@Darren: I’m not too sure about that man. RottenTomatoes says: “The Notebook is still a syrupy tearjerker” with a rating of 50%. Won’t be going out of my way to catch it.

@Cormac: It’s called Live Comment Preview. I’d forgotten about it since it doesn’t appear when your logged in as I normally am. Here’s the address for it: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/live-comment-preview/

That looks really good. I read some good reviews of it a few weeks but I opted for a slightly different movie instead, Iron Man. I’ll check Lars and the Real Girl if a chance though.

*what’s the below comment preview extension? Tis’ nice.

Yep, that’s the one. But don’t let that put you off. We sat down to watch it a few months back and were really surprised by it. I was all set to hate it but it turned out to be amazing. Give it a go – you won’t be disappointed.

@Darren: The Notebook? Isn’t that a film that women talk about constantly? I’ve heard it mentioned.

@Darragh: It’s well worth the time.

@Johnny: I believe that.

I used to throw stuff at people who came in to rent the notebook!

Likewise, I was very surprised by this movie. I loved it. It has such a feel good finish. There’s a number of movies that make you feel awkward and you’re just waiting for something bad to happen. Lars stays on the nice side of that line, which means there’s plenty of drama with very little bad feeling. Brilliant!

And yes, Gosling is a genius. Have you seen The Notebook?
