The ‘Love, Actually’ Live-Tweet
On December 20, Kevin sat down to watch the modern holiday classic Love, Actually (recently released on Blu-ray for the first time) with some of his favorite tweeps. This was the first time he had seen the film. Here’s a log, complete with time-code for your home-viewing pleasure.
kevincarr: #loveactuallytweet 01:31 – Hugh Grant: “Love is everywhere.” Especially in a beat-up car with a hooker in an alleyway.
kevincarr: #loveactuallytweet 02:30 – Bill Nighy’s shirt looks like Bill Cosby’s sweater puked it up .
kevincarr: #loveactuallytweet 03:00 – That was the best stream of profanity I’ve ever heard.
kevincarr: #loveactuallytweet 04:00 – “This is shit.” “Yup. Solid gold shit, meatrso.” Awesome.
StellarReviews: #loveactuallytweet I just absolutely LOVE the beginning of LOVE ACTUALLY.
kevincarr: #loveactuallytweet 05:40 – More than one lobster present at the birth of Jesus. Yup, they stood right next to the walrus.
StellarReviews: #loveactuallytweet 5:59 try my lovely nuts. HAHA.
kevincarr: #loveactuallytweet 06:50 – Isn’t that Stacey from “Gavin & Stacey”?
StellarReviews: #loveactuallytweet 7:02 what are best friend’s for? Male whores are bad for an all guy party though… lol
kevincarr: #loveactuallytweet 07:50 – Having just seen THE MORGANS makes me realize how much Hugh Grant has aged over the last 6 years.
StellarReviews: @kevincarr makes me feel old lol #loveactuallytweet
StellarReviews: #loveactuallytweet 8:49 hahaha. That’s so cute. Let’s cuss at the prime minister after he just told you it would be bad lol
kevincarr: #loveactuallytweet 09:00 – So far, this movie has the most adorable use of profanity I’ve ever heard.
StellarReviews: @kevincarr I hate when it’s visibly noticeable the age difference, even in just a few years. #loveactuallytweet
StellarReviews: #loveactuallytweet 10:10 a best friend who lies to you… But at least this one is an awesome lie. =~) (Liars are bad!)
StellarReviews: #loveactuallytweet 11:06 How did no one notice all the instruments? Just curious lol
kevincarr: #loveactuallytweet 11:10 – This present is better than hookers…. but just barely better, cause hookers are awesome.
StellarReviews: #loveactuallytweet 11:40 Obliging girl… Oh you have no idea. Well, now you do.
carcarr819: #loveactuallytweet 12:20 I was actually about to predict that, but the toddler distracted me. Damn!
kevincarr: #loveactuallytweet 12:50 – “Looks like a dead baby’s finger.” That’s what an old girlfriend told me once.
StellarReviews: #loveactuallytweet 13:10 oops. He tries so hard… Poor guy.
kevincarr: #loveactuallytweet 13:35 – This guy’s plan to go to American because they’re easy is so similar to the plot of BRUNO.
kevincarr: #loveactuallytweet 14:35 – Boobies!
StellarReviews: #loveactuallytweet 14:53 Wrong continent… So cute. FYI, chicks love a guy with an accent.
StellarReviews: #loveactuallytweet 14:50 A polite stand in porn star. Who would have thought?
StellarReviews: #loveactuallytweet 15:44 So sad. I love Liam though! He’s such an amazing guy.
StellarReviews: #loveactuallytweet 17:01 that’s an awkward first line to a guy… “Do you love him?” lol
kevincarr: #loveactuallytweet 18:00 – Worst DJ in the world? Perhaps not. I’ve seen some pretty horrid wedding DJs in the Midwest here.
StellarReviews: #loveactuallytweet It’s professor SNAPE. (jk).
carcarr819: #loveactuallytweet 18:12 And there’s Snape!
kevincarr: @StellarReviews By Grapthor’s hammer! #loveactuallytweet
StellarReviews: #loveactuallytweet 19:00 That’s incredibly sad that she knows the exact time she’s been at work to the second & how long she’s been in love.
kevincarr: #loveactuallytweet 19:40 – Sorry. Lots of sex and babies with Laura Linney just doesn’t do it for me.
kevincarr: #loveactuallytweet 20:30 – That’s awesome. Diss a guy right before the interview. I’ve been in that situation.
StellarReviews: #loveactuallytweet 20:51 Bill Nighy doesn’t watch his movies normally. I always wonder about certain actors lol
Siblings_at_Law: #loveactuallytweet Hey guys. Where are we in the movie?
StellarReviews: #loveactuallytweet 23:20 Of course you had to ask who you have to screw… The one you want to.
kevincarr: #loveactuallytweet 23:40 – Couldn’t react to the concept of Bill Nighy banging Britney Spears c. 2003. Spilled my drink. ACk!
StellarReviews: #loveactuallytweet 24:15 I love the enactment of sex and casual conversation.
kevincarr: @StellarReviews I personally love the enactment of conversation and casual sex. #loveactuallytweet
StellarReviews: #loveactuallytweet 25:22 Wisconsin is the fab place to go from GB? LOL.
StellarReviews: LMAO RT @kevincarr: @StellarReviews I personally love the enactment of conversation and casual sex. #loveactuallytweet
kevincarr: #loveactuallytweet 26:00 – “Avoid Kevin if they want their breast left unfondled.” I can’t say that’s the first time I’ve heard that.
StellarReviews: #loveactuallytweet 26:25 I love how she’s not subtle at all… lol would that work for me? haha.
StellarReviews: #loveactuallytweet 28:00 If you cry all the time you won’t get shagged. Just sayin’. Well, that’s what she said.
kevincarr: #loveactuallytweet 28:40 – It would be a ballsy move to have the kid tell him he’s injecting heroin in his eyeballs.
StellarReviews: #loveactuallytweet 29:15 kids start so young these days.
StellarReviews: #loveactuallytweet what happened to cooties? lol
StellarReviews: #loveactuallytweet 30:04 I know most people would find her pathetic, but, hey, what can a girl do? well she could have said more than “nite”
StellarReviews: #loveactuallytweet 31:11 Alone again… Naturally. At least he has a place to go.
StellarReviews: #loveactuallytweet 32:10 What a wait to ask a girl if she’s single lol
kevincarr: #loveactuallytweet 32:20 – Real subtle, Hugh. “you live with your husband or boyfriend?”
StellarReviews: #loveactuallytweet 33:10 I love a guy who trips over his words because he has a crush… Even if he’s the Prime Minister. LOL.
kevincarr: #loveactuallytweet 33:20 – Is that the Picture of Margaret Thatcher in real-time? She looks ancient, even in a painting.
StellarReviews: #loveactuallytweet 33:35 At least he’s okay with his stepson possibly being gay!
carcarr819: #loveactuallytweet 33:42 How forward thinking of dear old dad, to ask she/he?
StellarReviews: #loveactuallytweet 34:50 I love how he has no censor lol. At least he only told the kids how to get drugs and takling about little pricks.
kevincarr: #loveactuallytweet 35:15 – “Don’t buy drugs. Become a pop star, and they give them to you for free.” Hilarious!
StellarReviews: #loveactuallytweet 35:55 I love the picture in the background. So festive.
StellarReviews: #loveactuallytweet 36:50 You’re “mobile” lol
StellarReviews: #loveactuallytweet 37:14 See, dark corners and dark deeds… That’s okay. He has no clue what she meant.
carcarr819: #loveactuallytweet 37:23 Subtle much honey?
kevincarr: #loveactuallytweet 37:25 – Wow. Very subtle. Want to drop a pencil under your desk as well?
kevincarr: #loveactuallytweet 37:55 – That looks like a French Roseanne Barr.
StellarReviews: #loveactuallytweet 38:55 Well at least neither one of them speaks a language they both know.
StellarReviews: #loveactuallytweet 39:38 haha when in doubt, just start singing randomly.
kevincarr: #loveactuallytweet 40:00 – U! S! A! U! S! A!
StellarReviews: #loveactuallytweet 40:00 Oh Billy Bob… Do they truly think of our President as a bully and a sex fiend… Nevermind.
kevincarr: #loveactuallytweet 40:35 – Billy Bob Thronton as the President? Never. Waaaaaay too ugly.
StellarReviews: #loveactuallytweet 41:48 anything you want… except… anything.
carcarr819: #loveactuallytweet @kevincarr Yet he’s supposed to be suave and charming? Soft-spoken, maybe. Charming, not so much!
Anaria: @kevincarr: #loveactuallytweet I think that’s a great movie, all except the fake f*@cking couple, who serves no purpose to the story.
StellarReviews: #loveactuallytweet 42:10 Clearly, she wasn’t doing anything… She can’t exactly hit the President lol
kevincarr: #loveactuallytweet 42:20 – Well, apparently the President doesn’t think Natalie is too fat.
carcarr819: #loveactuallytweet 42:40 Now he’s just gone and pissed off the PM. Way to go America!
StellarReviews: #loveactuallytweet 43:42 I already said Harry Potter lol
kevincarr: #loveactuallytweet 44:20 – Billy Bob’s purple tie matches his lipstick.
StellarReviews: #loveactuallytweet 44:44 Yea, if my brother was the Prime Minister I might feel a little out done too lol
kevincarr: #loveactuallytweet 45:10-The stories starting to overlap. I think Paul Haggis took out the Christmas and added racism, then called it CRASH.
StellarReviews: #loveactuallytweet 45:25 hahaha The barbies should have been named Dominatrix and Transvestite lol
StellarReviews: #loveactuallytweet 46:31 There’s no coming back from that. What did he expect? haha.
kevincarr: #loveactuallytweet 46:40 – Like Tony Blair never danced alone in his office.
kevincarr: #loveactuallytweet 47:40 – A typewriter???? Is this guy Amish or something?
StellarReviews: #loveactuallytweet 48:00 Yea, just leave it while I stare at you undressing. OH GOD SHE’S IN… lmao
kevincarr: #loveactuallytweet 48:15 – Lower back tatoo… Portuguese score!
Siblings_at_Law: #loveactuallytweet Isn’t this movie great?
StellarReviews: #loveactuallytweet 48:32 The side dive in the pool was great! At least they are thinking the same thing.
carcarr819: #loveactuallytweet 49:10 “I really must do copies?” How about “I really must do laptop.”
kevincarr: #loveactuallytweet 51:00 – The Colin Firth story is very sweet. Tho in real life, she’d be talking about they guy she really likes.
StellarReviews: #loveactuallytweet 52:58 I’m trying to lie so stop rummaging through my things before you find it.
kevincarr: #loveactuallytweet 53:15 – And now videotape. These people are Amish.
StellarReviews: #loveactuallytweet 54:02 She’s kinda slow, just sayin’. I’m really oblivious to things like that, but, even I would have caught it.
StellarReviews: #loveactuallytweet 54:50 and here is our Captain Obvious line for the movie.
kevincarr: #loveactuallytweet 55:10 – It’s a good thing she didn’t find all the photoshopped fake porno photos he made.
StellarReviews: #loveactuallytweet 55:35 usually when a guy doesn’t like you, it mean he does. Well, usually. Unless he truly hates you lol
StellarReviews: #loveactuallytweet 56:40 One of my favorite songs! I love the freak out in front of other people.
kevincarr: #loveactuallytweet 57:00 – You know what this movie needs… a side plot of sparkly vampires. That’s what true love is all about.
StellarReviews: #loveactuallytweet 57:46 what’s with her weight? lol. Yea, kick her away from you when you don’t even know the truth. Typical!
kevincarr: #loveactuallytweet 57:55 – Does anyone else who is not in this movie refuse to believe that Natalie is chubby?
StellarReviews: #loveactuallytweet 59:20 Awww he’s so young to be so heart broken. But, of course they’d play TITANIC lol
kevincarr: #loveactuallytweet 59:20 – Not to knock TITANIC, but this isn’t the movie I’d show my sons when they are heartbroken.
StellarReviews: #loveactuallytweet 1:00:25 You kicked her out, what did you expect? lol
kevincarr: #loveactuallytweet 1:02:10 – Wait… is he just dropping her off in the ghetto??? Is she homeless or something?
carcarr819: #loveactuallytweet 1:02:30 If he’s driving her home, he’s dropping her off and then making her walk the rest of the way? WTF ?
StellarReviews: #loveactuallytweet 1:02:44 The kiss didn’t look that good… Oh well. ;~)
kevincarr: #loveactuallytweet 1:02:50 – Nice Robert Palmer reference.]
kevincarr: #loveactuallytweet 1:04:00 – I will never let my kids play drums. Too small of a house for that.
StellarReviews: #loveactuallytweet 1:04:20 Yea, that’s dedication. That’s when you know you love a girl lol
StellarReviews: #loveactuallytweet 1:05:22 You walked right into an affair. Lemme dance with you when I haven’t even danced with my wife.
kevincarr: #loveactuallytweet 1:05:30 – I think this girl could stick her tongue in his nostril, and he still wouldn’t get that she’s coming on to him.
kevincarr: #loveactuallytweet 1:07;15 – Song change from fast to slow. Been in that awkward position.
StellarReviews: #loveactuallytweet 1:08:00 well at least after all this time she finally gets a dance. And he started it.
StellarReviews: #loveactuallytweet 1:09:19 10 seconds is quick! She went from never speaking to inviting him to her room. lol
StellarReviews: #loveactuallytweet 1:10:20 Just get my clothes off already!
kevincarr: #loveactuallytweet 1;10:20 – Oh my god! She’s having sex with Xerxes!
StellarReviews: #loveactuallytweet That’s what happens when you are sexually frustrated I suppose lol
Siblings_at_Law: #loveactuallytweet I am predicting a happy ending.
StellarReviews: #loveactuallytweet 1:11:20 No, of course I’m not busy while I am on top of a guy.
kevincarr: #loveactuallytweet 1:11:25 – Of all the ladies in this movie, Laura Linney was the last i wanted to see naked.
carcarr819: #loveactuallytweet 1:11:34 “No, I’m not busy” OUCH!
Siblings_at_Law: #loveactuallytweet Where is Xerxes’ make-up?
carcarr819: #loveactuallytweet 1:13:05 Okay, turn the damn phone off already!
StellarReviews: #loveactuallytweet 1:13:30 Of course, I’m still not busy and I’ll be right there while the man I’ve been in love with is finally in my room.
carcarr819: #loveactuallytweet 1:16:30 And why doesn’t he just tell her to keep it in her pants? He is the boss after all.
StellarReviews: #loveactuallytweet 1:17:15 So wrong.
Siblings_at_Law: #loveactuallytweet I get it – Billy Bob Thornton is George W. Bush.
kevincarr: #loveactuallytweet 1:18:10 – Yes! Rowan Atkinson!
carcarr819: #loveactuallytweet 1:18:09 Mr. Bean!!
StellarReviews: #loveactuallytweet 1:18:21 Why would I give my wife, the woman who birthed my children a necklace? Nope, definitely the hot assistant.
StellarReviews: #loveactuallytweet 1:18:24 Although, this would be a great way to get caught or have the wife take the gift.. ;~)
Siblings_at_Law: #loveactuallytweet I bet Tiger Woods got some ideas from this movie.
kevincarr: #loveactuallytweet 1:21:10 – I was totally sucked into the gift-wrapping scene. That was awesome.
StellarReviews: #loveactuallytweet 1:21:20 I love how he’s nervous while they are naked and have their faces in each other’s fun spots.
kevincarr: #loveactuallytweet 1;21:30 – Do they have lighting stand-ins for porn stars for real? I know they have fluffers, but stand-ins?
StellarReviews: @kevincarr #loveactuallytweet one of me favorite scenes! LOL
kevincarr: #loveactuallytweet 1:22:00 – “Ringo rules”??? I’m not a Beatles man, but even I know that’s crazy talk.
kevincarr: #loveactuallytweet 1:23:15 – She is so getting a scarf for Christmas.
kevincarr: #loveactuallytweet 1:23:30 – “On the shag highway, heading west”??? I live in the shag highway, and it’s not a shag highway.
StellarReviews: #loveactuallytweet 1:23:35 Shag highway to Wisconsin? LOL.
carcarr819: #loveactuallytweet 1:23:53 And he flies into Milwaukee for his big scam of debauchery? Didn’t do much research, did he?
kevincarr: #loveactuallytweet 1:24:35 – There’s January Jones, @Siblings_at_Law.
Siblings_at_Law: #loveactuallytweet Elisha Cuthbert!
kevincarr: #loveactuallytweet 1:25:15 – This Brit better be careful, hittingn on Jack Bauer’s daughter.
StellarReviews: #loveactuallytweet 1:25:30 Chicks totally fall for the accent. BUT, there are never only 3 women, who happen to be hot, in the bar.
kevincarr: #loveactuallytweet 1:25:55 – Methinks this kid’s going to lose a kidney in this whole thing.
kevincarr: @StellarReviews And in Milwaukee, no less. #loveactuallytweet
carcarr819: #loveactuallytweet 1:27:15 I stand corrected.
StellarReviews: #loveactuallytweet 1:27:20 He said go down low. LOL
kevincarr: #loveactuallytweet 1:27:40 – Where are the paper hats? Don’t the British always wear paper hats at Christmas?
StellarReviews: #loveactuallytweet 1:28:13 What a crush… =~(
kevincarr: #loveactuallytweet 1:28:30 – I’m a underpaid movie critic, and even I wouldn’t give @carcarr819 a crummy CD for Christmas.
StellarReviews: #loveactuallytweet 1:33:26 I love how their first kiss is a bit nervous, but they can be fully naked together and it’s okay. LOL
StellarReviews: #loveactuallytweet 1:34:17 I wish I could do that with my family sometimes LOL.
kevincarr: #loveactuallytweet 1:34:40 – I hate uncle Jamie, too. (Just kidding. They should say it in Portuguese to make sure he hears it)
StellarReviews: #loveactuallytweet 1:35:14 Awww that’s sad.
StellarReviews: #loveactuallytweet 1:37:09 THIS is one of my favorite parts of the film. If some guy did that for me… Well, not in this case, but still…
kevincarr: #loveactuallytweet 1:37:35 – Wouldn’t it be awesome if her husband came down saying, “Those carolers sound amazing!”
Siblings_at_Law: #loveactuallytweet Laura Linney is the worst thing about this movie, huh?
kevincarr: #loveactuallytweet 1:38:10 – Hate to break it to you, man, but KKnightly already looks like that now.
kevincarr: #loveactuallytweet 1:39:15 – It looks like someone with a smoker’s hack sneezed on that coat.
StellarReviews: #loveactuallytweet 1:40:35 the love of my life… in a totally non-gay way. How sweet.
kevincarr: #loveactuallytweet 1:41:25 – “Come on. Let’s get pissed and watch porn.” That’s my plans for Christmas Eve.
StellarReviews: #loveactuallytweet 1:42:15 That’s what you get for not even talking to her about it. Boo. my only beef with this part is that she works…
kevincarr: #loveactuallytweet 1:42:50 – The soundtrack to this movie is pretty awesome. A great eclectic mix.
StellarReviews: #loveactuallytweet there so would it really be that hard to an address? But, still, it’s cute anyway he went searching. I’m such a woman
StellarReviews: @carcarr819 haha that’s what I’m saying!!! #loveactuallytweet
kevincarr: #loveactuallytweet 1:44:00 – If Obama came to our house asking is Natalie lived here, I wonder if my kids would…
kevincarr: #loveactuallytweet …A) recognize him, or B) ask him to sing Christmas carols.
StellarReviews: #loveactuallytweet 1:45:09 for those who say I have a dirty mouth… I always point them to her. ;~)
StellarReviews: #loveactuallytweet 1:46:14 The Prime Minister is there and your mother is convincing him you don’t need to go LOL.
kevincarr: @StellarReviews Try cursing in a British accent next time. #loveactuallytweet
StellarReviews: @kevincarr haha maybe I will try that and see what they say than. ;~) #loveactuallytweet
StellarReviews: #loveactuallytweet 1:47:18 Proves that when people say “around the corner” you think at least 5 miles.
StellarReviews: #loveactuallytweet 1:48:22 How did you two meet? Well, you see, we are stand ins for pornstars… Yea, that doesn’t come out right.
StellarReviews: #loveactuallytweet 1:48:45 That’s what you get for being way too nice. Of course, that’s a good quality though in some cases
kevincarr: #loveactuallytweet 1:50:45 – That is the creepiest freaking baby Jesus I have ever seen in my entire life.
kevincarr: #loveactuallytweet 1:51;05 – Is this the Sid & Marty Krofft version of the Christmas story?
carcarr819: #loveactuallytweet 1:51:10 So, who wrote this Christmas play, the kids? Sea creatures in the play? Maybe it’s a british thing?
StellarReviews: #loveactuallytweet 1:52:16 At least he taught himself how to play the drums so if it doesn’t work he can become an alcoholic band memeber
kevincarr: #loveactuallytweet 1:52:30 – So you think this girl is who Lil’ Ringo is hot for?
StellarReviews: @carcarr819 I always wondered the same thing LOL #loveactuallytweet
StellarReviews: #loveactuallytweet 1:54:02 HA HA HA. At least he didn’t pay thousands of dollars to hide it and end up getting caught anyway.
kevincarr: #loveactuallytweet 1:54:20 – Let’s face it… This is not the most compromising position that Hugh Grant has been caught in.
carcarr819: #loveactuallytweet 1:55:05 I’ll take you to find my daughter, got to get rid of one of them.
StellarReviews: #loveactuallytweet 1:55:15 BUSTED. Still sad though. =*(
StellarReviews: #loveactuallytweet 1:57:40 And this is suppose to prove that there is love for everyone even if you had it once…
kevincarr: #loveactuallytweet 1:58:45 – Wrong house. Awesome.
kevincarr: #loveactuallytweet 20:00:20 – It’s a good thing this kid isn’t a terrorist.
StellarReviews: #loveactuallytweet 2:00:27 I love the breaking out and running. lol
kevincarr: #loveactuallytweet 2:01:15 – Homage to THE GRADUATE.
kevincarr: #loveactuallytweet 2:01:50 – That’s way too much Bill Nighy for anyone to experience at any point in his or her life.
kevincarr: #loveactuallytweet 2:02:45 – And that was the third grade equivalent of getting some strange in the airport.
StellarReviews: #loveactuallytweet 2:03:39 For some reason, this was oen of my favorite story lines lol. I love his bad translations.
carcarr819: #loveactuallytweet 2:05:27 Awww! She learned English for him.
kevincarr: #loveactuallytweet 2:06:00 – Again, got sucked into the bad Portuguese translation scene. This is a sweet moment.
StellarReviews: #loveactuallytweet 2:06:52 Love the song. Love the connection. LOVE the movie. ;~)
kevincarr: #loveactuallytweet 2:07:10 – I have to be honest, I do forget who knows who in this story.
Siblings_at_Law: #loveactuallytweet Colin Firth is the man. A single man, actually.
StellarReviews: #loveactuallytweet 2:08:20 There are cowgirls in Wisconsin? hehe jk
kevincarr: #loveactuallytweet 2:08:20 – Seriously, I need to learn a British accent and go to that bar in Wisconsin.
Siblings_at_Law: #loveactuallytweet Everyone in England knows everyone else, Kevin.
carcarr819: #loveactuallytweet 2:08:44 Denise Richards? Isn’t she a little old for this role?
kevincarr: #loveactuallytweet 2:09:00 – This has got to be the most improbable curtain call, but it’s pretty damn awesome.
StellarReviews: 2:09:55 #loveactuallytweet Final Thoughts = Still love LOVE ACTUALLY and one of my favorite Christmas movies. =)
kevincarr: #loveactuallytweet 2:10:00 – And ROLL CREDITS!
Siblings_at_Law: #loveactuallytweet Supposedly this is Tony Blair’s favorite movie.
kevincarr: Final thoughts on LOVE ACTUALLY… Took a bit to get into, but was totally sold by the end. Very adorable. #loveactuallytweet
Siblings_at_Law: #loveactuallytweet This movie had a great cast. England sure does have its share of great actors.
