  10. Talk about wishful thinking on Hugh’s part! LOL
    Thank you for a good laugh to help me end the night. Now an old episode of Highlander and it’s sweet dreams for me.

  13. In my (more twisted) vernacular, “FTW” means something very different – and, in this case, my version of the acronym almost makes sense…
    For those who can’t follow, it means “(verb) The World”.

  20. Mad Monk – I think it’s a frame from that film where he played a washed up hack 80’s pop star. I seem to remember excruciating contact embarrassment while he boogies around his apartment. Although that could be most HG movies.
    Now for something completely different: Super Obama World!

    My work day is doomed.

  22. Looks like a screen-grab from “Music and Lyrics,” which was actually a decent date movie. Picture Hugh Grant playing an aging, has-been 80’s pop star (literally, the name of the fictional band is “Pop!”) with a sarcastic sense of humor.

  23. Looks more like a screen grab from “Love, Actually” where he’s dancing around #10 Downing St.
    It must be my frakked up eyes, but the first time I saw this image, I thought it was Michael J. Fox!

  24. Please don’t take my geek card away… I only own eight chick flicks out of the dozens in my rack. No of course they are not alphabetized within each genre… don’t be absurd. They are organized into actor collections. No I don’t have a book in which they are all listed [innocently whistles herself around a corner]. Drew Barrymore is the only reason I own this movie.. and Brad Garrett.
    This is from Music and Lyrics where he is rehersing with Cora’s choreographer… trying to convince them (the guy and the dancers) that the smoother retro 80’s moves are the way to go for the song that he wrote for her while the choreographer is trying to get more “Nasty Jackson” out of him. I think the smoother retro moves are why, according to the pop up video bubbles, he does not have a new hip.
    I failed the tomboy save, I know, but again please don’t take my geek card. I promise I will be good from now on…
    If I tell you about German station cafe80’s can I still play?

  27. Sorry Wil,
    I guess I have to be the sour grape, but I see NOTHING FUNNY about using a backdrop of a disaster in which 36 people died. I suppose I could have put Hugh Grant next to a pic of the flaming World Trade Center and made a joke too, but my judgement would have prevented that. Take a look at that backdrop one more time, in some of the stills available you can see the passangers leaping out of the balloon in terror.
    There is a reason “Oh the humanity” is an iconic picture and moment in time and its not a good one.
    Sorry Wil.

  29. I am afraid I am going to have to agree with bmresearch on this one… I love your quirky sense of humor, Wil, and 99.4% of the time I am right there with you, but when I saw this I blanched a bit…
    There is no statute of limitation on a horrific disaster that killed any number of people. Humor that glorifies such things is just not funny — imagine a picture of Hugh buggering a concentration camp resident, and you’ll understand how this makes me feel. Now… photoshop Hugh buggering a Nazi, and I’ll LMAO 🙂

  32. I think I’m with M K Glass on this on. ”
