is just like, this is a shitty store repeatedly, is like it's just filled with gift books about like Italy's best sandwiches.

But that's the funny thing. is she comes in and she picks up one of those big glossy books, you know what I mean, which is probably whatever, like 50 great meals to have in Turkey or whatever. And he's like, oh, you'd much rather this. And it's like a small like, you know, travelogue like kind of one color, like all text kind of a book like, Bordane style like probably. But that's not the same thing. Like she's looking for, she's looking for a coffee table book to get her friend who knows,

you know what I mean? Like, you know, he's just a pushy's like a bookstore owner at that point. I mean, that's, but, but, babe, walk. in. Well, he knows she's famous. He knows who she is. He plays it cool. But like, yeah, it would be funny if like

the heat. Well, yes, technically we do have the sun also rises because he is traveling there. You know, he's reporting what happened there, you know, technically. Oh, yes, and we actually, yes, we do have my travels with Charlie, the Dickens book. We thought it was pretty good.

Oh, and we have Dracula because he takes a boat. It was a true story, actually. They did do that. The lion, the witch, and the wardrobe. They travel through the wardrobe there. We had that in Britain for about a decade, the wardrobe there that we could go into. They'd be like, oh, hello, lion. This here is an expanded universe, Star Wars novel where they travel to a new planet.

But what I would have loved to see them do, because there is, I guess, the attempt here is to be a little, like, classical and, like, have no time markers, really, like, other than Beavis and Butthead and a certain, it's just a big one but like why doesn't he have like a burgeoning like online business where he like sells like used like old original travel books like 99 I think that's when that's starting

I think Amazon was starting it's too small and it's written by a dude who doesn't know anything about that of course that's not going to be but I don't think it's an of course thing I think it's just a matter of like he didn't want to do that

because that is a whole if you want me to pay attention to business, which is more than it should be in this movie already, like, I want to know a little bit about it and not just be like, oh, this guy's stealing from me. Oh, this guy wants a book. Fuck this guy for wanting a book. I mean, I agree with you about that. I just don't think we need like a subplot from You've Got Mail about the internet is killing my bookstore. I guess, no, what I'm saying is like, I wish he was like accepting that and was like doing orders because otherwise, I don't understand how you're keeping this book for. That's a great question. He seems thrilled

to light money on fire. Yes, we do also get Dylan Moran here L.O.L. The nerd from Sean of the Dead. Yes, who also had a BBC sitcom where he owned a bookstore, so it's kind of humorous that he's the book thief here. It's cheeky, isn't it? Is it?

I guess so. If you know black books, then yeah. That's the name of the show. Yes. Got it. Was it before this movie or after? I think it was definitely before. He sells Bibles or something. Started it or at least. Definitely started before

I don't know if it was Black Books is 2000 So there you go Oh wow really Oh maybe somebody that got him Yeah And they're like hey book thief guy Yeah

That guy looks good in a bookstore He sees He sees this guy Stealing a book And he goes And he's like It puts a book down his trousers And he's like well

If you'd like to remove That book from your trousers And wipe it off Wipe it off Life it off yeah You know this dude is like, especially when you get caught with a book down your trousers, you get a little P comes out, maybe like, ooh, oh, you know, you're just scared, a little startled. Yeah, like, I guess it's only because the store has to be on hard times that he would not like sacrifice that book.

I mean, the other thing, too, is to be like, you put it down your trousers, you've bought it, dude. Yeah, oh, yeah. Oh, it's like taking it into the bathroom. It's George time. Yeah, this book has been flat. Yeah, you can't be going back. I mean, they tell you straight out, he says we just had a big sales push and we're not. negative $347.

Like, this place is going under. And, like, to make me at least believe that it's not a, like, like, she has to buy it. At the end of this, like, she has to buy it outright. And that's the only way this thing is survived. He becomes a house husband, dude. He just, he gets saved. He turns into Adrian Pasdar in the Dixie Chick's documentary where he's just hanging out. That's the dream.

It is. That is the dream. What a fucking bull, Steve. I just, I know, I think about it all the time because Adrian Pazdar is like having a blast. It's like, yeah, I take the kids to wherever, man. Cool. I was on heroes that one time. You remember that or?

Take a drink, no. Oh, the guy from near dark? Yes. Oh, wow. In that Dixie Chicks documentary, he, it's even before heroes. So it's like real career nade dear. He has just her house husband. And it is my dream come true.

So that's, that's where, that's where Hugh fucking comes. in at the end, man. Yeah, I guess that's true, yeah. But it feels like he's like, he keeps this thing up. I don't think he's abandoning ship. Yeah, but so they kind of have a back and forth. She does buy the,

she buys, quote, with the wrong book and kind of leaves. She does kind of make some sexy remark about like, I couldn't fit that down my trousers. Oh, yeah. And I was like, you know what? Not too bad. And like, here it makes sense that she's very subdued and quiet

because she doesn't want to get noticed, right? You know what I mean? Like, yeah. She leaves, he's got this, of course, because we always need this. The hapless employee guy comes back. And this relationship here is really awkward. So it's like he goes out to get Hugh Grant a cappuccino. And I guess their whole thing is like they just playfully switch off who's getting who beverages the whole day.

That's, I guess, how you pass the time working at a dead bookstore, right? Because he's like, he just comes back with a cappuccino. She takes off and he's like, oh, right? Well, now what will you be drinking right now? And he's like, oh, I don't know how about a naughty little orange juice? Oh, we're going to live on the street, aren't we? Yes, we are. We're just going to spend all the money on cappuccinos and orange juices

until we're living underneath the bridges, aren't we, sir? So he picks up this orange juice, and as he's walking back, uh-oh, bumps right into her again. And annihilates her. Just cross-body checks this woman. Oh, my God. Yeah, an OJ explosion. We haven't had this much of an OJ explosion since a few years before the film came out.

94 or so is that? Uh-huh. The juice is loose. Apologies. Not in a double murderer sort of way. In a more of an orange juice spilling on you sort of way. Sorry. Uh-huh. It's going loose all down your blouse, you see. Oh, ah, hoo-ha. I could have almost beheaded you. Oh, no. Why am I thinking about this?

Oh, my, oh, my. Oh, I'll go fetch a white bronco, I will. We'll run away from this orange juice covered shirt together. You know, I could give you a shirt at my own home, but, you know, if it doesn't fit, you must to quit. Judge, Judge, eat her and jury. Oh, do you have a, do you have a restaurant friend that I should also put a little juice on him a little bit?

A little restaurant friend. Oh, man. See, I couldn't possibly be wearing the orange juice gloves. that couldn't fit, you see? But so in a thing that like could only happen in a movie he's like, you want to come

back to my apartment and clean up and she's like, yeah, all right, that sounds like a safe idea. And it's your classic you know, oh, the house is a mess. It's exactly what the dude writes in love actually. Yeah. Same writer. I don't know if we mentioned

Richard Curtis, yeah. Oh, yeah. criminal. It's another like, oh, my pig, my pig style of a flat. And he like runs right. And I got to say, this is disgusting. I mean, it's like fucking domino's boxes everywhere. It is disgusting.

And I'm telling you, he's trying to throw this all on Spike. No, no, no, no, no. Yeah, this is a two-party system on this one. This place is fucking disgusting. You're both in that canoe, dude. You're both rowing it. That's how it's got to go. It's got to smell.

Oh, my God. At a certain point, yes. Like, yeah, like, hey, who. didn't do the dishes this week or whatever. But the food garbage that is everywhere, that's on everybody. The odor, she would barf walking into this place. Especially, you know

this Spike fellow is operating a goon cave in the back. Oh, absolutely. Oh, yeah, dude. No doubt about it. He's always in his wee knickers. Are you kidding me? There's a fucking litter of garbage pale kids living under the sink probably. Well,

to be fair, that is where you keep garbage pale kids. You don't want them getting out in the sun. Excuse me, is there a child underneath there? Oh, it's okay. It's just a garbage pill kid. Oh, okay. They live in garbage. That's okay. You're right, though. The whole leaving food out, that is a bit too far for me. You know, you don't get all the dishes into the dishwasher there that night. All right. As long as there's a healthy rinse, that's okay.

But like the food still on the plate, still on the table. My God, this is chaos. There was like cereal that is calcified into sludge. you can have that argument with your roommate I'm like no that's your orange juice that's my whatever but like once it's like there's a smell and like food is just rotting in the open

you've just got to throw it away you know what I mean and then be like man my shit hill roommate sucks I can't wait to get rid of him that's like you know one time I was living with roommates and we walked home and this dude had not cleaned his cat's litter box and we were like we were trying to watch Lost and we were choking on it

and so Chelsea Brave cleaned it all out. And then I was like, hey, dude, like when he got home, I was like, the place smelled like fucking shit. That is exclusively your cat. Come on now. Come on. Come on. You want me to throw it out? I'll throw it out. The litter? Yeah. That's what I meant. Sure, that works. The litter. So she goes into the bathroom to freshen up, get that OJ off of her. And she's turned on because of that mess, like this borderline hoarder house, and she's used to prim and proper and nice things. Oh, my God, it's so filthy.

It's a wee bit naughty, yeah. Do you listen to New Metal? Please tell me. I've heard all this Brit Pop for so long. Tell me you like New Metal. She could date us then, huh? The Americans are doing with New Metal. It's wondrous.

Chung, chukka, chud, chun. I love the chunky guitars, you see. I'm a big fan of the chamber of coal. I think it's fantastic. What was this lyric? Ooh, uh, ah, ah, it goes? Yes, I would also like to get downward with the sickness. So, you know, whatever, they have this little convo, like after she cleans off or whatever, he has the line,

nice to meet you, it's surreal, but nice. And she fucking leaves, and then he's, you know, kicking himself over that bad line. which it's a bad line. Sure. And then in a real brain teaser move, this woman comes back and kisses this guy. I mean, I think of it is,

he looks like Hugh Grant. So there, there it is. That's true. There's your answer. Like, you know what I mean? Like,

which also should, if he does look like you, if the movie is telling you he looks like you grand and he actually does in the movie, he should have like dates all the time. Do you know what I mean? Oh, yeah. Right.

We do get a dating montage. Yes, it's true. Yeah. I got, no, the timeline. I don't know exactly when Harrison Ford broke up his marriage or whatever so maybe he's given it a rest

get off my dame I think they say it's something like maybe close to a year or something that sounds right I think be out there by then come on oh yeah of course give me a break fucking Emily Mortimer's would be throwing themselves at him I should say actually

the first time she tries to leave she's like it's been great and she goes to the door, and this happens because it's a real thing. She has no idea how to open it because there's no fucking door knob anywhere to be fucking found. It's crazy. It's like, oh no, this weird

latch that I have to figure out. Well, no, it's by mental telepathy over there. You just, you, you touch your head a little bit and the door swings open. Oh, bugger, you can't, you can't figure out that door knob, can you? Well, looks like you're stuck here. Bugger indeed. Oh, yes,

and in the bathroom, we only have the three C-shed as well. That would be funny if they just had to see shells on the door and that was just how you had to do it. Figure that shit out.

Someone will have to sit me down and explain to me what their problem is with doorknobs. I think it's a great system we have here. You know exactly

where it is. Well, that's the American ingenuity is putting it where it should fucking be and not in the middle of the door. That's just, you know.

Yeah, American ingenuity putting it where it should be. No shit. Steve, you were just in Paris recently. Do they have doorknobes?

There was mostly doorknobs? Do you think that's the America rebuilding after the war? GIs just put up doors, regular style. When Lafayette came back, he was just like, oh no, the doorknobs are everywhere. The new doorknob style is in the center. There is a good Reesey Funn's moment here, like after the kiss, where he comes in

and doesn't really even notice her. he's got like a stack of something in front of his face and he's smoking and he's like, oh, I got a story got to tell you a story that'll shrink your balls to raisins. Just right in front of this woman. He's a dude that's like, you know,

trying to get laid a lot. There's a funny bit about him what t-shirt to wear to his date. The first t-shirt candidate, not one for a date, obviously, but something for like the opening night of a horror movie. multiplex or like a Halloween costume

or a ChillerCon, this fucking t-shirt it says, I love blood, and then has an actual plastic model of the alien chestburster coming out of it? That's pretty sweet. All three of the shirts he tries on. You can only wear these on a date to a sure thing. It cannot be one where

it cannot be on the fence. You've already been like talking like sexy talk to each other beforehand. And this is just this is a date before you go home and have the sex you've been telling each other that you're going to have. He does have the good button on that because it's like it's two t-shirts that are shitty

and then the third one he comes down and says you're the most beautiful woman in the world and Hugh Grant's like, oh actually yeah wear that one on the date. That looks good and he's like, right, got it. And he turns around and it says fancy a fuck on the back. This dude is all boardwalk t-shirts. But also if you wore that to a date

with like an office manager you met on the subway, like, they'd be like, what the fuck? Get the fuck out of here, please. No, I know it's, it's not an appropriate shirt for a date. I just think it's an amusing shirt. I just kind of, I wish we had seen who he's dating. It's total trash. I mean, he's total trash.

What do you think, you know? That's why I wonder. Well, he does, you know, eventually end up with the sister. Nice, nicely gets with the crazy sister. Well, we'll get to that shit when we get them. My fucking God. But they, you know, so like, they have a meat cute. She kisses him.

He's like, holy shit. That's crazy, which is also, it is sort of like a deranged thing to do, but she's like, whatever, having fun with it. And long story short, you know, like the next couple days passed. He's like, dreamy about it. And the funny bit is that Risi fans has not given him a message for days from her, which is kind of funny. I feel like the unreliable roommate not giving the phone message is something that was already done into the ground in like 19,

90. Oh, yeah. 91, you know, the height of answering machines power. You're already running on invisible money, clearly. So why not use that invisible money to buy yourself an answering machine? Because that, I mean, like, clearly it's not going to be, this is not the first time this guy has bungled a message for you. Exactly.

Don't tell me that shit. But an answering machine is not going to help if he picks up the fucking phone. That's the problem. That's true. Yep. I suppose that's true. You know what, Spike? Here's the deal, dude.

Yes. I'm a call screener. this is a call screening house I don't care if you're home you screen it dude you screen your own calls here what if it's some you know psycho that you hooked up with you don't want to hear from again screen the call spike then you risk the

you know filling up that tape well it's huge that's true Hugh Grant's got to learn that the way you know the way out is through you have to tell Reese if and Spike has to be like you have to be more lazy when the phone's ringing don't don't touch it keep reading

your porn mag and your in your in your goggles or whatever you're fucking doing. What if it's a lady that fancies a fuck? Oh, I guess that's fair. Yeah, that you would want to get that one. Yeah. But you could screen, as Andrew's saying, you could screen it and then you find. Um, so he, after

some, you know, nudging is like, oh, well, yes, she's at uh, you know, this hotel, but I don't remember the fake name that she gave, blah, blah, blah. And then he instantly in that moment, because we got to get the movie going here is like,

Oh, why don't you try Flintstone? And indeed, Flintstone is the fake name she gave to the hotel because she always gives cartoon characters as fake names she says later on. Now, did you guys hear something? I don't know if something was wacky going on with my AV set up at home or what the deal was, but when he calls her... I know what you're going to say. Is she completely inaudible on the other end of the phone?

And the subtitles were saying dialogue that wasn't there. Oh, yeah, yeah. I don't have subtitles, but you don't hear her part of the phone. call. No, but it sounds, maybe you were supposed to, fucking stuff like Amazon, they don't actually do any quality control. The captions had words that were not the right words. It's just a fucking wreck over there. I thought I was, I was going crazy dude, because he's like, he's on the phone and it's like, yes, I'm sorry, my roommate, you know, he buggered the message, blah, blah, blah, blah. And like, the subtitles were coming up, like, dialogue from her. Interesting.

shit like I thought you weren't going to call or whatever and I'm like I thought I was going crazy I was like is she not speaking is my TV broken like what is happening right now I have no idea how that happened I mean for all I know they took out that dialogue and it was supposed to be one-sided yet somehow ended up in captions

how does this happen I don't know I'm just imagining Amazon or whoever screwed up at least I will say the timing on the subtitle file was still accurate because dude that's Paramount Plus there's subtitles. Like I watch Star Trek episodes on Paramount Plus for the Nexus.

And like the subtitles will start lagging behind the dialogue. Oh yeah. And then the delay becomes so insane. I don't know what the laws are now. But I know, I know like there was a law passed like 97 or something that everything made after 97 needs proper close captioning. But I think it only extends to actual television broadcasts.

I'm not sure if they've updated that for streaming yet. So it's kind of a Wild West. I mean, and it doesn't Well, they can do it and it doesn't have to be good It could just be fucking gibberish as half of this is. It should be a selling point for your service to offer actual stuff for the hearing impaired. You know what I mean?

Oh, yeah, of course. Especially since I just had to agree to pay fucking $2.99 more a month for these fucking terrorists not to put commercials in my prime shit, which I already pay $100 a year. Thanks for nothing, Bezos, you bald fuck. I bumped up to

because I did not. So many of the stuff that we watch for the show is what do you call is I watch on Amazon and honestly

every minute counts you know what I mean like every every minute if I'm watching fucking two hours and four minutes of Notting Hill

and I'm looking that's staring me down all week it cannot turn it to 230 you know what it cannot I understand what

you're saying but at the same time watching this movie I'm like oh man I wish I had of telephone, you know, like an iPhone commercial or something to watch. Yeah, what are you like rushing to watch

a lifetime movie after this? I'm just looking to get on with my life. Exactly. I got the shit going on, dude. But I will say, I'll speak of sound and sound design and all that stuff, I don't know what it is. Because we're wherever we are in the movie right now, you know, we're about 40 minutes in the episode.

It is excruciating to watch this movie because there's no score. It's like no country for old. men for some reason. Yeah. Like there's just, it's just, I'm listening to the fucking little, the fucking cicadas or something. I don't understand what, and it's all pauses.

Yeah. It's totally dead silent in all these apartments. And it is chilling. And I don't understand why that is. Oh, I'll tell you exactly why. Please. And because I was feeling it last night, I was like, why? Because usually when I hear this many pop songs, I'm annoyed as shit.

Because I'm just like, you're just spending time. You're just trying to get through it. The, the, the pop songs in this movie, do pop. They do. They all pop. And I think it's because there's no other music. They starve you and then they give you like these huge pop songs. And all of a sudden you're like, oh, like, oh, Al Green, are you serious? Absolutely. That Al Green song is fucking great. I'll say, I don't know. I didn't notice either way, Steve. That's

pretty funny. I do remember like the pop music drops. I'm looking on IMDB. There is a fella by the name of Trevor Jones who is credited as having original music by I'm sure there's some original music but I'm telling you in the big seeds in most of these scenes it is just fucking the silent hiss of room room noise my god maybe the uh the M&E track that was supposed to be pulled to have the music and her phone call was just removed oh shit that could be I mean this guy too honestly this is it's very strange pretty accomplished composer last of the Mohegan's dark city cliffhanger I fucking took a break on this one, huh?

No, it's a rest, dude, because he composes music, you see. It's a rest. That's very funny. It's a music joke. Have you ever wondered, what's the use of the travel book? If it led you to Notting Hill. Oh, shit. Don't put that travel book down your trousers.

The Arnold cameoed around the world in 80 days. League of Extraordinary Gentlemen. LXG, love that. Crossroads from hell. this dude worked what a great composer what also is chilling is this video fest

they have where he's watching all of her movies like some weird obsessive stalker this one we only see Gramercy Park the Matthew Modine picture

video fest implies more than one you're right Recy Fonts does say you want a video fest tonight but I'm only seeing one so I'm assuming

they're just rewatching this shitty Matthew Modin movie over and over Matthew Modin by the way it's a black and white movie it seems like a romantic drama or romantic comedy or whatever he is dressed like he's in the taking

of Pellum 1, 2, 3, the original. I don't know what this hat's doing. The hat mustache was also distracted. I mean, so you know, on the phone call what we do not hear her say I guess in some instances is hey, why don't you come or maybe he

says it like oh yes, to you at the Ritz sounds great blah blah blah. So he hoops it over to the Ritz and it's kind of a fake out because you realize he's walked into a press junket situation where he's forced to pretend that he's a film critic and that's the opportunity he's going to get to speak with her.

Hand up in the back here. Why? Did she do this? Because she's an asshole. You're totally right, dude. She's an asshole. You're totally right, dude. She's an asshole, this entire fucking movie. She does say at some point when he finally meets her after being humiliated, she does say like, oh, I thought it'd be over by now. No, fuck off. This is, This is a humiliating thing to put this to true. Here's the thing. You're totally right.

And it's a power move. A huge power. Absolutely. Yes. Well, also, though, what I feel is going on here, and it's a bad script, so you're missing details. But, like, if you think about, like, the status of the celebrity that she is, right? I think part of it was she's all concerned about, like, the tabloids and yada, yada.

She needs some line that's like, I'm sorry we had to do it this way. I thought it was going to be over by now. I couldn't have people think. there was a gentleman caller if that gets out yada yada yada but i feel like she's not saying that only because they're saving the surprise such as it is that she does have a boyfriend for later in the movie so she's being like the character is forced to be disingenuous in this moment because the screenplay is demanding this shocking twist later in the film we only have so many things to write about here folks like let's not get out of our zones here i mean that's like to me it's

just like you're putting this off for the surprise and like you give me nothing in exchange like I guess you're supposed to be laughing. There's comedy here Chris. I get the horse and hound magazine. Oh yes. I'm not saying it you have to you have to enjoy it but it

technically is a joke right? I mean it is kind of funny that he says shit like you know why can't you put horses in the movie because it's set in space like him not knowing what the movie is the funny thing is though again because this is just like psycho rom-com stuff The real world solution is he gets in the room, the door closes.

Jules turns to this other dude who's like the manager or whatever and just goes, hey, Marty, this guy's just here to see me for a minute. I had to sneak him up here. Sorry, but I am the celebrity here, by the way. And you're just the fucking manager. So deal with it. I'm going to take five minutes and talk. That's how it should be.

Yeah. This is just totally bizarre behavior on her report. I guess the thing is that like I just, this is part of me, I guess not understanding the young Hugh Grant appeal, because I guess what you're saying about the horses in space joke, it is supposed to be funny, but because of the way he delivers a joke, like, oh,

do you think there should be horses in space? Well, yeah, you want the character at least to be like hip to what's going on. I guess I'm supposed to find this like inability charming, but I'm just like...

This is kind of like a British show, but he's doing like an Alan Partridge right now. I know, but Alan Partridge is so much better. My God. Because he's a comedian. Exactly. But to me, this just doesn't come across as humor. It's just like, oh, this pathetic guy cannot get it together for this impossible situation.

Yeah. Well, I mean, that was the thing in the 90s, dude. People loved Hugh Grant doing this shit. Sputtering. To the tune of over $360 million worldwide at the box office. Oh, other horses, this is the sizzle of the fucking room noise. In space. Like, give me a little peony or something.

Exactly. Like, pep it up a touch, just a touch. Even give us that bullshit curber enthusiasm. Exactly. Do you, boop, bo, bo, bo, bo. Do you have any idea how crazy you are talking about horses in space? You don't have to do this right now. You don't have to do this right now.

But then the jokes continue when he's brought out to meet with all the other cast members this is i mean i'm sorry dude just leave she even said she even said he's like oh do you want to do something after she's like oh no i can't i'm busy that's the end of that thanks for the flowers he leaves and then this other woman is just like oh but then you have

all of the other people to meet yeah i just be like no i gotta take a shit sorry or you know it's just like oh you know what for horse and hound magazine we only cared about anna i gotta go you know i don't give a shit about Clark Peters or the dude, although the joke of the guy speaking Spanish is pretty great. Like, it's through the translator. And again, he's asking like questions and he doesn't know what the movie's about. And he's like, oh, were you able to relate to your character?

And the guy says, no. And he says, why not? The woman translating goes, because he's playing a flesh eating robot or something like that, which is pretty funny. She will go on to win the Academy Award for Best Actress for the movie with the flesh eating robot. Yeah. A little bit a week year, dude. Yeah. A bit of a week year. No, no, this is actually a good thing.

I want this. I want there to be a flesh-heating robot movie that sweeps the Oscars. Yeah, I guess like what, Stanley Donan's Saturn 3 upsets and wins the Oscar. Man, that piece of shit, I don't think so. I hope not. I would hope not. But yeah, apparently it does win. But absolutely, I just think, like, get out of here. And, like, you set up this assistant as, like, someone Julia Roberts can relate to. and she can't say like hey

this guy I know this guy like can you get him out of here after this? Like she's been taken hostage by her own life or she's got no fight or will to live or she's just enjoying what she does not care for this man's time whatsoever that's what we're talking about here doesn't even go through her fucking head

he does because that's what happens when you're a celebrity Eric is that you really have no control of your life anymore and it's so hard it's so so hard maybe since all he's doing is drinking coffees and dropping orange juice and working at that store that no one's in. I mean, waste his time. Why not? Yeah, actually, yeah, fine. Fuck him. So, you know, like, like you would in a situation like this, right? It's like, oh, actually,

I can hang out. Oh, cool. Oh, wait, I have something tonight. Actually, here's a long shot. Do you want to come to my sister's birthday party? Oh, God. Absolutely not. Excuse me. Oh, God. I got to calm myself down. Is her place filthy too? Oh, because I really, I need to smell some trash. Oh, my God. How many domino's boxes does she have on the floor? I mean, sister's birthday, anything can happen. It's like, here's our first date. Oh, you want to meet me, mum? Me, my mom and pops or whatever. Well, yeah, exactly, dude. What is the parent situation? Also, something I don't, we sort of don't really get it. There's one bad joke about

his mother calls on the phone and is complaining about a health ailment or whatever. but you're right like where what's going on with the rest of the family that's apparently deleted scenes you see it in the trailer in the trailer you see because they make a joke

about him possibly dating Fergie oh man it was 1999 wow yeah the year after that you couldn't make that joke anymore but yeah so we go to this

this little it's a you know it's not really a party it's a nice little dinner birthday dinner at the house. I do like this because it is, this is thinking cheap. This is like Dave Chappelle and half big. Yes. Trying to

split a fucking five bucks to make a day work. Uh, like, because I wish I saw more of that from him, honestly, because he's making no money and he has the date of celebrity. But this is a good cure, a good solution to the problem is he just takes her to the sister's birthday where his friend

Max is burning some a guinea foul. Yeah. I guess it makes sense. And, you know, I think it's a little presumptuous to go right to meeting family members, but you don't want to be in public. So having having friends cook, it makes kind of sense, yeah. Can I

tell you guys the what I did actually have a celebrity siting in London? It felt very not, it was funny because I felt not like, did you fuck them? I did not fuck them. So that is. You spilled orange juice all over Mr. Bean. When I tell you I wish both of those, the fucking and the bean. You got proper buggered, didn't you? Did you get buggered by

Mark Lynn? Eddie. Oh, I wish. Uh, no, I saw Robert Pattinson when he was dating FK. Twigs. They were at the same restaurant as we were at. Uh, did you bugger them? I did not bugger them. I, I, I, I was like, you know what? I, I just see them. Like, oh, that's funny. And what about any shagging, dude? No shagging. Uh, at least. Did you start loudly talking about how actors are prostitutes? I did not. I didn't give them the Goddard bit. I did not. Uh, there. you go. So, well, you know, that's, you get a look at what our paths had on

the table there? Uh, I, no, he was, it was sharing. It was a family thing. Uh, it would have been really funny if he just got a huge, like, Brontosaurus ribs, like, from the Flintstone or something. Well, it was funny, because uh, Sof is a huge FK, uh, Twigs fan. And she was like, should I say something to him? Like, absolutely fucking not. Oh, no way. You can't be doing that.

Do not do that. She's like, oh, yeah, you're, you're, you mustn't approach. Mustn't approach. There's like security everywhere. dude should be formerly known as a live. Yes. What, what genre restaurant? What type of cuisine was this? Uh, KFC. Yes, it was a sit down KFC. Go, please sit down.

Where does you get these 12 herbs and spices? It's the original from the colonies. That kind of was quite a genius. We'll be doubling down, don't you see? Uh, this is, this is the double down. The bacon is from Homanshire.

Yes. So, you know, whatever, they show up to the house. I do, like, the woman answers the door. Oh, holy fuck, which is the sister there, honey. Sisters are a total train wreck. He got Hugh Bonneville playing Bernie, as we mentioned. Of course, Lord Grantham himself from Downton Abbey later. He's a dude that, like, he's looking way young in this movie,

and, like, I predominantly know him as Lord Grantham. And, like, I have to say, he's a more handsome dude as he got older. This baby face Lord Grantham is kind of unsettling. takes a while also because he's I mean he's playing both I mean I mean not just a financial loser but like a really a loser at heart like just a real all around loser yeah it's really

sad it's so like yeah the difference is huge but also he's got no fucking social graces whatsoever because he does not recognize Anna immediately so he's just kind of like having this conversation and so I work in the stock market blah blah blah what do you do oh I'm an actress oh that's great

I used to do some acting in college yada yada yada oh I work in films oh, that's great. What do you get paid? The money in films is supposed to be great. What did you make for your last movie? He says this woman. Like, get the fuck out of my checkbook, asshole. No, dude, he's just a, he's a, a millennial now. Everybody's just, you got to talk about what you're making.

Yeah, that's an absolutely fucking not, by the way. I don't know where those people got that from. That's a way to instantly get everyone around you to resent you or pity you. It's a bad move. Either way, like, even if you're coming out on top of that equation, you shouldn't be talking about it. I'm an old man. I don't, I don't discuss what I make. It just, it's, it's, it, it dies with me. Uh, because I mean, you know, you're either feeling shitty about it because of someone else or you're making someone else feel shitty because of you. It's not worth it, folks. And in this instance, it's hugely inappropriate. She says $15 million.

She's, I guess she's ready to big dick everybody. Any chance she gets. Any chance she gets. I'd be big dick in this guy too, man. You don't ask people that shit. Sure. Uh, we also get. Uh, uh, we also get. Gina McKee as a woman in a wheelchair, like his ex-girlfriend who's married to the guy that's cooking. And you know what, Richard Curtis, just don't. If you're going to, if

this is the way you write someone in a wheelchair, just don't have someone in a wheelchair at all. How about that? I mean, do you wish, but he's going to do it anyway? Because he's got a milk sentiment from any fucking corner he can get. That's what he does. Why can't you just be like you and me having a good time in this apartment? But no,

eventually she's so sad because She can't have kids. And then later in the movie, which I love, is when, like, everything's going tits up for you, Grant, and Julia Roberts, he just instantly is like, but what about my friend Helen in a wheelchair? Her life is miserable. You can't say the paparazzi is worse than that.

Yes. You're just throwing that. But they are, Stephen, aren't they? They're just monsters. Oh, let me just wheel my disabled friend right in front of you to some type of cudgel in this conversation. I'm going to win because my friend's disabled Hello ha ha ha

Well that's Have you heard of a dead guy There was a dead guy once His life is pretty rotten because he's dead Everything is so miserable in this Yeah like and I guess that's like The tone they're going for But like I find it shocking

That because they bring up this friend Tony And like literally the only reason They bring him up is to be like Tony has a restaurant Two hours goes by Tony's restaurant failed He's going away now. He's sunk all of his money into it, and he's going away. My travel bookstore is doing fine, but the restaurant fucked up.

That's got to be a scene's deleted because you see him in the beginning and he's like weighing fish or something. And then at the end, this is out. Dude, I mean, first of all, I don't remember him weighing fish at the beginning of this movie. Second of all, I don't remember his restaurant being mentioned at the beginning of this movie. Get to him at the end where they're in this closed restaurant or whatever. in the process of closing, I was like, the fuck is this guy? Who the fuck is Tony? And I agree.

It's a weird thing. But yeah. We should say also the reason why at this dinner party, she gets into the incredibly abysmal, like, I fell and had an accident and now I'm paralyzed. And now, also I can't have kids and also I had to quit smoking. Like that stuff. It's all in

this dinner party game of who's got the worst life. Who wants the brownie? It's, it's, first of all. favorite show who wants the brownie also does that have pot in it if not anyone else could have the brownie it's fine you know what i mean it's 99 we're not playing that game quite especially with like this audience i don't think they're doing it uh but so whatever and like yeah the game is you know who has the worst life gets the brownie and like julia roberts plays for a second she's like

basically like yeah i have i i've been on a diet my whole life which means i have an eating disorder l-o-l and it's like that's uncomfortable and then she's like yeah and my last boyfriend kind hit me. Can I have the brownie? And I'm like I didn't want to know any of that. And then it's like a little pause. It's like nice try gorgeous. Yes. I love that with your eat shit you and your problems. Oh, a few smacks. I mean I was so happy when that because I was like if they give her the brownie too, I'm going to fucking lose it. If this movie started with the she montage and now she

also gets the brownie. I love that you're defensive over who gets the brownie. I'm a little pissed. I was I was like it better go to Bella. I think it should go to Bella, honestly, my feeling. But then she's always getting the brownie. Well, that's not, not to be too rude, but Bella shouldn't be allowed to play. She's always getting the brownie with her sob stories and all. It's like she's using a game, Jeannie'sy, isn't it? Get the peep show boys into play these characters.

She's using a dessert genie every time we're playing who gets the last brownie. I mean, or if she is, she can only talk about stuff from. today, not, you know, the accident. Also, Steve, we're sick of the accident. I think you're totally right about the pop brownie thing because, like, just a plain old brownie, if you really want more, go to the store. Because I've never in my life, I mean, I don't like a good brownie from time to time, weed or otherwise, but like, I've never been like, whoa, I got to get this brownie

I guess it's just a game for people to play. We're equating it with pot because we're drug addicts. No, but they do actually have a thing where it's like, oh, her brownies are the best, blah, blah, blah. That's what incites the whole thing. Like, uh-oh, there's only one piece of the amazing brownie recipe. But so they leave and now they're walking in the street. And then she just goes, hey, so your friend Bella, how'd she wind up in that chair? Yeah, rude.

Nice question, dude. Yeah. Oh, she's terrible. I was glad when he was like, fuck off. Sawed off at the end. I agree. But yeah, he explains it. But I would beg her to take me back to.

But anyway, go ahead. They wind up finding a closed public park. And, you know. It's specifically not a public park. Oh, it's not a public park. It's for the people who live in the surrounding houses for it. That's why they're in one at the end of the movie. So they can hide from people.

Right. Like down in Manhattan, some neighborhoods like Gramer C, it's like, Oh, this is only for the rich. Yes. Yep. Yep. No, that's, I think that's exactly what this is supposed to be. She rightfully, though, as they're trying to climb this gate into this thing, is making fun of him for, honestly, you know, using the word whoopsie daisy. It's not like he's, like, trying to be funny about it. Like, he slips on the gate and literally says whoopsie daisy and she starts laying into him, which I think is pretty funny. That's a common word over there, a double word.

Is that two? That's two words, yes. Well, the bad subtitle track I had said Whipsy Daisy is one word. I don't know if that's true. In the King's English, it's one word. You definitely get a couple bollocksed. The bollocks that up. I heard of a few of those.

Well, he looks like he's going to pierce his bollocks on this fucking fence. The way he's, it's one of those things you don't want to do slowly. You want to do it pretty quickly. You know what I mean? What burst your nuts act? Get up over the spiky iron rut fence. Just like Fight Club, baby. I don't know about doing. Deliberation is not your friend in that situation.

You're asking for like a double circumcision if you do it too quickly. You know, you want to be a little careful. Well, if you're doing it, but if you're going to do it, I do, I want it to be like the bag of fat and fight club. Oh, no. Oh, my God. Do you think Hugh Grant is circumcised or not? Maybe not. Definitely is.

I mean, when we interview him, we should ask him that the first. That should be the first one out the gate. The readers of horse and hound would like to know. Does he show some peen and, um, what's that movie? Lair of the white worm? Maybe. Possibly. I forget.

Paddington, too. Does he show his dick in that? I'm going to search you Grant penis. Let's see what comes up. Maybe an awfully large adventure or whatever the fuck. I don't know why they don't know. They should know by now I want that safe search off. You got to get incognito mode on at least though, man.

Oh, wait. I'm reading up. I didn't incognito. I'm reading it right now, uh, Eric. He is going to show penis. finally in Paddington in Peru. Okay. Oh, good. The third Paddington film that is going to happen

finally. Does it waste his dick wears a raincoat and shit? It's a lot of mamelade. I cannot find his I can't find him. Well, maybe not then. All right. Maybe. Maybe. They go to, they get this park. They start making out. Implied

Hey, Jay, I think. Because you know what I mean? Like we just I think so. Yes. Especially because of what's going on here. Because it's very weird, this fucking crane shot. Yes. This is bad. Like I think Roger Michel rest in peace directed some good movies. I think he was a talented director. I don't

know what this is where it's, it's almost like very theatrical in a way. Like she sits down and he's, you know, she says like, oh, nice bench or something. The camera takes this huge crane ride up over the park and then he starts literally walking away from this woman. I'm like, dude,

here is a huge A-list, beautiful celebrity woman here. sitting down on a bench with you in this private park under the cover of night and you're walking away well it's because we're going into i think a montage of their early dating yes it's the first of a couple of these where we start seeing and this also i think is the bench that they're are they're at at the end possibly there's a there's something there's a cute thing on them on the

on the inscription on the bench about you know this is dedicated to whomever because my my lovely wife who I would never be without or something something this is us seeing the future of what if our relationship works and they're smart I'll tell you this they're smart in this sense they get the montage going

and right as they're coming out of it you get to finally see some Hugh Grandfather which is pretty good he's looking pretty good without the shirt off I got to say well this is I mean the only thing that I thought was sort of montagee because this is when they go to the movie. Yes.

And he's got to wear the prescription snorkel mask because he can't find his glasses. Yeah. And you just have this like tracking shot over. We're like panning. And it's like your classic like movie theater audience rose shot. And then it's her. And then it's him watching the movie

with the snorkel glass on and ha, ha, ha. But then if this is a montage, it ends up at the Japanese restaurant for the dinner, which I think in the credits it said, this was a nobu in London. that uh they get to they get this dinner and these guys in the room next door are like just screaming their heads off about what high profile actresses they want to violently fuck and it's like who in there like and these guys are like in business men they're in like 30s and 40s yeah

who acts like this like douchebags rich it's not even like oh man did you see the new FHM with I don't even fucking you know whomever Megan Fox on it oh boy it's just like

these are like high like oh man who would you rather fuck Sissy SpaceX or Meryl Street I write on rail Sissy SpaceX

it's like I don't know dude she's got like an Oscar like leaving alone yeah you can't be you can't be rail and Oscar winners not on my watch

it does it does seem a little weird that it's Julia Roberts like yeah talking about like a playboy centerfold of Cape Blanchet that you saw or something. Because they're like too high class. They're like Anna Scott or oh that big

Ryan always have an orgasm. Are you jerking off to what Harry met Sally? Really? He's like having orgasms. It was fake. Guys she's faking it. Oh my god. That is that part is really weird because it's just like why would this dude

be referencing an almost 10 year old movie at this point? Actually yeah 10 years exactly when movies came out. But like yeah it's a weird like what does he say it's like she's always having orgasms whenever she eats and i'm like it kind of sounds like you didn't see the movie last weekend i was home alone and the wife took my rotten kids away for the weekend went to the video store i did have a little movie marathon little little tape aramma there put on when a man loves a woman started jerking off

i just don't understand oh man last night i was all just shitless list and that tart and Beth David shows up and I got a stiffy idea it's like I don't know dude like these are serious actors I was more hard up than everyone in the picture I was watching ordinary people and Mary Tyler Moore

so grief stricken in that movie I started jerking off yeah I bought the laser discs of Salo and I couldn't jerk off I gotta tell you it was a real problem it was pretty disgusting what was happening to those boys it was pretty disgusting Requiem for a dream work for me though

Honestly that Jennifer Cardley Oh boy It had him saying arse to arse Yes exactly I just I don't know a human being They would act this way but sure And I mean like yes obviously like women are Demeemed for their both

Especially actresses high profile Or otherwise demean for their bodies etc But these gentlemen don't exist I would argue they 100% exist I don't know if they exist in the same space as these people. They do seem, I guess, maybe from a different movie. I don't know. They do have also the British slang that we got a lot of also in love actually,

which is they keep saying that Anna's gagging for it. Oh, we do. Is she gagging for it? Like Mission Impossible 2? Yes, exactly. So, you know, he's getting pissed off because they're both overhearing it and she's getting upset. So is he.

And he goes over. And like, this is where he's got to kind of not be Hugh Grant. He's just Hugh Grant's all over this and fucks it up. And she's got to be the fucking cleanup crew. One guy's got a good line. What are you, dad?

I mean, I do. I like that. I do like that she cleans it up. I think that's like, what are the better scenes. I mean, but also.

I bet you guys have peanut size dicks. Enjoy the tuna. Yeah. That's nice. Listen, right, I'm going to sit here and jerk off Talk about how hot Kate Blanchett is And notes on a scandal, all right? That's what I'm going to do

And my buddy over there is going to argue Because I know he is that Judy Dentures harder in that movie And I'm going to go, we're going to go back and forth I was watching the movie And I was the whole time waiting for that threesome body To get Judy in there with Kate and the husband there Oh yeah, and just have a love fest I was coming all over the place

I took my peanut out you know they're jerking off over getting yelled at by her too oh for sure a big time oh yeah but you like you blimey liked my peanut didn't you tell me I've got a small willy tell me it is blah tell me my peanuts a little bit salty is blind me them or is that Australia I think it could go both ways I think crikey is the translation down there I don't know if any of that's accurate it's all right they owned Australia for a little bit they could have stolen us we're all

products of the empire yeah so they could take a little bit so here you go holy fucking 1999 Alec Baldwin in this movie oh man god this is this is where they get back to the Ritz I believe and she's like oh you want to come upstairs give me five minutes nice little

freshen up kind of thing there five minutes maybe she's got pizza boxes all over the room too that's true uh so if I'm in a hotel room for more than two days dude fucking look out Yep. Oh, yeah. She's been here this whole time shooting a movie or whatever. I can't imagine what it would look like. That was me. We spent fucking six days in Los Angeles. It was a pig die in my roof. Maybe that's why she related to him. She's like, oh, my God, thank God your house is disgusting like how I live. So he goes up after the five minutes and he knocks on the door and, uh-oh, doesn't Alec Baldwin? He has arrived and she's kind of like, hey, you got to go. And he's like, why? Why?

Oh, oh, ho, ho, ho, ho. And she just goes, oh, because my boyfriend's here. And it's like, yo, what? Yeah, hi, I'm her boyfriend, Jeff King, actor. Oh, yeah. I think it would have been funnier just to have him play himself. This is a weird time for Alec Baldwin because it's in between like his phases. He's about to come back.

It's 2002 is the cooler when he, when he is full on, like, thick, heavy Alex Baldwin, character actor, 30 Rock, et cetera. this is just sort of towards the waning ends of skinny the edge sexy Alec Baldwin you're starting to see the beginnings of the thickness though in a little space you're starting to see it

because in this end state in Maine you see you see how we treat not just women's bodies but when a man passes 50 suddenly oh yeah you're sticking down a bit didn't he that is the only way to explain what happened to Alec Baldwin in that time is like his entire

body just thickened it's like you pulled the thing and he inflated. It's gravity, alcohol. Some very nice pasta dishes. Some ragu. Here's the thing. I like eating and drinking. Man, I got to tell you what. I know the dude's

having some problems lately, but we've been going through 30 Rock. The dude is a fucking legend with that performance. That fucking character is hysterical. And I'm stunned how much of that show is holding up 20 years after it's starting. I'll tell you this. I'll do one better. I want more Alec Baldwin in this movie.

I want him to come back. He's pretty funny in this scene where he's just like, oh, hey, buddy, what did you? Oh, you're the bell hopper. It is like, yeah, but I'm not wearing my uniform because I'm going. I was like, cool, get me an ice cold water. If that's allowed in your horrible country, which is amazing. And very accurate, man, ice water over there, not to be found. And they don't care for it when you ask about it.

They don't buy the ice there, do they do there. No, they don't believe in it. It's a part of the religion. It's just a lot of just your drinking room temperature water, dude. It's part of the church. They say don't do it. Or it could be refrigerated. What if I run the tap on cold?

Is that okay? Let me ask you something, though. What is with the doorknobs in the middle? What is going on with that? Because I don't know how to open a door anymore. It took me 20 minutes to enter this place. 20 minutes. I could figure it up.

But he's kind of a dick. And like, you want him to come back and like, hey, he's a fun spice for this movie. And you want him to come back and get his just desserts or whatever. Sure. And he's gone after this. You know, I will say, though, the hilarity is only compounded by the fact that this is the cinematic cucking of the year. It's so brutal. Oh, my God.

Like, Hugh Grant has to be at half mass knocking on that door. Uh-huh. Yeah, yeah. she said five minutes you know five minutes is cleaning up oh and she was by way she was very clear I want you to like she doesn't say it outright but her the way what she's saying is

you should come up and fuck me of course absolutely it's a nice little scene they don't say it outright but it's very clear that is the that that is what you mean I think he went into the gift shop in the Ritz lobby looking for rubbers you would have to you would have to and even worse and then like you know like

Alec Baldwin orders dinner or whatever he's like yeah I'll be right up with that started. He's like, oh, and uh, can you take the treasure out? Oh, dude, man. And he has to go in their room and take out their garbage. Oh, and it's just a food tray and a garbage can. And this dude's erection is long dead. Even, even as you're, uh, you're trying to keep your fucking whatever, your scam going,

you got to be like, oh, no, so that someone else will do that. Like, you know what I mean? Like have some dignity. That's, that's the thing, dude, zero dignity with this character. Zero. And this is what, Tim. Honestly, this is probably why Julia Roberts, who's a total piece of shit and doesn't talk to him again for months, should be like, is like, maybe that's why she does. She loses all respect for him.

Like, oh, wow, he took the garbage, huh? I didn't know he was going to be a take the garbage kind of guy. Well, yeah. Great point about him taking the tip, but I thought what was going to happen there was like the door would close and maybe Hugh looks at whatever he gave him and he's like, that American idiot has no idea how our money works. like this isn't nothing to or something like that but it's just like takes that money oh yeah and that and that is absolutely if if you're julia roberts and you see that you don't fuck either of them anymore i would say yeah like i would say no to both but like you know you can't respect hugh gran anymore that's for damn sure no no no he does have a good line here though

where she goes is something the setup is something to be effective like uh you know i don't know what to say in a situation like this and he goes uh i think goodbye is customary yeah a real real fucking eat shit, but at the same time, not eat shit because I am taking your garbage. You can't, you're not leaving on a high note there. You're taking their garbage. Negative 30 degrees Kelvin on the dignity scale. Absolutely. So then now he's heartbroken. Again, like there's no thing where she sends him a letter or a call. Like they do have telephones in England, right? Like, I know they don't have cell phones. It's like early 90. It's 99 and they're older. So older people have a ton of cell phones at that point.

but somebody could call somebody like, hey, listen, I'm sorry about last night, da-da-da-da-da-da. No, just like, Ices him from here on out. Bad person. Unlike the water, she ices him. But, Steve, you're being so unfair.

It's not her. It's because of the terrible press. I see. That is what they do. They tap her phone lines, got it. That is what they are the ones keeping them apart. That's what's, they are the ones

to create the Al Green montage where he's being sad and watching the Helix, the Fifth Element movie. she's making. I gave it a real mission to Mars kind of vibe. Her hair is very fit. She does

the orange hair for some reason. Yeah, you're totally right. I forgot about that. The space suit, her walking in the space suit thing or whatever kind of, I don't know why, because I was like 99, whatever, Mission to Mars was like 2000. It was just that kind of like turn of the century sci-fi vibe or whatever. But yeah, somewhere in

that movie was an Academy Award winning performance that we'll never see. I guess. And it wasn't Clark Peters. That's surprising. No, no. You know, I took Actually, I took a photo of the news article. Maybe I'll glance at it. Maybe I can see if it won more than best picture. At least, just see if he got a nod at least. Is this where he, is he who refers to her as love heroin?

Yes. I almost fucking vomited. That's what he says to Spike. It's like I had a little bit of love heroin and I can't have any more. And you know all Spike is like, well, you got heroin. What's going on? You just said the magic word, brothers. And yes, she was like, love heroin. Famously, it's easy to go without heroin.

So I'm actually surviving fine. Guys, I think I should read this. It's double Helix Anna picks up another top award. The science fiction film Helix continues to catapult Anna Scott's career into orbit. Appearing at yesterday's ceremony, Anna thanked her co-stars and director, but gave a particular praise to the audiences who fly. locked to see the picture worldwide. We took a risk and the audiences

have come with us. Anna is currently filming her new movie in an adaptation of the Henry novella, The Sledge of London. Oh, so the Henry, so in that little article, they say the Henry James movie that she's making at the end of the movie. Yeah, starring as a mysterious widow, Amy, to invest.

Okay, Bob, I guess I don't need to do it all. But you know what? It's important. We know now. Anna Scott, all about the fans and that's really, you know what, that hits you in the heart right there. This is kind of funny because remember she's like, oh, what, uh, Hugh Grant asked her in that presser, what her next movie would be, is there going to be horses

and that and she says, a submarine, listen to this. She then returns to America for her new submarine thriller Black Finn. The poster of which looks suspiciously like the poster for a hunt for Red October.

It's just, it's just, it's just her with the Connery beard looking out in red but everyone involved says it'll be different actually the fact that Sean Connery's son Jason plays the Russian submarine

cat is a coincidence this is funnier than the movie Baldwin has mentioned it's cut off and it's completely cut off but it's end the blah blah blah it's talking about Hunt for Red October and it mentions Baldwin's in this article playing the Baldwin role

that's hilarious first of all I'm shocked that they wrote this much of it out and it didn't after one sentence turned into like Lorum Ipsum some fake text language that's impressive some set decorator to write that out not too shabby but this is the dating montage right because

his buddies are sad that he is so sad and they put him on a dating montage which is mixed results I guess I don't know guys guys if I'm ever single again just you know move if you know and Emily Mortimer, move her

to the front of the list. Yeah, I agree. That was dude, thank you. Why are we going through drunk lady that's friends with the one guy from work or whatever, who she comes in and she just goes like, oh, nice to meet you, let's get slashed. You're just like, okay.

Andrew, I will tell you exactly why they did this because somebody read a fucking stupid script writing book and they're like, will the three, you know, you got to do the sloshed one, the stupid vegetarian and then the good one fruititarian by the way

the fruititarian cooking is cruel and yes those carrots were murdered oh my those poor carrots I guess I won't be banging you later

yeah what does she say she only eats things that fall off trees or bushes or we're dead already well like if you don't think about the process of how meat or whatever happens

technically that's in the back It's dead already. Yeah, that's dead already. So, like, if she comes across Roadkill, you're saying, like, oh, it's dead already. I think so. I think she would... Get munching. She would eat Roadkill, yeah. Fruiterion is a real thing, by the...

Put it in a pudding. Is that right? Really? Is the film's definition accurate? Dieter consists of containing fruits, nuts, and seeds without any animal products. Okay, so that's different. But I'd like to apologize to the fruitetarians listening. I was not aware

of it. That's seeds. anything that's not from an animal? Isn't that just veganism? What's the difference? I guess it's like maybe like not even some, you're not even doing like fake cheeses and stuff. It's just literally just fruit. Oh. Yeah, no thanks. Yeah. Hey, no thanks. Yeah. And then Emily Mortimer literally credited his perfect girl in this movie. They appeared of a really good time, you know, see you again kind of like really sort of sets up. Yes. There's going to be a thing later in this movie where it's like they're kind of getting along and getting on in some kind of a relationship and then uh-oh the big celebrity comes back into the

picture for if you will entertain this notion gentlemen yes any kind of conflict whatsoever well i because you were expecting that i'm sorry steve but like you were expecting uh a sleepless in seattle kind of conflict right like he's about to get laid with emily mortimer and she calls him back yeah and that's and that and it ruins it and they were just about but like now he's like she's perfect but she's not heroin so fuck it but I will say the Chris A first of all you're not forgiven second of all

damn you the original script the character of Honey his sister was supposed to just be a girl in his friend group that worked at a record store across the way that he actually would reject Julie

Roberts for at the end basically like oh you know what I mean like I'm not going to get hurt you again, I have my friend here who has always had feelings for me yada yada yada. My friend here and I have dignity on my side. Exactly. Good

day, celebrity. I'm dating this young shopkeep here. So wait, that's the, what is that pretty in pink? Or is that some kind of wonderful. Yeah, that's a good word. I forget which one it is. I think it's some kind of wonderful. Sounds more like some kind of wonderful to me. Because that, I mean, that would

also, I would be more heartened by that outcome. Like, sure. She's just a like if Julie Roberts is just a character like that's fine but the fact that they do like harp on that they know these two are supposed to be together like for serious it does sort of make it that would be better right because it's like

oh there was that weird time in my life where I had like this what I thought to be like a dream girl scenario who could resist a you know great A celebrity kind of a thing and then it's like oh my friend right here the whole time is the one I should have been She kept treating me like shit

I didn't pick up on it Maybe this is just me Because this movie really does test my patience But do you get any real setup Of the fact that the sister and Spike No no no no I was gonna say Like I was like what what the fuck? What is this just like a cute thing? There's the two trash side characters

They're like yeah put them together Exactly They're gonna get married who cares That's how the edit works out You're totally right. So because that's how the edit works out. That's how the movie works out. But there is one moment where you're,

I think we're glimpsing into the longer cut deleted scene situation. It's where a little later on in the movie from here, she, the sister, Honey, runs into the bookstore with Reese Efon's spike character. And they don't explain why they're together. And she's like,

oh, look, I got you her agent's number in London. Yeah. agent's number in New York. Thanks a lot. Talk to you later. And she and Rizifans both run out of the bookstore together. Yes.

And that's the only time you see them. And then at the end where it's like, who you get married to? You. And it's like, okay. But like, clearly there's more movie there, man. They've at least been, hey, Jay. It's just like the effort to chop this shit down to get it to an acceptable, like, audience and theatrical running time, it's just so haphazard and sloppy.

that these things are left in the movie and you're just like well there was clearly more of that you're not covering up that you deleted shit out of this movie well it feels rushed it does at this point honest I don't want it to be longer because you know Steve your time is precious you don't want to

wait around another 20 minutes or whatever but I think they should have just made this movie a little longer if they were going to try if they're doing this but it's not even that though Eric because it's because the thing of it is it's yes the story beats are do suffer because each scene is so incredibly long because there's so many

long pauses and again the deafening sounds of silence it's so there's so much of like because we want to have this awkward staccato like so is there everything all right with you beat beat beat yeah i suppose so beat beat beat that that's how these scenes run as opposed to like something snappier you can get some more fucking story beats it because they don't like you don't get enough time with them together to even get like what they love about each other other than they're both attractive like it's supposed to be it's like all

brief encountership but you never see who they really are you're just like waiting and waiting because he's having a horrible time and then he's walking past he's going back to his house and he walks past a new stand that has so like Anna Scott Nudy scandal and it's like what the fuck is what could that

be and this is when she comes back into the movie and she's like hey remember how I totally fucked you before. Now I'm in trouble. Help me out. He's like, oh, but of course. But of course. And yeah, you know, next thing you know, she comes crawling back to his apartment.

And it's, she's talking about oh, you know, it was before I was famous. I was broke. I was just, it was a photo shoot. Yes. But someone had a camera on. I didn't know that. And all I could think about in this moment, is this a reference to the Cameron Diaz thing? I suppose. Well, I don't know

the Cameron Diaz. I'm not familiar. It's, I mean, I don't know if I'm going to remember it exactly but she did some sort of like bondage photo shoot thing and then like later on like it was before she was famous and before she was even like doing like more legit modeling or whatever

you know before that whole thing happened. Okay well and then like it came out later like someone was filming part of it and it was like Cameron Diaz in this blah blah blah I thought that that was maybe what we're referencing here but I don't know when that scandal actually blew up because she really I mean the mask was like

93, I guess. But it wasn't until, like, what, something about Mary in 98? Which is a year before this, yeah. Right. Well, I'm not going to Google that because I respect her, but I will Google Hugh Grant penis, which came up empty. That feels like a crime. There should be at least one Hugh Grant penis photo. Isn't it crazy?

It is kind of crazy. I'm pretty surprised, dude. I went to all these naked men websites and I found nothing but other guys. This whole scene, though, is very important because we really get a window. to these people. We find out that he likes Henry James. She likes Chagall. That's about it. That's kind of about it. That's kind of

about it. They're reading the script on the roof. And I guess this is supposed to be like charming. This is supposed to be like what you came here for, I guess, is like them gabbing between each other and then eventually fucking and talking about the Gilda scene.

Right. Right before he's helping her with these lines. There's another real shitty line in here where she's Basically, like, because she tells them, like, oh, I broke up with Alec Baldwin, blah, blah, blah. She has some line about, like, yeah, I don't know that we could be together. Basically, like, I don't know if we could date one another because I don't have good luck with normies. Yeah. Like, I can only, and I think she's sort of like concerned about, like, they can never take the high level of celebrity, whatever.

So I only have to date people that are as used to that kind of a way of existing as I am, I guess. I mean, we get the one, like, the one exchange that suggests, like, some knowledge of the industry is the, uh, the stunt bottom, uh, conversation. Oh, oh, oh, oh, stunt bottom. Oh, oh, he, ha, ho, ho, oh, stunt bottom. Mel does his own, which we should go on and use and love actually and have stunt bottoms be character. Oh, that's interesting. Let's you do, you know, we have stud bottoms and it's like, oh, does a Mel Gibson use a stunt bottom? I was like, no, he doesn't have to.

He's a great ass. And then, like, they're eating ice cream. And it's just like, there's something something. Would you like to lick it? And she goes, what, Mel Gibson's ass? And I'm like, yes, we're talking on eating Mel Gibson's ass in this movie. Yeah, yeah. This is great.

This is what I want. I want more of this. What's in that sand? Talk about a rocky road. So you live on the beach like Griggs? Yeah. Oh, boy. That's a lot of.

Oh, boy. Every day I think about eating a bullet, but then Julia Roberts eats my ass. that could stop me from doing it too and then buy me another week so you know time for time for sleepy by here and he's sleeping down on the foldout he at one point in the beginning

in this movie says well I guess if it's a you know all right it's a house it's a two bedroom house Risi Fon says one she's taking the other all right it does make sense he's on the sofa Risi Funtz comes down and it's kind of like a he's thinking it's her

and he's very excited and then it's uh oh it's spike blah blah blah and it's a great I mean again any scene with Reese C Fons is one of the better scenes in the movie and this is like hey you know you got a girl upstairs do you try for anything and you know

he grants like she's in trouble I'm just helping her out blah blah blah he's like oh right got it yeah it wouldn't be appropriate you mind if I have a go I love him But she does sneak down, dude, and gets told to sod off. I guess I will leave. But no.

No, then they start fucking, which we don't see, which is fine. We don't need a sex scene. No, no, no, no. We do get the breasts in bed in the morning dialogue of what is it with men and breasts? Oh, let me take another look and see if I could figure it out. What is it with men in breast? Yeah. Oh, boom, boom, bough, boom, bough, bough, bough, boom, bough.

Now, you do have to tell me, is my ass. better than Mel's? Which tastes better? Is it fuzzy? Is it fuzzy like his? Oh, that's right. That is her response. Oh, it's a little fuzzy.

Oh, I'll give him some peachy ass. Just getting in there, dude. The Hugh Grant thing is oddly prescient here when he says oh, well, you know, you know, men can have breasts too. That meatloaf has some nice breasts. And four months later, Fight Club

came out. Yeah, not too far. That's true. Bob and his bitch tits. I was just making foot of his fat man tits but apparently that's in a film. You see an aging man. You get towards 50s.

Do you see what they call you? Exactly. Talk about your tits, all right. Please let us fight here, Lou. Please let us keep this place. Sounds like you watch Fight Club. Yes, sir. I do it.

Great movie. Great movie. Awkwardly here, like after the really the first sexual encounter, Possibly barring that mysterious hey Jay in the park. Jury is still out on that. But she says, can I stay a bit longer? And this dude throws it right out there, huh?

Stay forever. Oh, yeah. Forever. Door locks. So then it's like, oh, let me just, oh, there's a ring of the doorbell. Hugh Grant putting his shirt on to answer it. And wouldn't you know, it's all of the press of the world. He closed the door.

And he can't be this befuddled. When she goes to the door. You have to grab her and be like, no, listen. Because he's like, oh, you don't really want to do that. She's like, are you playing it? Anna, oh, oh. No, like, the press is out there. It's the last thing you want.

I know that that's going to bother you. But then the press gets her and like, she gets really upset about it. They get a bunch too. Yeah. It's like a wall of flashbulb, essentially. Trailer moment, of course, this is Risi Fons is also. He does a better job telling Reese Fonz not to open the door than he does Julia Roberts. And like, you know, Reese goes out there.

And this is, of course, he's in his underwear and he does the flexing shit. It is fucking hilarious, though. And then, like, the door closes. And you see that he's been, like, thinking about why he would do it. And he's like, oh, yeah, like, you looked good. Underwear, look good.

All these ladies are going to see this. Yeah, I mean, you watch this and you're like, man, I would watch a movie with just Risa fans. And the problem is with that, they made that movie. It's called Danny Dexter. And it's awful. They did it. sucks. So don't say that. I don't think I've seen that. But what's cool about this is now the

press could be like Anna Scott in a massive orgy house, two men in their wee knickers coming out. That's a good call, dude, because I remember thinking it yesterday, watching this, like, why isn't she also concerned that Reese Fins open the door? There needs to be a line like, now they're going to think I'm in some weird three-way situation. She's betting this dodgy freak. Look at him. Well, I haven't seen a bigger indict. of the British door system than not having a peephole and like whatever you put the fucking door handle

wherever you like put a peephole in there so you can look outside and be like oh there's a wall of fucking cameras outside my door Chris Fancy's peepin I do if it's peeping outside my door I do I'm pro peep everybody also take a look at this daddy deck chair post take a big of this deck chair

poster with Miranda Otto cruebly instantly side the balloons on it? She looks like the fucking sun in teletone. This is about a guy who turns a woman into a balloon creature of some kind? It is not that, but you wish

it would. That would be a better movie. He's got a bunch of balloons tied to a chair and he becomes like famous or something because that happens. He floats around. He floats around and people are like oh my God, it's the floating guy. He's playing an Australian in that movie too. Oh, cricky.

indeed dude cranky indeed but yeah so she's pissed off here and you know she's pretty fucking brutal to this guy she's like oh I bet you anything

you and your scumbag friend fucking sold this information to the press to make a quick buck blah blah blah and she says oh by the way it was a very funny line she's like newspapers last forever which is a hilarious thing to say in 2033

this every time I ever make it anytime they ever write about me they will write about this as well these pictures will last forever and I will regret this meaning meaning they're fair forever and like that's pretty fucked up I mean like again I get she's very upset I side with her but a bit here Steve yes I never she never comes back again and calls the dude next day I just read her fucking article

that came out after that doesn't mention it Yeah, exactly. Yeah, I guess that's actually true. Oh, I mean, the other thing, too, it is kind of funny is not only are they, you know, selling her whereabouts to the press for money or whatever, also to push his failing bookstore, which is great. Like boost sales for your shitty bookstore or whatever she says to it.

It's like, oh, man, you were hitting this guy all over the place where it hurts. I would believe it because what else is keeping that thing afloat? the fuck but yeah you know she walks out to the sea of press her manager and the other security guard guy or whatever both come and kind of pick her up and

Spike is like hey I may have told some of the fellas around the pub the situation but you at least know it's not like he doesn't say like this dude gave me 50 quid and I told you know nothing like that it's just like I'm an idiot and I was

telling my idiot friends at the pub that she was here. But another great music montage here. Bill Withers ain't no sunshine. Of course, yeah. He's walking around the titular Notting Hill and the seasons are changing. We see Honey get in and out

of a bad relationship it looks like for a minute. You see the pregnant lady like at the start of it and then at the end of the season she's carrying the little baby. I will say what I like about this shot, the only computer stuff we're using is to transition between the seasons

and it's a lot of like someone walked in front of the camera and oh now we're doing a secret cut and now it's the next thing but all of it is actually on the street in Notting Hill and we're actually doing some movie magic set decorating we're doing fake winter all that shit and honestly I appreciated that I liked looking at the craft of like now we've built a set for winter and he walks through it now it's a set for summer and you know you see him take his jacket off it's pretty cool What's very jarring is I think again here you see

Do you again here see the Beavis and Butthead Stained Glass window that's being sold? Possibly. Yeah, they might go back to it. It's unsettling. I can't look at that thing. And I like no one Beavis a Butte. No one's buying it? Come on. That's actually, yeah, pretty super. And this is where Honey comes in and says the thing about, oh, you know, now I got her agent's number. Now you can call her any, you ring her any time you'd like.

I got you a new dealer. You want your love heroin back? Do you think, by the way, I meant to ask this when we were talking about the love heroin thing, do you think the line was actually like, I find myself chasing the love dragon or something? And they were like, no one's got to understand what chasing the dragon means. So you just have to say love heroin. And is there, that implies the existence of a love methadone, I guess. I'd jerk it off, dude.

I found myself, I found myself every day passing out in a love den where women would just, make me smoke love and I take hot coals and put it on the love. Start a love den. Love den. Now I'm just thinking about a like a methadone clinic but a bunch of

it's a room that, well I guess it's a goon cave but like official state sponsored and like people are like I don't like those men lining up in the morning to go in there. They jerk off before they go to work. The goons stalls. They have goon all over to the UK.

Oh, yeah. This is the truly brutal our friend's restaurant is closing and we're having a toast about it and it's like, dude lost his restaurant. Bernie has lost his job at this point. It's kind of funny.

It's pretty, yeah. He's supposed to be a bad stockbroker. It's a terrible stockbroker. So it made sense. It's funny. And then this is, Honey says she got engaged,

you know, to somebody and they're all happy for or whatever. And then she turns the receipt funds and it's like, by the way, it's you. And he's like, groovy. And again, it's a sweet little moment because, yeah, you know, screenplays do this.

The two crazies are getting together. Love finds everybody. But it's just deleted scene nonsense at this point. Oh, boy. It's like different ideas of how this could have ended. And they're like, why don't we use them all? Yes. To get us to the two hour mark, why don't we use every ending we thought of

and just, you know, see if one of them likes it. It's, it is like return of the king. I'm sorry. It's just like, just pick a fucking ending and stick it. Like, I guess this is supposed to be like that feeling of like, will they, won't they? But I'm like, this isn't like a TV show. Like, I don't, I don't go from episode to episode with this thing. I just want one straight line. So fucking ended already. Well, we got to take some time to acknowledge, Helix has won the Oscar now.

Of course. And then there's word that. She's filming a new picture up on hamstibed heath. That's right. And you know it was crazy because a bunch of us just watched The Promise Land where they're saying Heath all over. Now I'm hearing Heath in this movie. It's like Harry Dean Stanton with a plate of shrimp from repo man.

It's exactly like that. The film that, yeah, it's the Henry James or whatever James. Henry James. Two first names creep me out. Anyway, but earlier I read that article and I said the sleeve. of London and I think, because it looked like an L because it was angled, the TV

photo was angled. Oh, sure. And I thought, hey, sleege, I don't know, maybe they're saying it every day over there. But no, it was the siege of London. Yeah. That makes much more sense. It does, doesn't it? And it's a big old period piece and a nice old house.

He shows up to say hi to her and at first, like, you think he's just going to get tossed away, but she sees him. She's like, oh, hey, cool. Yeah, yet again, you're on my time, as always. Although he showed up her job. But she's like, listen. Yeah, you're showing up with a job.

You're in the middle of a shoot. She's like, yeah, we're running late. It's kind of a bad day. Why don't you just wait for me? And you can just hang out of the set. He's like, cool. Some guys are like, hey, you want to hear how they're talking? And he's like, sure.

You want to hear what the words sound like? These are kind of headphones. Put him on. Is you the Brit that was sleeping with the lady? Of course you can listen to the lady. You're sleeping with the audio. Do you see what a guy is? It's a guy.

It should be mentioned also that there is some significance to her shooting a Henry James thing with relation to him. Because when they're reading the script for the submarine movie, you know, he's like, oh, it's compelling. It's not Henry James, but it's compelling. And she says, oh, do you think I should do a Henry James adaptation? And he says yes. So here she is. Uh-oh, it's a Henry James adaptation. Oh, oh, maybe she does love me.

Oh, what's that? She's talking shit about me to a co-star? Oh, bugger again. Brutal. This is, dude, it is just a massive kick in the nuts. The dude is like, hey, who's that guy you were just talking to? And she's like, I don't know, some friend really, I don't even know what he's doing here. It's a real awkward situation.

Yes, exactly. which also like her excuse at the end does not make sense because later so he storms off and rightfully so and then she comes back to his bookstore and she's got this big present for him and this is the big scene and he's like well why did you tell me to go well I didn't want to tell you know the the world's

most least discreet co-star what was going on sure just oh no it's just a buddy of mine from college as I was like oh that fucking pig I don't know he's here to jerk off to me again I think he's stalking me. What you're saying here answers the question of why, I mean, other than, you know, he's a handsome guy and it's a movie, but why indeed it's Hugh Grant in this situation? Because so much of this is Hugh Grant getting close to her physically in public.

And I feel like if you got, I don't know, Captain Lou Albano in this role, that dude is getting tackled by security at every turn. like Hugh Grant shows up to this closed set and there's a security guard here and the guy is just very politely like oh I'm sorry like you you're not on the list or whatever like I can't let you back here if it's Captain Lou Albano or dudes of his ilk like if a fucking podcaster's in love with her

that dude is getting tackled in every scene oh yeah yeah tasers swarm swarm the bobbies will come with their billies and smack you that's exactly right yes like the innocence even of like a David Crumholtz Crumholtz is getting tackled time and again

teeth left in his head oh sir so you know she goes back she gives the it turns out to be the Chagall painting we find out it's so again we are just like fucking killing time

and this is a thing this movie didn't need to be longer this needed to delete different things from it exactly this is like you know they're about to have the moment here whatever and the fucking mother calls and then like you just have this long slog where Jules is just talking to the other shopkeep co-worker and the joke

is that guy thinks she's to me more and we're talking about fucking ghost and working with Patrick Swayze and I'm like the movie is so close to complete it. Thank you. What are we doing? It's well because don't you want some laughy laughs would you like a chuckle while we're trying to get through the movie? No I want to get through a movie so I can put something else on so I can start

chuckling. Of course you would wish about it but like it's a phone call from his mother and she's complaining so there's all this it's so this is it's the big uh I'm just a girl fucking asking a boy like the whole thing. I'm just a girl standing in front of a boy

asking him to love him now that's a fine I think it's very good line she delivers it great she does the scene very well she's whispering still but whatever I'm dealing with it it's fine what I don't like is that they're like the next scene is him like showing

off the shagal and then like, boy, she said this line. It was just, it's the best line of the movie. Dude, you got to, you all have to hear those, the line she said. It was like Richard Curtis had written this line. I have to tell you, it was one of the best lines I ever heard. It's so incredible because, yes, because Richard Curtis

has his whole cast trick off to his own dialogue. And it was oh, what a great line. Oh, what a great line. Oh, what a great line. Oh, God. If that line was in a was in a movie. I would suck that screenwriter off, I would. I'm talking golf ball through a garden hose.

Suck that guy off. What a line. There's five easy pieces in the scene after the done is Jack Nelson back. And you know, I just, I told her, put the chicken between her knees. It's the greatest line I ever had. I never have a comeback like that.

It was so good. I love that line. I can't believe I said that. Isn't this natural us just talking about the dialogue like that? Because me and you just talking about this. It's very weird. Having a chew talking about it. You know, chewing some food at this failed restaurant.

Dude, we are back at this failed restaurant. Really rubbing it in with this guy. And again, I feel like in the larger scope of the movie and the longer cut or whatever, like this dude's restaurant was their hangout. Yes. Because otherwise, why would you go to the same? dead restaurant and your friend who's like trying to pack up the pieces of his shattered life and you're just like let's go in here to fucking chit chat more about this shagal painting and the

best line of the movie like it has to be because that is their deleted scene hang out for this movie oh my god i mean i can imagine that hugh grant wants to go there to see the the future of his life which is an empty shop uh and being closed up and take it's what it looks like when you go out of business. It is very fortunate that all of his friends are losers with nothing to do. Hugh Badaville gets fired. I'm not sure we brought that up. I think we did. Yeah. A loser thing. It's the smell of failure.

Better get used to this. And of course, he's like, oh, I beefed it, didn't I? Oh, yeah. We should end the movie with me having sex with Julia Rob. All the friends are like, no, you know, you did the right thing and stuff. And then Spike comes in. And he's like, you deft. what was it not wanker deaf is it prick

yeah deaf prick yeah I think maybe daft prick and then everybody's like yeah Spike's right we were just lying to make you feel better and I guarantee you one some executive somewhere was like can we break up the funeral and put on give me some loving is it possible that we can have

a little bit of fucking fun with it because it's so incongruous with the rest of the movie that give me some loving yeah everyone's just running around and now we're having like a fun race to the car situation. Right. It's that typical kind of ending where it's like, oh, we're going to race to the airport, but it turns out not the airport. She's

going to go there soon, though. We might have to. First, we go back to the hotel. He fucking kisses this guy after he says that she's going to be at the Savoy Hotel at the press conference. I love this guy working at the desk because like the way in which

he throws out all the helpful information. All I could think about was that joke in Wayne's World with Chris Farley where it's like, well, that security guard sure wasn't helpful, really informative. I do like that they end it. Like the whole movie

is like the press are the most horrible people in the world. Yes. And you have to go to the belly of the beast, the press conference. Chris. Where you become the beast. You are the beast. The enemy of the people, right? Yes, of course. This press conference, which is to announce,

she's taking a break from making movies, which doesn't make any sense. No, not at all. What are you, you're promoting that you're not working. You know what actors do then? They don't work. And then they don't have to talk to the fucking press. They just take that's what taking time is. You know what I mean? That's a Jane Hackman method. Exactly. You just don't

work for like two or three years. This feel, again though, this feels like a very old fashioned Yes. A celebrity would make this announcement in like the 1940s or something. It seems like something right out of singing in the rain. It's just like the wrong

period for actors to do this. I mean like, you're right. Someone said, It's 99, so like maybe some emails, a fax is going around. There's a press release that's like taking a break and that's the end of it. But I feel like in this moment she's given this press conference, I'm like, is Gene Kelly going to come out of talking? Like, what are we doing? That's a great point, Andrew, because that's a lot of this movie does feel like I said brief encounter, but there's 100 movies like this, like that just lean on it and be like assume like, yes, these two are going to be together. We just have to find out how to get there.

And I would have, I guess, been more accepting of that kind of throwback feeling if this movie was stylized in any way. But it's not. It's at all. It's just shot like a normal movie, like a Richard Curtis movie. It looks fine, but it doesn't have anything like going for. It certainly does not call back like the golden age of Hollywood or anything like that. But yeah, like he goes there and she's like, I just won the Oscar going. I'm going to leave forever.

and then he and his pink shirt at, like, if you're the manager, you know all these people, right? So you wouldn't call on the, oh, random guy. Yes, of course, random guy. Well, the joke should be, right? The joke is the guy recognized, because it's the same dude.

Yeah, yeah. So the guy recognizes him from the last junket. And he just goes, oh, yes, the man again from Horse and Hound magazine. That's what the joke should have been. You spend so much time. talking about horse and hound like it's the funniest thing. You have to bring that back up right here. The gentleman

from horse and hound, the last question. Go ahead, sir. And no, but it's him. He has to bring up the horse and hound thing. It's not even the manager. So he's like, do you think maybe if a person who had a failing, traveling book store said, I want to actually

marry a billionaire, would you say yes to him doing that? And of course, she said yes. What if he told you he'd been a doffed prick? And what if he got on his hands and he's and apologized? It's like, A, which he does not do. Nope. And then she like, she allows him a guy before is like, oh, how long he's staying in Britain?

She's going to go, I'm leaving right now. She's like, actually, Tom, could you re-ask your question? Well, how long are you staying in Britain? Indefinitely? And I'm like, cool. Yes. And I'm like, oh, cool, here come the credits. No, they don't.

here's a 20-minute montage of what their relationship would look like. I can't believe it. I can't believe it. They get married. They're going around. You end the movie. It's over. It's incredible.

There is a good gag here where because Reese E. Fons at one point when they get stuck in traffic has jumped. This guy's put his life on the line so this relationship can happen. He's running in front of cars, stopping traffic so they can keep going. So the joke is he's caught up

and he gets to the hotel and he runs in and it's, something like what did I miss and he's like out of breath and totally sweating it's pretty great but yeah there's the wedding we're walking around we're just we're in different various different parks there's just so much i mean look we they attend to premiere together that's you know a big thing this is all that this this is the three hours folks this is what it was supposed to be i suppose um and then yeah we end they have now found their own little private park. Do you notice

these poor people in the park trying to just do some Tai Chi on this beautiful London morning and these little turd children are running through their little workout set up? Where are the parents? I was a friend to be one of their kids. By the way, so like they're...

Ooh, yeah. They're on the bench, the bench for the earlier part of the movie. And Eugent is reading and she is pulling a putty which is just like, so do you want a magazine? No. You're just going to stare into space? Yeah, that's right.

Because she's just staring into nothing while he is reading. That would unsettle me so much. I'm like, do you want me to bring a book for you? I've got to get something else. You know, are you good? Perhaps a travel book. No, I'm just going to stare into space. With child.

Oh, is she pregnant? I missed. Yeah, yeah, yeah. She's sitting there. I mean, so I think that's kind of what takes the attention off of it. I mean, if you notice the belly bump, it's like, oh, she's, just kind of like sitting quietly.

pregnant people need to be entertained as well. I don't know, man. Just get a fucking magazine on the way. She's watching those fucking turd kids ruin the Tai Chi class. Oh, why does her baby look a lot like that devil Jeff King? That devil.

You know, the Alec Baldwin looking chap who also assists in this world because he was mentioned in the article. How about your blackfin, your submarine picture? Why does my son have a very hairy chest? Why? Why? Why is my baby have a hair of chance? He's a false baby.

Oh, yes. He's telling me what to do around the house. He keeps telling me to suck it. Why must I suck it? Our baby's first words were, here's the thing. What is the human centipede anyway? Why does he keep on putting Tom Six movies on? Well, I keep putting them on because Tom Six is a visionary genius. The director of the Human Centipede will be joining us for the hour here on. On WNB, WNYC, yes.

Oh, he's playing, he's playing podcast. But that is the end of this movie here. We go to credits. And that's, that's the end of it. She! Yes, a lot of Elvis Costello to take us out, of course. But yeah, hyper, hyper successful movie, man. Like I said, huge smash.

363 mil almost 364 mil worldwide unbelievable go around the horn here though final thoughts uh eric sisco yeah um i see what people i guess like about it because it it hits those certain beats it's it's it's i'm not gonna you know we just went through it there it would be nice for music or whatever so it's not necessarily the best made movie but for a rom-com it it kind of gets where you need to be I don't personally envision seeing myself ever watching again. I watched it for the first time yesterday. So yeah, it's certainly a movie. Steve Saneck.

Yeah, it's not for me. Like I said, it's really slow. I find the lack of score kind of oppressive. I find kind of just like the, I don't think they have great chemistry. I think that her character's written really poorly where she just comes off. Like, what about finding out, like,

what was it like before she became an actress was she like you know what I mean was she a tomboy was she always was she a beauty queen was she anything like you know what I mean like let's let's get in there and figure out who this character is before we start just everything diet since 19 sure that's that's what I need

but yeah whatever it's not for me though I can see people liking it I don't care for this film Chris Cabin oh yeah it sucks the everything sees it I mean like yet she's not really a character

like the I wish she was but like she's not and there are moments when you're about to have those conversations in the movie and they're like hey what happens if we listen to these four guys talking about boning her because there like scenes like that

where she's like let's talk about your divorce it's like have a conversation like people who are in love would do and it never happens it's just all very like it's just love it's just love and like I don't even get the Eric just said like it's just a normal rom-com

I'm missing the romance and the comedy from this rom-com you gotta be British or something I guess but like I don't think so I think it's just bad and that's I guess where I'm getting that it's just bad I think you're right though she's not a character no I wish she was I really do

but like it's just neither like he's got a little bit more going on but like she's just got the celebrity thing and that's it so yeah I would say don't watch this movie I don't know if I I guess I do I guess I do prefer nine months to this

I don't know why but I think I do It's a it's messier at least I think I laughed at that movie once So maybe I have to give it to that But anyway Both of these were terrible movies But yeah

Yeah you know I think I like this movie a little more than you guys do I don't think it's great It is too long I think as far as like of these movies it's kind of leaning

on the better side but like it's the edit is what kills this I feel like there's other shit in there possibly even learning more about her that's just cut out and it's a really bad job and I think like you just need to consider when you're going to shoot

these like big scripts and shit like maybe we shouldn't shoot this all maybe this script should be kind of paired down before we get into production and in the writing phase we can make sure that things still make sense and people feel like characters and not make a big three hour thing and then have to

cut so much out of it. They kind of feel like little shadows of real characters. I will say though the nine months thing, I don't know Chris because just any kind of like baby comedy you're losing me a little bit more. This movie is

baby free so I'll give it that. I will also say if you want a more updated Julia Roberts rom-com that I thought was actually pretty entertaining and the two leads 100% have chemistry together

from two years ago Ticket to Paradise, her and Clooney. It's a pretty funny movie and it's under two hours. It's funny because I think they're going to Indonesia in that, right? Somewhere. Yeah, I don't remember. I'm pretty sure because I was like...

Oh, yeah, they go to Bali. Yeah, I was like, oh, when are the guys from the act of killing going to show up and just have at these people have at it. This wasn't in the travel book? That is going to do it for this episode of We Hate Movies. As always, folks, if you want more We Hate Movies, check out patreon.com slash we hate movies. Where this month on We Love Movies,
