Amanda decides to take a two week vacation and surfs the internet. She meets Iris online, and they agree to swap their homes for the holidays. Amanda lives in Los Angeles and Iris lives in the countryside of Surrey, England. Even though they now have a change of scenery and want no contact with men, they are both still depressed and lonely. But things are about to change when Iris' brother Graham (Jude Law) drops by Iris' house and meets Amanda. On the other side of the world, Iris meets Miles (Jack Black) a film composer. Romance is in the air and sparks are about to fly.

Titanicfan94 http://i561.photobucket.com/albums/s...aamloos-13.jpg Art by Fatima Reasons 1. Because you can't help but feel good when watching this movie. 2. Because any guy would be lucky to have a girl like Irish 3. Because her and Jack Black had amazing chemistry. 4. Because we all loved the "accidental boob graze." 5. Because her and Eli Wallach were magical on screen together. 6. Because Jasper didn't know what he was missing. 7. Because how can you not ship Iris & Miles. http://i561.photobucket.com/albums/s...Naamloos-4.jpg Art by Fatima Quotes Iris: I have found almost everything ever written about love to be true. Shakespeare said, "Journeys end in lovers meeting." What an extraordinary thought. Miles: [Miles reaches over to grab something on the counter, his arm grazing Iris's chest] Okay, sorry about that. Boob graze. [both Miles & Iris laughing] Miles: That was accidental. Accidental boob graze. I'm sorry. Iris: Changing subject. Miles: Okay. Iris: Arthur, I've been going to a therapist for three years and she's never explained anything to me that well. That was brilliant. Brutal, but brilliant. Iris: I'm having a Hannukah party. Miles: Did you join a Temple since I last saw you? Past Threads The Holiday Appreciation Thread#1: Because who wouldn't want a girl like Iris! The Holiday Appreciation Thread #2: Because Iris is the leading lady of her own life. The Holiday Appreciation Thread #3: Because nothing puts you in the holiday spirit like this movie. Future titles: Because Iris & Miles had an instant connection. Because we could watch that movie over and over again Because the chemistry between Iris and Miles made us all *sigh* Because Iris finally got what she deserved |
Anyone else wanting to be added to the list?
|
That's okay, Laurelle. :hug: BTW, thanks for the new thread!
I had no clue we needed a new one. I didn't look at the post numbers, dumb me. |
No need to do so. You were the one that reminded me we needed a new thread :D And you're welcome. I see that you're name is not on the list. Would you like to be added?
|
Sure, go ahead and add me. :hug:
I like the title a lot! Defo gotta watch this once it's December. |

That sounds good! We'll have to talk about it more with Lizie.

I went to the Movie Party thread, and we seemed to have said that earlier (:blush:) All I asked for, though, was a guarantee that we are actually going to see that film.
|
We'll see. It can be hard with the holidays to find time.
|
yeh we'll see what happens-I usually end up being busy as well its just finding the time
love the title though-will watch this one way or another |
I think I'll cheat and get a head start on this tonight. Jut gotta finish laundry & cleaning the house, accompanied by Christmas music; getting stuff ready for December. Parts of it, anyway. Since it's the 1st Advent today, it seems like a fitting way to end the week. Happy Sunday, all!
|
hope you get to see it Jor-haven't seen it in ages but such a lovely film
|
I've been watching parts for the last few days, too :lol: Can't wait to see the whole movie though. Not this week, that's for sure. I've got one exam a day to sit, until Friday. Maybe I'll catch a bit during the weekend.
|
Best of luck on your exams, hon :hug:
|
Thanks :hug: I appreciate it.
