That puts a big ol' smile on my face. A big ol' horny smile...

I didn't particularly like the book or the movies. I only saw them because of Colin Firth and Hugh Grant.

The second film is a flaming pile of crap, but I own it anyway, simply because it's a sequel to the first one, which I adore, and because it has Colin Firth, who will be my boyfriend forever simply because he was in Pride and Prejudice. SWOON. That said, it was completely unbelievable (seriously, we're supposed to believe that Bridget's parents wouldn't write her back while she's in a Thai prison becuase they're busy planning to renew their vows? And that Mark wouldn't tell Bridget that his colleague/friend had a crush on her, and instead just let her keep starting fights about him having an affair?).
As much as I love Bridge Jones, I think a third movie sounds like disaster. First of all, there is no book to base it on, so it will be an original (and likely very dumb) screenplay. The second movie was lame, unfunny and they should've kept the original director. The third one is bound to be even worse. And who is to say that Renee, Colin and (inevitably) Hugh will even be willing to sign on and do a third?

And the first movie is also my go-to feel better movie! When I'm feeling particularly down, I bust out the DVD and swoon over Colin Firth.

Ever since I heard that the English think the delightful actress from Love Actually is fat, I've thought they must be pretty screwed up about weight.

I will go see the third, only because I like all three main characters and Bridget's crazy friends.

And honestly, for women in their 40s trying to have a baby, it can be very painful. So making a comedy about it, with a character they can relate to, that will perhaps help them laugh about what they're facing? I don't think it's the worst thing in the world.

She and Darcy get back together after she finds out that the strange girl was actually going to perform a singing telegram as part of a Very Special Anniversary present.
Oh, she had a baby? Well, let's just say the baby can talk and we'll get John Travolta to do the voice.
Done. PAYCHECK, PLZ?

Also everyone needs to pay the bills but these chicks that keep acting in these tired old female cliche chick flicks should be ashamed of themselves.

It's the fetishizing of Zellweger packing on the pounds (and then melting them off! unlike mere mortals! omg!) that Dodai's objecting to. So Dodai has a point.

This is wrong.
Make it stop.
I snarked about this the other day, and now wish I hadn't.
