"I'm a terrible dancer. I need to be really drunk and see a beautiful girl over there. It was a way of getting close to a girl without having to speak because always, whenever I opened my mouth, they would leave. So, dancing was a chance to keep them close."
- Diego Luna

Whoa! Cross-reference above quote with entry dated 7th Jan.
It's a bit dangerous to watch Dirty Dancing 2 because afterwards, every girl in the universe will want to a) go to Cuba b) hit a dance floor where everybody is singing allow me to introduce myself... represent Koo-ba! c) dance the night away with a guy who isn't holding your school satchel because he wants to mug you, no, he's just being gentlemanly. Hah. Only Diego could get away with a stunt like that. According to Mel, he didn't.

"My theory is that if you're an unfortunate fat, ugly or misshapen child up till you're 10, you will always feel like that on some level as an adult... I've got friends who were gorgeous as children but are hideous adults, and they have more confidence then you can imagine."
- Kate Beckinsale

My, my, the mixed messages. Thanks for the tact and compassion, Kate. Let's see if they're still your friends after they read that. Hideous is an extreme word. In fact, I don't know a single person who fits the term "hideous adult". And need she be shocked that they are confident even if they are, under her terms, hideous adults?
After we saw Alfie I was humming exactly one line of the Joss Stone remake over and over - "What's it all abouuut..." and to my extreme shock my dad chimed in, "...ALFIEEEE." "You know that song?" I gasp, incredulous. "Of course I do!" He talked about how people used to sing it for Talentime - the original Talentime, I assume, and I excitedly thought he had seen the original movie. Unfortunately, he had not. He remembers the young Michael Caine, though. I love hearing about the movies in my parents' time. Apparently my mum fell asleep while watching Star Wars: Episode IV.
