God Only Knows


is it, in fact, the best Beach Boys song?

You might be right. Seems like it can go on forever and I still don't want it to end. And speaking of "God Only Knows", is _Love Actually_ the best romcom ever?

i've not seen Love Actually; is God Only Knows part of the soundtrack?

pyker said...

Yes, it's used at the closing sequence to good effect.

And you should definitely watch Love Actually! I don't have much patience for romcoms, but this one combines what otherwise would have been half a dozen movies into a single greatest hits extravaganza. And it puts this all in the context of a christmas movie, so it gets away with a bit more fantasy than you'd otherwise stomach. There are a few tiny little moments that are just about perfect. And if that's still not enticing, let me just say that it is worth repeated viewings *solely* for the performance of Bill Nighy.

i've added it to my netflix list. #2 after Michael Clayton.

in other news, we watched the Descent on blu-ray the other night. i'd forgotten how intense shauna mcdonald is in that film.
