Love Actually ?

Lapin

She want's to stay in and watch it. She says its a Christmas tradition.

I want to go out because its the last chance I'll get to before the Christmas.

I'm hoping to start a new tradition.


If ever a film was so unaptly named.



Suggestions.

Larianne

Throw the RTE guide at her and tell her it'll be on another night.

Sir Digby Chicken Caesar

get a boyfriend, at least then you'll get to watch die hard

tightropetom

Maybe grow a pair?

WindSock

If you live near me, I'll go out on the lash with ya.

Pig Benis

Smash the TV.
Youll either end up going out or start ridin, win win.

Gongoozler

Go out ffs, it'll be on at least three more times over Christmas. Can she not watch it by herself some time?

EoghanIRL

Go watch paint dry , it would still be more interesting

Well if she wants to stay in then let her stay in while you go out

Sauve

Can't she watch the film while you go out?
Or do people not do things separately anymore?

El Guapo!

Do you usually sit in and watch it with her??
Why not go out by yourself, come home drunk, and try get the leg over?

I think she carries his purse.

My little trick when some ****e like that is on the tele is to keep asking her loads and loads of stupid questions about the film.
You'll be in the pub in no time!

I made a compromise when presented with a similar choice with my girlfriend wanting to watch her favourite Christmas movie. I said it was fine once we can watch my favourite Christmas movie, Die Hard

Insist on watching your favourite film after it. And let it be known beforehand that it is in fact Debbie Does Dallas.

Not much, no. You?

I can't. My mother had a pathological hatred of Sondra Locke which she passed onto me. Even though she was only in Sudden Impact I could never bring myself to watch any of the other Dirty Harry films.






some of this anecdote is true and some of it I made up

AskMyChocolate

As this is a Christmas thread, the third option on the poll should really be "Shake it all about?"

Wattle

Tell her everybody in the film died in a horrible accident and that if you watch it you'll be depressed for the whole of Christmas. Suggest a Jackie Chan marathon instead.

sfwcork

I reckon he wants to stay in and she wants to go out really

Lapin

Ads at last !

No need for multi room.
Its on RTÉ.

I could probably pick it up if I stuck a phone charger into a magnifying glass with a clothes hanger shoved up the chimney.

Take a break when you're done with that.

Have a Kit Kat !

Gummy Panda

Just go asleep during it and make her rub your hair. That's what I would do. I dream I'm a Viking.

Nobody told me there was boobies in Love Actually. I didn't know yer one from Gavin and Stacey got them out for the lads.

Honesty is the best policy.

Darling (or whatever), I do like to spend time with you, but I just cant watch this sugar coated brainless generic regurgitated shallow american nonsense.

As such I feel it would be disingenuous of me to sit with you under the false pretense of enjoying something that makes me try to count the pixels on the screen.

Since relationships are based on honesty and mutual respect for the needs of each other I feel it is best for me...it is best for US, that I not lie to you. I will be back before our Sunday dinner with your mother who is not at all annoying.

Spent the last two hours on the laptop playing Team Fortress 2, now Predator is on and all is right with the world.

fonecrusher1

Great film. The bit were robocop has a scrap with Ed209 and it falls down the stairs. Ah brilliant.

Mad Max in the Turnerdome is on now, by far the worst but better than any soppy kissy kissy crack!

I prefer to point out every flaw I spot in the film.....

I was made sit through this last night.

Examples include:
they've just gone through security at the airport, why are they meeting people with trollys of un-checked bags?

Portuguese bint working as a waitress in a restaurant in France, but she doesn't speak French. And all the people on the streets also speak Portuguese and not French?

At the end, the Prime Minister walks through arrivals gate at Heathrow into the general arrivals area? Heathrow, one of the biggest airports in the world, often used by the Royal family, doesn't have a more discreet arrivals procedure for people who would be considered to need it?

Filmed in Britain, set in London, written and directed by a Brit, produced by Working Title - a British production company, and featuring a predominantly British cast.
It's nonsense, but at least allow our neighbours to bear responsibility for inflicting this nonsense on us.

Nu-uh, he goes to Portugal to find her. Her entire family follow him down (speaking Portugese).

My boyfriend is only with me for my taste in movies. Die Hard is best Christmas film ever. Bad Santa the funniest.

Tradition?? The film isn't even 10 years old, getting socks from your granny is an xmas tradition. Go out and have a traditional pint of Guinness.

Plural would be more apt.

It was already plural from an Irish POV Don't we all say to our women that we are heading out for a "pint", and come back 5+ pints later

Immaculate Pasta

Don't be so henpecked and go out and enjoy yourself. In 10 years time you might be recalling a great night out with your mates around Christmas time but I bet anything you won't be fondly telling the story where you wanted to go out but instead you were boring and stayed in watching some shit Hugh Grant film with your bird.
