The Annual Trout Nation Love, Actually Watch Along

Posted in Uncategorized

Do you hear those sleigh bells ringing? Just kidding, it’s your doorbell, and Rick Grimes is here to inappropriately express his love to your wife.

Andrew Lincoln in Love, Actually, holding up a sign for Kiera Knightly, but the sign has been changed from "to me you are perfect" to "have you seen Carl?".
Yes, Rick, we have seen Carl.

 

Carl from Love, Actually
He’s part of the worst plot line of the entire movie, yo.

Yes, it’s that time of year again, when we watch the movie you always put on in front of your kids or parents because you remember it being pretty safe, but you forgot all the scenes where naked Bilbo Baggins simulates sex with an equally nude blond girl.

It is time for us all to watch Love, Actually.

This year, just like last year, there will be two chances to join in the fun. I did three slots one year to cover as many time zones as possible, but I was up for like twenty-four hours straight. If anyone from another time zone wants to set up their own watch along, put it in the comments!

So, grab some popcorn and tweet to #BillyMack as we revel in our annual holiday tradition of watching the movie I once described as “a warm, snuggly blanket for my internalized misogyny.”
