I have a fond, if shaky, recollection of the film so I was watching the clips to refresh my memory. The Brit accents on my cheap speakers were difficult to make out so I turned on the closed captions. After a few moments I exclaimed “I’m watching a K-drama!” Just last night I had finished a 2017 Korean series involving…

“Notting Hill was almost a by-word for Black Britain.”

My cousin was working for Richard Curtis at this time, and I happened to be in London, and visited the set of this movie. I was there for the Horse & Hound press conference scene. So maybe I could have been the average dude to have a romantic love affair with a lady superstar! Didn’t go that way, sad to say.

“Sod a dog, I’ve made the wrong decision!”

I thought the movie captured very well how disorienting it must be for a normal to date someone who lives the Hollywood life. Disappear for months at a time to shoot a movie, travel around for press, always around beautiful people without you...it would take a ton of trust for a relationship like that to work.…

This movie. A lady friend* of mine once paraphrased this movie, with the old “i’m just a girl, shitting on a boy....” line, now Notting Hill is irrevocably paired for me with coprophilia. And i hope, with you too.

This movie got me to subscribe to Horse & Hound. Alas they gave up the print edition and went on-line only and then it was shuttered down by G/O Media only a year after it was acquired by the private equity firm.

It’s really weird, the race aspect of it. Presumably to most of the rest of the world, Notting Hill meant nothing. But to people in the UK, outside the very small group of people who were directly part of the just-starting gentrification of the area, Notting Hill was almost a by-word for Black Britain. So to see a…

“Excellent choice of briefs... Chicks love grey... Nice! Firm! Buttocks!”

This movie holds a weird place for me. It was one of the first two DVDs I ever bought once I finally got a DVD drive for my college PC (WHSmith was doing a limited “buy 2 for £22" offer) alongside Blade Runner: The Director’s Cut. I enjoyed 4 Weddings despite Hugh Grant, who’s floppy-haired stammering persona just…

I’m torn between being sad that we only got a 13 episode season this year and glad that the whole thing was shot and completed in time to air it all.

Most organic laugh was when Rosa slid her phone up to record Holt and Terry’s rump-shakin’

Great finale to a great season but the shorter episode count is really bumming me out. Is there any reason it’s not getting additional episode order like last season? Or hell, why is it not getting a full season? Is it a rating thing or what?

A good solid wrap on a solid season. No cliffhanger, no unexpected major shakeups (the baby, while major, is not unexpected) - just a great episode to go out on for a bit.

I feel like this season had just barely started and now it’s over. I guess every day being the same now contributed to that, but the combination of really fast pace and a shorter episode count was a lot of it too. I don’t understand why they haven’t extended a lot of episodes to around 30 minutes, in all honesty

I just love this show and I’m so sad it’s going to probably be a long time until we get Season 8. FYI, there’s a new interview in the Hollywood Report with Goor and Samberg about this season and ideas for Season 8.

Scully and Hitchcock making a birthing room for Amy (due to being masters of the work siesta) is legit one of the sweetest moments in a show constantly flooded with sweet moments.

I was surprised to see the finale this early. But ‘twas a good one.

as to why Amy is in uniform w/different tasks than Terry: in the episode where she got her new command it was said that the P.D. didn’t allow married people to work in the same unit, so Amy was transferred to command the uniformed officers.

That was a very enjoyable finale; I loved everything surrounding Jake and Boyle’s rag-tag Pedal Pub crew.
