Note to Self

This is absolutely the last time you stay up late watching "Four Weddings and a Funeral" as the melancholy which ensues is really quite unhealthy.

Also, Andie MacDowell just never gets any less annoying.

I think part of the reason the movie makes me so sad is that he chooses her over Kristin Scott Thomas. That just proves that there is no justice.

Admittedly I've only seen it once, so my memory's fuzzy on it, but the thing I found very annoying is that the fact he finds her so irresistible seems so imposed; it's not organic at all. It's so clearly an assignment -- Hugh, go be in love with Andy -- and while he does his best there just doesn't seem to be anything there. It seemed to me to be this blatant flattery of Americans -- we're so irresistible and unconventional that handsome English men are always going to fall in love with us.

Michael Palin's American Friends did it much better.

I wish I had only seen it once. I didn't even like it the first time I saw it. Now it's like this periodic guilty pleasure/ordeal I put myself through.

I've not seen "American Friends," and Netflix fails me. Dammit.
