Me, too. I was just thinking a couple days ago that it's been a while since hearing from Julius, and hoping all was well. > is "about a boy" a movie too? i seem to recall seeing it in the video > store...has anyone seen it? recommend it? I think it's Hugh Grant's best performance. His timing is perfect as always and he's still doing the crinkle face fluttering eyelash moves. In "About a Boy" that's to a minimum, though, and there are some extremely subtle and very touching moments in addition to the humor. One of my favorite bits early on was when the main character is being given a talking to by his friends, who are saying something like, "we know you're not really so callow, that underneath what you show there's a person of substance..." And his response was, "oh, no, I really am that superficial." Ya gotta love a guy who's so honest about himself. And the music was enjoyable, too. All new (I think) songs by Badly Drawn Boy written for the movie. It's one of those "want to own" movies for me. Debra Shea
