Random Movie Thought

Love, Actually was on HBO tonight. I love, actually, the movie - especially the opening lines by Hugh Grant as we watch scenes of people reuniting at an airport: "General opinion is starting to make out that we live in a world of hatred and greed. But I don't see that. It seems to me that love is everywhere. Often it's not particularly dignified or newsworthy. Fathers and sons, mothers and daughters, husbands and wives, boyfriends, girlfriends, old friends. When the planes hit the twin towers as far as I know none of the phone calls from the people on board were messages of hate or revenge. They were all messages of love. If you look for it I've got a sneaky feeling that you'll actually find that Love . . . Actually . . . Is All Around"
