So Bridget jones Diary was written by Helen Fielding, 158 00:07:17.040 --> 00:07:20.920 Andrew Davies and Richard Curtis from Fielding's nineteen ninety six 159 00:07:21.000 --> 00:07:23.759 novel of the same name. It's a fast turnaround from 160 00:07:23.879 --> 00:07:27.480 novel to optioned to movie to released. 161 00:07:27.560 --> 00:07:29.639 I read this book. I loved this book all right. 162 00:07:29.680 --> 00:07:30.879 Yeah when it came out. 163 00:07:31.319 --> 00:07:34.920 It was directed by Sharon Maguire and stars Renee Zellweger 164 00:07:35.040 --> 00:07:38.959 Colin Firth, Hugh Grant, Jim Broadbent, and Jemma Jones. 165 00:07:39.720 --> 00:07:43.399 Bridget Jones Diary was nominated for one Academy Award Best 166 00:07:43.519 --> 00:07:46.600 Actress for Renees Elwiger. WHOA, I didn't know that. 167 00:07:46.720 --> 00:07:49.759 I'd forgotten that this was the height of Zelwegger. Wow. 168 00:07:50.399 --> 00:07:52.600 I do love when like comedies get their due. 169 00:07:52.680 --> 00:07:54.959 Yeah, but she very bravely did gain twenty pounds for 170 00:07:54.959 --> 00:07:56.439 the role Erica. We must remember. 171 00:07:56.639 --> 00:07:58.399 Yeah, but you know, but the person she lost to 172 00:07:58.519 --> 00:08:01.120 is Holly Berry from Monsters, And. 173 00:08:01.439 --> 00:08:02.560 There's more bravery there. 174 00:08:02.560 --> 00:08:04.519 There's a little slightly more bravery there. I think she 175 00:08:04.600 --> 00:08:05.360 went without makeup. 176 00:08:05.480 --> 00:08:07.680 She went without makeup even then, and I'm. 177 00:08:07.639 --> 00:08:10.079 I'm a completist. I was like, that looks like a bummer. 178 00:08:10.360 --> 00:08:13.399 It's like a real drag. I can't watch that. Bridget 179 00:08:13.480 --> 00:08:16.800 Jones Diary spawned a film series with sequels Bridget Jones 180 00:08:16.800 --> 00:08:20.040 The Edge of Reason and Bridget Jones Baby following the original, 181 00:08:20.160 --> 00:08:23.639 making it the first movie trilogy directed exclusively by women. 182 00:08:23.800 --> 00:08:24.879 Oh hell yeah. 183 00:08:24.920 --> 00:08:27.839 Another sequel, Bridget Jones Mad About the Boy, is set 184 00:08:27.879 --> 00:08:30.959 to be released in twenty twenty five, but sadly will 185 00:08:31.000 --> 00:08:32.639 be directed by a man. 186 00:08:32.480 --> 00:08:35.639 By a Manly You know what. That's men can direct 187 00:08:35.679 --> 00:08:37.559 things to you. Guys, they can, it can't. 188 00:08:37.559 --> 00:08:39.600 It's not. It doesn't have to be a woman every time. 189 00:08:39.759 --> 00:08:43.279 Yeah, like some guys have maybe even have good ideas 190 00:08:43.360 --> 00:08:44.200 every once in a while. 191 00:08:44.399 --> 00:08:50.080 Sometimes a man can be useful sometimes sometimes not always sometimes. 192 00:08:50.360 --> 00:08:51.759 I saw the first two films. 193 00:08:51.799 --> 00:08:53.879 I did not see Bridget Jones's Baby, This movie that 194 00:08:53.919 --> 00:08:56.200 we're gonna talk about today, I really love. The next 195 00:08:56.200 --> 00:08:59.000 one is diminishing returns, I think, sure, So I wouldn't 196 00:08:59.039 --> 00:09:02.279 necessarily recommend end watching the sequels. Okay, maybe the third 197 00:09:02.279 --> 00:09:03.840 one's great and I'm missing out. 198 00:09:03.679 --> 00:09:05.039 But you read the second book, and you like the 199 00:09:05.039 --> 00:09:05.519 second book. 200 00:09:05.799 --> 00:09:07.000 I did love the second book. 201 00:09:07.120 --> 00:09:10.279 Yeah, yeah. I also think it's interesting that this is 202 00:09:10.320 --> 00:09:14.399 a rom com sequel, So the happily ever after at 203 00:09:14.440 --> 00:09:16.879 the end of this movie does not hold because it 204 00:09:16.960 --> 00:09:19.480 remains a rom com. So, like, I think it's interesting 205 00:09:19.519 --> 00:09:21.039 to do a sequel to a rom com and then 206 00:09:21.159 --> 00:09:25.759 like show the obvious, very big problems these two people 207 00:09:25.759 --> 00:09:26.120 would have. 208 00:09:26.399 --> 00:09:28.960 Yeah, they are polar opposite. 209 00:09:28.600 --> 00:09:32.240 Polar opposite people, and like they respect each other's I 210 00:09:32.279 --> 00:09:34.559 think honesty about who they are. I think that's what 211 00:09:34.720 --> 00:09:37.679 actually binds them together. I think it's interesting to do 212 00:09:37.720 --> 00:09:39.360 that because a lot of the big problems of the 213 00:09:39.399 --> 00:09:41.759 rom com comes in and then you're like, but these 214 00:09:41.799 --> 00:09:43.840 people would hate each other in two months, and they're like, okay, 215 00:09:43.919 --> 00:09:45.480 let's show that. Yeah. 216 00:09:45.559 --> 00:09:47.639 Honestly, I was thinking about this this morning if I 217 00:09:47.639 --> 00:09:49.840 were Helen Fielding and maybe she did pitch this and 218 00:09:49.879 --> 00:09:52.399 people were like, no, it's too highbrow, but like, you know, 219 00:09:52.440 --> 00:09:54.360 this is Pride and Prejudice. This book, so like the 220 00:09:54.399 --> 00:09:57.200 second book would have been Emma r Bridget Jones turns 221 00:09:57.200 --> 00:10:00.759 into Emma although she now has her love interest, so 222 00:10:00.759 --> 00:10:03.519 that's sort of elighted. But I don't know, or another 223 00:10:03.559 --> 00:10:07.000 one like another another, like classic novel of some sort. 224 00:10:07.120 --> 00:10:10.159 You are pitching a film series that someone absolutely would 225 00:10:10.159 --> 00:10:12.720 have would have been let in like nineteen ninety eight. Yeah, 226 00:10:12.799 --> 00:10:14.080 I don't know if we can get it past now. 227 00:10:14.159 --> 00:10:15.120 I don't think we can do it now. 228 00:10:15.200 --> 00:10:17.960 Yeah, unfortunately, But yeah, that's that would have been interesting 229 00:10:17.960 --> 00:10:20.399 because that's I like that. I really like the like 230 00:10:20.919 --> 00:10:23.039 the analog to Pride and Prejudice in this. It makes 231 00:10:23.080 --> 00:10:25.480 me laugh, Like the little tiny things they put in 232 00:10:25.519 --> 00:10:27.879 for folks who really enjoy Pride and Prejudice excellent well, 233 00:10:27.879 --> 00:10:29.519 you don't have to know that story at all to 234 00:10:29.639 --> 00:10:30.360 enjoy the film. 235 00:10:30.360 --> 00:10:32.440 I don't really I saw the movie once, but I 236 00:10:32.440 --> 00:10:36.000 don't really know the story, and I enjoy this movie. 237 00:10:36.080 --> 00:10:36.320 Yeah. 238 00:10:36.360 --> 00:10:36.600 Great. 239 00:10:36.919 --> 00:10:38.200 You know who else enjoyed this movie? 240 00:10:38.200 --> 00:10:38.679 Paul Yep. 241 00:10:38.840 --> 00:10:39.440 The critics. 242 00:10:39.480 --> 00:10:43.240 Okay, Bridget Jones Diary has an eighty percent critical rating 243 00:10:43.279 --> 00:10:46.120 on Rotten Tomatoes and an eighty one audience score. 244 00:10:46.600 --> 00:10:48.320 It weirdly as a seventy. 245 00:10:47.919 --> 00:10:50.320 On chair Well, okay, not weirdly. We will talk about that. 246 00:10:50.440 --> 00:10:53.159 It doesn't age super well. By the way I said earlier, 247 00:10:53.200 --> 00:10:55.000 I loved that second book. That second book has some 248 00:10:55.000 --> 00:10:57.480 stuff that does not age well. And if you're like, oh, 249 00:10:57.679 --> 00:10:59.279 Erica loves that book, I should read it, And then 250 00:10:59.320 --> 00:11:01.120 you're like, oh, slightly racist. 251 00:11:01.480 --> 00:11:02.720 I know that's in there. 252 00:11:02.840 --> 00:11:04.440 I do, I do. I'm aware. 253 00:11:04.519 --> 00:11:05.039 I'm aware. 254 00:11:05.360 --> 00:11:08.080 It's just it's still it's still sort of funny to me. 255 00:11:10.039 --> 00:11:12.200 But yeah, it's the seventy percent on cherry Picks. 256 00:11:12.240 --> 00:11:12.759 What do you think? 257 00:11:13.000 --> 00:11:15.120 I think that's about right. I can see why it 258 00:11:15.159 --> 00:11:17.200 dips when we only take the women into account. There's 259 00:11:17.240 --> 00:11:22.240 some potential, maybe a little internalized misogyny somewhere happening in here. 260 00:11:22.679 --> 00:11:25.600 I think maybe a little bit, because like I'm sure 261 00:11:25.600 --> 00:11:28.480 everyone our age and perhaps young a little bit younger 262 00:11:28.519 --> 00:11:31.039 remembers like when this came out, it was like Renees 263 00:11:31.120 --> 00:11:33.279 zel Wegger gained twenty pounds And there's a couple of 264 00:11:33.279 --> 00:11:34.799 times in the movie where they talk about how she's 265 00:11:34.840 --> 00:11:37.639 not thin. Yeah, to be clear, Renee zell Begger when 266 00:11:37.679 --> 00:11:40.919 additional twenty pounds on her is still cuts quite a figure. 267 00:11:41.080 --> 00:11:43.039 She looks gorgeous in those scenes are like she's in 268 00:11:43.039 --> 00:11:43.919 her underwear. 269 00:11:43.639 --> 00:11:44.399 She looks great. 270 00:11:44.600 --> 00:11:47.399 Oh I know, I'm like, damn girl, well done. 271 00:11:47.600 --> 00:11:51.960 Yeah, and I think that perhaps could turn off some ladies, 272 00:11:52.000 --> 00:11:54.279 which I completely understand. Yeah, I would probably give it 273 00:11:54.320 --> 00:11:57.639 like a seventy five. I think the constraints of a 274 00:11:57.759 --> 00:12:00.519 rom com come in and kind of push it down 275 00:12:00.519 --> 00:12:03.799 a little bit. Sometimes it gets a little contrived at 276 00:12:03.840 --> 00:12:06.279 certain points, which is fine. I don't I'm not criticizing 277 00:12:06.279 --> 00:12:08.200 it really, but it just doesn't make it a transcendent 278 00:12:08.279 --> 00:12:10.759 movie for me. Yeah, what about you? Ninety ninety? I 279 00:12:10.840 --> 00:12:11.600 give it a ninety. 280 00:12:11.679 --> 00:12:14.720 I really do think it's a really smart adaptation of 281 00:12:14.759 --> 00:12:15.279 a classic. 282 00:12:15.639 --> 00:12:17.600 I think they did a great job updating it. I 283 00:12:17.679 --> 00:12:20.720 totally get why some of the humor doesn't age well 284 00:12:21.039 --> 00:12:21.559 in this one. 285 00:12:21.639 --> 00:12:23.759 The second one, the humor doesn't age well in another. 286 00:12:23.480 --> 00:12:25.279 Way, and I again. 287 00:12:25.240 --> 00:12:26.559 That's a whole other episode. 288 00:12:26.759 --> 00:12:30.039 But in this one, I actually think it's it's a 289 00:12:30.159 --> 00:12:35.639 comment on like the internalized misogyny and like just the 290 00:12:35.679 --> 00:12:38.120 way they feel about themselves. And I think the conversation 291 00:12:38.360 --> 00:12:42.440 surrounding the movie when it was coming out changed people's 292 00:12:42.480 --> 00:12:45.960 perspective on the film. Yeah, and like made people sour 293 00:12:46.039 --> 00:12:48.720 on the film prematurely, because if you just take it 294 00:12:48.759 --> 00:12:51.960 at face value without like I mean, I'm not kidding 295 00:12:51.960 --> 00:12:53.879 if you weren't alive back then or weren't paying attention 296 00:12:53.919 --> 00:12:56.799 back then, like if you were too young. The fucking 297 00:12:57.000 --> 00:13:02.120 amount of media coverage of Reneise Zelwegger gaining weight for 298 00:13:02.159 --> 00:13:05.200 this movie and people calling her fat and chubbo and 299 00:13:05.240 --> 00:13:09.120 blah blah blah, and like, yeah, that was a nightmare. 300 00:13:09.200 --> 00:13:11.840 I felt so bad for Renaise Elwiger at the time, 301 00:13:12.120 --> 00:13:13.519 and at the same time, I was like, she's not 302 00:13:13.600 --> 00:13:16.000 fucking fat, you guys. She went from one hundred and 303 00:13:16.039 --> 00:13:19.559 five to one hundred and twenty pounds. Yeah, like shut up, literally, 304 00:13:19.639 --> 00:13:22.480 But when you take into account the character and the 305 00:13:22.559 --> 00:13:25.000 character's view on herself and how it's like a parody 306 00:13:25.039 --> 00:13:26.559 of self improvement culture. 307 00:13:26.879 --> 00:13:28.519 I take it back, I actually think the movie ages 308 00:13:28.559 --> 00:13:28.879 quite well. 309 00:13:28.960 --> 00:13:31.879 Yeah, that's an interesting perspective because I had thought about 310 00:13:31.879 --> 00:13:34.159 that a little bit. I think that's something for a 311 00:13:34.200 --> 00:13:35.840 woman to say, not a man say. 312 00:13:36.240 --> 00:13:39.720 I'll let you have an opinion this time. But yeah, 313 00:13:39.759 --> 00:13:42.320 the toxic conversation around this movie. 314 00:13:42.000 --> 00:13:45.159 Was awful well because I also when I was watching it, 315 00:13:45.639 --> 00:13:47.960 I was like, well, maybe maybe Helen Fielding, who I 316 00:13:48.000 --> 00:13:51.080 presume like wrote this book, maybe she is like a 317 00:13:51.120 --> 00:13:54.279 woman who is a little less stereotypically beautiful than renees Elwegger, 318 00:13:54.360 --> 00:13:56.720 Like maybe, And then you know, Hollywood gets the movie 319 00:13:56.720 --> 00:13:58.519 and they cast like you put glasses on a woman 320 00:13:58.519 --> 00:14:01.000 into suddenly she's hideous, right Like then they looked at 321 00:14:01.000 --> 00:14:02.919 Hell and feeling I'm like, this bitch looks like Kim Control. 322 00:14:03.799 --> 00:14:07.960 This bitch is so gorgeous. And it was interesting to 323 00:14:07.960 --> 00:14:11.279 be like, Okay, so a woman who looks like that. 324 00:14:11.639 --> 00:14:12.320 Still feels that. 325 00:14:12.320 --> 00:14:13.279 It feels that way. 326 00:14:13.399 --> 00:14:15.559 That's where I think it's kind of That's the where 327 00:14:15.559 --> 00:14:17.600 I think it agedes well, and kind of it gets 328 00:14:17.600 --> 00:14:21.600 to like a truth that is not universally universally acknowledged. 329 00:14:21.799 --> 00:14:24.919 Yeah, all right, Erica, when did you first see Bridget Jones's. 330 00:14:24.600 --> 00:14:26.399 Diary Opening fucking weekends? 331 00:14:26.480 --> 00:14:28.320 Opening weekend and you were sat? 332 00:14:28.480 --> 00:14:30.799 I was in. Well, I mean, I'm the I'm the 333 00:14:30.840 --> 00:14:31.720 target audience for this. 334 00:14:31.759 --> 00:14:33.320 I read the book. I really liked it. I love 335 00:14:33.360 --> 00:14:36.519 Pride and Prejudice. Like I could not be more the 336 00:14:36.559 --> 00:14:38.720 target audience for this. The fact that they cast Colin 337 00:14:38.759 --> 00:14:41.519 Firth to play the Darcy role was such a coup 338 00:14:41.600 --> 00:14:42.080 at the time. 339 00:14:42.120 --> 00:14:44.480 I remember, I remember that. Yeah, like, do you know. 340 00:14:44.480 --> 00:14:47.159 That in the book she is constantly watching the BBC 341 00:14:47.600 --> 00:14:51.200 Pride and Prejudice with him in it, and they like 342 00:14:51.279 --> 00:14:53.519 refer to Colin Firth as like the hottest man on Earth. 343 00:14:53.639 --> 00:14:56.440 Oh really obviously had to take it out for the movie, 344 00:14:56.679 --> 00:14:57.879 but like that he. 345 00:14:57.919 --> 00:14:59.399 Is a plot point in the book. 346 00:15:01.720 --> 00:15:02.320 That is a coup. 347 00:15:02.519 --> 00:15:05.080 That is great casting. Yeah, that is a coup. So yeah, 348 00:15:05.120 --> 00:15:06.840 I could not be more of the target audience for this. 349 00:15:06.919 --> 00:15:07.759 And I have seen it. 350 00:15:08.360 --> 00:15:11.399 I don't know fifty times, I've seen it a lot. Yeah, 351 00:15:11.480 --> 00:15:12.000 how about you. 352 00:15:12.240 --> 00:15:14.759 I definitely saw it in theaters. I remember really liking 353 00:15:14.759 --> 00:15:19.039 it and thinking it was very charming, and again we 354 00:15:19.120 --> 00:15:23.759 cannot overstate the discussion of weight, which it's not absent 355 00:15:23.799 --> 00:15:25.480 in the movie, Like, there definitely is stuff about her 356 00:15:25.519 --> 00:15:29.080 weight in the movie. But what I was expecting, based 357 00:15:29.120 --> 00:15:32.120 on my memory having seen it like once in two 358 00:15:32.120 --> 00:15:34.360 thousand and five and one two thousand and one, whenever 359 00:15:34.399 --> 00:15:36.799 it was right, and then in the intervening years go by, 360 00:15:37.000 --> 00:15:40.080 I was expecting this to have someone calling her a 361 00:15:40.120 --> 00:15:43.919 fat cow every single scene. That's that in my memory, 362 00:15:43.919 --> 00:15:47.320 That's what it was.

He's the parents have 1242 00:53:32.079 --> 00:53:34.559 essentially broken up and the father is living alone and 1243 00:53:34.599 --> 00:53:37.559 he's just miserable and depressed without her mother. And he's 1244 00:53:37.599 --> 00:53:41.440 watching Pamela on TV as Julian's assistant. Pamela is apparently 1245 00:53:41.559 --> 00:53:44.559 carrying on an affair with Julian, and half their friends 1246 00:53:44.599 --> 00:53:46.360 have had them around for dinner at this point. 1247 00:53:46.519 --> 00:53:47.280 That's awful. 1248 00:53:47.400 --> 00:53:50.159 Pamela is so mean to I mean, it's kind of 1249 00:53:50.239 --> 00:53:53.239 a joke, right, like Pamela Everything Pamela does because she's 1250 00:53:53.320 --> 00:53:57.559 so like, she's so ridiculous that it's funny and it's kind. 1251 00:53:57.480 --> 00:53:57.920 Of a joke. 1252 00:53:58.000 --> 00:54:01.239 But if you really take the situation at face value, 1253 00:54:01.679 --> 00:54:03.559 I cannot believe Colin takes her back. 1254 00:54:03.679 --> 00:54:05.719 There's a line that she has later where she's like, 1255 00:54:05.840 --> 00:54:09.119 you know, she's the odd woman out. Bridget is very 1256 00:54:09.159 --> 00:54:11.039 close to Colin and she and she's always out in 1257 00:54:11.079 --> 00:54:13.239 the cold, and I'm like, you had bumped that up 1258 00:54:13.920 --> 00:54:15.280 so we could see that a little bit more.

So Bridget suggests that Colin 1264 00:54:30.960 --> 00:54:34.519 and she go to Uncle Jeffrey's upcoming quote unquote Tarts 1265 00:54:34.639 --> 00:54:37.519 and Vicker's costume party.

Bridget and Daniel arrive at a small inn where 1313 00:56:29.159 --> 00:56:31.480 all the rooms are booked for a wedding except theirs 1314 00:56:31.920 --> 00:56:34.599 and one other, which turned out to be Marx, who 1315 00:56:34.679 --> 00:56:37.039 has arrived with Natasha and will also be attending the 1316 00:56:37.119 --> 00:56:39.880 Tarts and Vicars party. The chill between the two men 1317 00:56:40.000 --> 00:56:43.559 is a parent, and Bridget supports Daniel by barely acknowledging Mark. 1318 00:56:43.679 --> 00:56:45.000 She puts her nose in the air at him. 1319 00:56:45.079 --> 00:56:48.119 Yeah.

I trust me. We're going, 1333 00:57:14.360 --> 00:57:15.840 You and I are going. We're going to the boathouse, 1334 00:57:15.920 --> 00:57:17.480 running boat. We're going out there. 1335 00:57:17.679 --> 00:57:19.239 We're also gonna sit a time for how long it 1336 00:57:19.320 --> 00:57:20.679 takes it for both of us to wind up in 1337 00:57:20.760 --> 00:57:21.519 the Central. 1338 00:57:21.239 --> 00:57:24.599 Park that in that gross reservoir green water. 1339 00:57:26.280 --> 00:57:30.559 So, while Mark and Natasha are doing very like barristery things, 1340 00:57:31.039 --> 00:57:33.719 Bridget and Daniel, I think, are drinking Budweiser, which feels 1341 00:57:33.880 --> 00:57:34.280 very weird. 1342 00:57:34.440 --> 00:57:36.599 They're drinking like the cheapest beer they could find and 1343 00:57:36.719 --> 00:57:38.480 then quoting poetry to each other. 1344 00:57:38.440 --> 00:57:41.840 But in a like dirty limericks. Yeah yeah, they wind 1345 00:57:41.960 --> 00:57:45.880 up falling in the water. They're laughing hysterically. Natasha can 1346 00:57:45.960 --> 00:57:49.320 barely contain her disgust, while Mark looks on a bit longingly. 1347 00:57:49.559 --> 00:57:51.800 I would say mm hmm. And then we cut to 1348 00:57:51.920 --> 00:57:55.320 that night in bed and Bridget asks Daniel if he 1349 00:57:55.440 --> 00:58:00.000 loves her. Ladies, gentlemen, everyone in between and outside those backs, 1350 00:58:00.800 --> 00:58:01.239 don't do that. 1351 00:58:02.119 --> 00:58:03.440 Wait, wait for them to say it first. 1352 00:58:03.480 --> 00:58:05.639 They'll say it. If they're gonna say it, they'll say it. 1353 00:58:05.719 --> 00:58:07.679 Are you sure, Paul, I shouldn't ask everyone if they 1354 00:58:07.760 --> 00:58:09.000 love me? That was a problem. 1355 00:58:09.280 --> 00:58:11.599 Okay, I knew what the barista that was a bad idea. 1356 00:58:11.840 --> 00:58:13.639 But I really thought the guy taking my tickets at 1357 00:58:13.679 --> 00:58:15.920 the movie theater, I thought we had a bond. I 1358 00:58:16.039 --> 00:58:16.960 really did think we had a bond. 1359 00:58:17.039 --> 00:58:18.840 Well, you always tip him, which I understand. You think 1360 00:58:18.880 --> 00:58:19.559 you're you're getting in. 1361 00:58:19.639 --> 00:58:21.199 All I want is for everyone to love me all 1362 00:58:21.239 --> 00:58:24.000 the time. So is that too much to ask? 1363 00:58:26.400 --> 00:58:29.440 Daniel manages to distract her with sex. Earlier in the scene, 1364 00:58:29.480 --> 00:58:31.880 he says like she says, like, oh, the thing you 1365 00:58:32.000 --> 00:58:37.199 just did is illegal. In another multiple countries, and I'm like, anal, 1366 00:58:37.320 --> 00:58:41.519 sex does not have to have a gentle cuddling directly afterwards. 1367 00:58:41.599 --> 00:58:43.519 There's the whole thing that goes into it. 1368 00:58:43.679 --> 00:58:46.159 Maybe they did something else that's illegal in other country. 1369 00:58:46.199 --> 00:58:48.920 Maybe they sixty nine Is that illegal in some countries? 1370 00:58:48.920 --> 00:58:49.280 I don't know. 1371 00:58:50.119 --> 00:58:53.119 Please, in some countries, fucking shaking hands is illegal. Yeah, 1372 00:58:53.639 --> 00:58:56.000 I mean I assumed, but sex too, But but it 1373 00:58:56.079 --> 00:58:58.119 could be something else. I suppose you're right, because the 1374 00:58:58.199 --> 00:58:59.360 gentle cuddling. 1375 00:58:59.199 --> 00:59:04.840 There's there's there's an aftermath. Not trying to be gross, but. 1376 00:59:04.960 --> 00:59:06.880 Like there's consequences. 1377 00:59:07.239 --> 00:59:10.079 Yes, I think everyone can have a very good time 1378 00:59:10.639 --> 00:59:12.880 and then perhaps a shower. 1379 00:59:15.320 --> 00:59:17.519 Okay, So let's say they did something else that I 1380 00:59:18.320 --> 00:59:19.599 nominate sixty ninetys. 1381 00:59:19.760 --> 00:59:20.320 I'm down for that. 1382 00:59:20.440 --> 00:59:22.079 It's the only other thing I could think of that 1383 00:59:22.360 --> 00:59:23.960 might be late in other countries. 1384 00:59:25.880 --> 00:59:29.239 The next morning, Bridget wakes up to an apologetic Daniel. 1385 00:59:29.280 --> 00:59:31.760 He is up and dressed and packed and she's just 1386 00:59:31.840 --> 00:59:33.840 waking up and he's telling her he has to head 1387 00:59:33.840 --> 00:59:36.079 back to London for work, and she's like, no, can't 1388 00:59:36.119 --> 00:59:37.760 you just at least drop me off at the party 1389 00:59:37.880 --> 00:59:40.079 first and like come in with me for ten minutes 1390 00:59:40.119 --> 00:59:42.039 and say hi. So, like, so I've talked to you, 1391 00:59:42.119 --> 00:59:44.320 up to my family and friends. Everyone needs to see you, 1392 00:59:44.360 --> 00:59:46.360 and he's like, I can't. I have to go to 1393 00:59:46.400 --> 00:59:48.559 the office. She goes, what could be so important. 1394 00:59:48.599 --> 00:59:50.760 He's like, well, you don't know what's important because you 1395 00:59:50.920 --> 00:59:54.320 just fanny around with the press releases. Yeah, he diminishes 1396 00:59:54.400 --> 00:59:54.920 her work. 1397 00:59:54.760 --> 00:59:56.880 And she looks upset and he's like, I'm sorry, and 1398 00:59:56.960 --> 00:59:59.000 then he explains to her that like quote unquote, the 1399 00:59:59.079 --> 01:00:03.440 Americans are coming to shut them down. So she realizes 1400 01:00:03.519 --> 01:00:06.239 he's really stressed out for work. Okay, she backs off, 1401 01:00:06.679 --> 01:00:08.599 He drives her, and he drops her off to the party. 1402 01:00:09.119 --> 01:00:12.000 We cut to Bridget heading into the party alone and 1403 01:00:12.119 --> 01:00:14.079 she is dressed as a playboy bunny. 1404 01:00:14.280 --> 01:00:16.880 This is the same year as earlier. 1405 01:00:16.960 --> 01:00:17.559 I looked it up. 1406 01:00:18.039 --> 01:00:20.000 As I was watching this, I was like, this movie 1407 01:00:20.039 --> 01:00:23.079 walks illegally Blonde could run. It is essentially the exact 1408 01:00:23.119 --> 01:00:25.400 same outfit, except this one's in black and then the 1409 01:00:25.440 --> 01:00:28.440 other was in pink. So she gets there dressed in 1410 01:00:28.719 --> 01:00:31.960 like a Sunday brunch. She's dressed like a like the 1411 01:00:32.039 --> 01:00:35.559 playboy bunny in the most uncomfortable sexy outfit. Oh yeah, 1412 01:00:35.840 --> 01:00:38.880 that's the problem with the sexy outfit idea a structure. 1413 01:00:39.000 --> 01:00:41.000 It's so hard to breathe and eat in one of those. 1414 01:00:41.039 --> 01:00:43.960 Like later, she's getting a hot dog at the barbecue 1415 01:00:43.960 --> 01:00:46.000 and I'm like, girl, where where are you gonna fit 1416 01:00:46.079 --> 01:00:46.599 that hot dog? 1417 01:00:47.599 --> 01:00:51.159 Hey, listeners, future Paul here, girl, where are you gonna 1418 01:00:51.159 --> 01:00:53.800 fit that hot dog? Title of Erica's sex tape. 1419 01:00:54.440 --> 01:00:58.239 Unfortunately, once she's already arrived and Daniel has left her there, 1420 01:00:58.719 --> 01:01:01.679 she realizes that no one else is in costume. Turns 1421 01:01:01.679 --> 01:01:06.480 out Uncle Jeffrey changed the plans and forgot to tell Bridget. 1422 01:01:06.519 --> 01:01:08.119 Of course he didn't forget, He just wanted to see 1423 01:01:08.159 --> 01:01:10.760 what she would show up in. He belines towards her 1424 01:01:11.000 --> 01:01:14.239 and starts like playing with her little bunny cottontail at 1425 01:01:14.239 --> 01:01:15.960 the end and like grabbing her ass. 1426 01:01:16.000 --> 01:01:17.559 And Una comes up and is like Jeffrey. 1427 01:01:17.800 --> 01:01:19.840 So Bridget heads to find her father and he is 1428 01:01:19.920 --> 01:01:21.760 dressed like a vicar, and he goes, at least I 1429 01:01:21.800 --> 01:01:23.559 didn't spend as much money as burn it.

And he 1436 01:01:42.519 --> 01:01:44.480 is just depressed and sad. He wants to sit alone 1437 01:01:44.519 --> 01:01:46.880 in the garden and cry.

And he's like, of course not, and 1462 01:02:37.519 --> 01:02:39.119 she goes. She busts into his room, but there's no 1463 01:02:39.159 --> 01:02:42.239 one there, and she's like, okay, I'm so sorry. I'm crazy. 1464 01:02:42.320 --> 01:02:44.280 It was a really bad day. He's like, no problem, 1465 01:02:44.920 --> 01:02:46.880 leads her out, and now she's leaving, she sees a 1466 01:02:46.920 --> 01:02:51.320 woman's pink coat hanging on the the coat rack. That's it, 1467 01:02:51.440 --> 01:02:54.159 thank you, And now she knows for sure. She runs 1468 01:02:54.199 --> 01:02:57.360 back upstairs. She throws open the door to his en suite. Yeah, 1469 01:02:57.679 --> 01:02:59.719 and sitting in there is a woman whose name will 1470 01:02:59.760 --> 01:03:03.599 learn it Laura Buck, naked with just a like a 1471 01:03:03.760 --> 01:03:07.960 large portfolio in front of her to cover all her bits, 1472 01:03:08.039 --> 01:03:10.079 which implies that the woman was just sitting on the 1473 01:03:10.159 --> 01:03:13.119 edge of a tub for the last five minutes, and 1474 01:03:13.639 --> 01:03:18.280 that that woman knows who Bridget is yes, and has 1475 01:03:18.440 --> 01:03:20.440 no issue with who Bridget is. Yes. 1476 01:03:20.960 --> 01:03:23.679 This is interesting. This whole storyline is very interesting. By 1477 01:03:23.719 --> 01:03:26.679 the way small bit, but it made me laugh. The portfolio, 1478 01:03:26.800 --> 01:03:30.360 says Pemberley Publishing. Hmmm, for the again, for the Pride 1479 01:03:30.360 --> 01:03:33.079 and Prejudice fans out there, Yeah, that's the part of 1480 01:03:33.119 --> 01:03:35.639 the roller coaster we go through where where it's actually 1481 01:03:35.719 --> 01:03:38.280 really nice and there's like and there's like a teenage 1482 01:03:38.320 --> 01:03:41.679 girl playing flawless piano while at Pemberley. Yeah, and then 1483 01:03:41.719 --> 01:03:43.760 your uncle gets to go fishing. Maybe we're not on 1484 01:03:43.840 --> 01:03:45.679 a roller coaster anymore. Hang on, I've lost the thread. 1485 01:03:45.760 --> 01:03:46.719 I'll come back, I'll come back. 1486 01:03:46.920 --> 01:03:48.880 It's more that like that that that gentle ride. This 1487 01:03:49.000 --> 01:03:51.039 goes up and down for kids. Yeah, it's not really 1488 01:03:51.039 --> 01:03:53.000 a roller coaster. It's a ride in prejudice. 1489 01:03:53.000 --> 01:03:54.000 It's a ride in prejudice. 1490 01:03:55.239 --> 01:03:56.880 Also, I just want to point out that Laura has 1491 01:03:56.920 --> 01:03:59.280 one of the lines it's really directly about Bridget's weight 1492 01:03:59.320 --> 01:04:01.800 where she said I thought you said she was thin 1493 01:04:02.920 --> 01:04:07.239 to Daniel as Bridget's leaving, and it's like, woman, there 1494 01:04:07.400 --> 01:04:08.800 is no need, bitch. 1495 01:04:09.360 --> 01:04:10.679 Yeah, she's the lydia. 1496 01:04:10.800 --> 01:04:12.599 I guess if we have a lydia in the film, 1497 01:04:12.760 --> 01:04:15.800 it's this woman. So Bridget is despondent, but of course 1498 01:04:15.880 --> 01:04:17.480 she has to still see Daniel at work because they 1499 01:04:17.519 --> 01:04:20.119 work together, so she tries to remain professional. She has 1500 01:04:20.159 --> 01:04:21.519 to go into his office to give him like some 1501 01:04:21.599 --> 01:04:23.599 weekly report on like sales. 1502 01:04:24.159 --> 01:04:25.519 I just want to point sorry, I just want to 1503 01:04:25.519 --> 01:04:28.159 point out here that she has changed how she's dressing completely. 1504 01:04:28.280 --> 01:04:30.480 She's now wearing like sneakers and a skirt that goes 1505 01:04:30.519 --> 01:04:33.199 like past her knees yep, and is fully covered up. 1506 01:04:33.320 --> 01:04:34.719 Like, yeah, she's in her depression era. 1507 01:04:34.960 --> 01:04:38.000 She has clearly been punched in the soul and is recovering. 1508 01:04:37.800 --> 01:04:39.599 Yeah, and has to work with the fucking guy who 1509 01:04:39.679 --> 01:04:42.199 punched her in the soul. So Daniel closes the door 1510 01:04:42.199 --> 01:04:45.159 and he tries to apologize to her, and but Paul 1511 01:04:45.199 --> 01:04:46.920 writes here and he's not wrong. It is a truly 1512 01:04:47.360 --> 01:04:50.519 epically bad apology where he points out that Laura is 1513 01:04:50.599 --> 01:04:53.880 younger and they've grown very close and that he. 1514 01:04:53.920 --> 01:04:55.199 Needs something extraordinary. 1515 01:04:55.360 --> 01:04:57.559 Look, he's being honest with her, but he still sucks right, 1516 01:04:57.679 --> 01:04:59.639 Like he's like, look, I think you and I are 1517 01:04:59.679 --> 01:05:01.880 people of a certain age who are looking for something 1518 01:05:01.920 --> 01:05:03.599 more extraordinary before we settle down. 1519 01:05:03.639 --> 01:05:07.039 And I think Lara is the more extraordinary over you. 1520 01:05:07.280 --> 01:05:10.800 And I'm like, dude, just say I'm sorry, Like I 1521 01:05:10.920 --> 01:05:13.920 always thought it was a casual thing, and I'm really sorry. 1522 01:05:13.920 --> 01:05:16.880 I hurt you. The end, the end, the end. 1523 01:05:17.039 --> 01:05:19.039 I hope we can still work together and I will 1524 01:05:19.119 --> 01:05:21.320 do everything I can to make this less awkward for you. 1525 01:05:21.480 --> 01:05:24.840 Do you need to take some vacation? So Bridget scoffed 1526 01:05:24.880 --> 01:05:28.440 at all of his like equivocating his nonsense, and she's like, 1527 01:05:28.760 --> 01:05:31.480 how can you be so into her? You've just met her? 1528 01:05:31.519 --> 01:05:33.719 How can she be this extraordinary love of your life? 1529 01:05:34.039 --> 01:05:36.239 Then she realizes it, she goes like, wait a minute, 1530 01:05:36.320 --> 01:05:38.280 you didn't just meet her. They've known each other for 1531 01:05:38.360 --> 01:05:41.480 quite some time, and Bridget was actually the side piece. 1532 01:05:41.840 --> 01:05:45.400 Bridget was never the main girlfriend. That makes Laura both 1533 01:05:45.559 --> 01:05:48.199 very mean to Bridget. Still, this is all Daniel's fault 1534 01:05:48.519 --> 01:05:50.679 for both of you. Neither of you should be going 1535 01:05:50.760 --> 01:05:53.639 after the other. Ye Also that makes Laura way too 1536 01:05:53.840 --> 01:05:56.920 cool with Daniel being like, fine, go back to England, 1537 01:05:57.000 --> 01:05:59.000 fuck some girl, but then you have to come back 1538 01:05:59.039 --> 01:05:59.239 to me. 1539 01:06:00.480 --> 01:06:02.719 Weird.

Right throughout the movie, we should mention 1646 01:10:50.760 --> 01:10:54.880 She's like, we hear the diary snippets that her diary 1647 01:10:55.000 --> 01:10:58.319 snippets always begin with, like how much she weighs, how 1648 01:10:58.399 --> 01:11:00.640 many cigarettes she's had, and how much outcohol she's had. 1649 01:11:00.720 --> 01:11:02.600 Yeah, and sometimes food stuff gets in there too. 1650 01:11:02.840 --> 01:11:06.039 At one point she says forty two cigarettes. 1651 01:11:05.640 --> 01:11:06.279 Yeah, in a day. 1652 01:11:06.399 --> 01:11:07.039 In a day. 1653 01:11:07.600 --> 01:11:10.399 There's one where after she leaves Daniels for the first time, 1654 01:11:10.479 --> 01:11:13.079 she says, twenty cigarettes all post coital. 1655 01:11:13.239 --> 01:11:20.279 Yeah, And I'm like, what, how weren't you tired? Was 1656 01:11:20.319 --> 01:11:21.560 it wasn't his jaw tired? 1657 01:11:22.159 --> 01:11:23.960 Does it no wonder? He broke up with her she's 1658 01:11:23.960 --> 01:11:27.039 staying up his apartment. He doesn't seem to smoke. She's 1659 01:11:27.079 --> 01:11:28.680 the only one in that relationship that smokes. 1660 01:11:28.680 --> 01:11:30.680 He must have like the minute she left, he opened 1661 01:11:30.720 --> 01:11:32.319 all the windows and he's like, I can't have sex 1662 01:11:32.399 --> 01:11:34.319 with this woman again. If I do, it has to 1663 01:11:34.399 --> 01:11:36.880 be somewhere in a hotel because I cannot have the 1664 01:11:36.920 --> 01:11:38.159 smell in my apartment anymore. 1665 01:11:38.279 --> 01:11:40.039 They're gonna have to stop making sequels soon because this 1666 01:11:40.119 --> 01:11:42.279 character will be dead by the time she's sixty five 1667 01:11:42.319 --> 01:11:47.760 from Emphysina. Can we talk briefly about what exactly her 1668 01:11:47.880 --> 01:11:49.880 job is? Do you know? 1669 01:11:50.399 --> 01:11:50.720 Okay? 1670 01:11:50.800 --> 01:11:54.279 Because I don't. This makes no sense, Okay. Good. 1671 01:11:54.760 --> 01:11:56.640 Also, at the very beginning of the film, I just 1672 01:11:56.680 --> 01:11:58.960 want to mention when she introduces her friends, right, Tom 1673 01:11:59.079 --> 01:12:01.359 is a fair not fail. Tomas is very successful, one 1674 01:12:01.439 --> 01:12:05.760 hit wonder. Jude works in finance. Chaza, the one that 1675 01:12:05.840 --> 01:12:08.479 I modeled my life after is a journalist. Yeah, a 1676 01:12:08.560 --> 01:12:09.399 hard hitting journalist. 1677 01:12:09.479 --> 01:12:11.720 And you are also a hard hitting journalist, never forget. 1678 01:12:11.600 --> 01:12:13.840 Likes to say fuck a lot. Both those things are 1679 01:12:14.000 --> 01:12:14.520 exactly me. 1680 01:12:14.760 --> 01:12:17.800 Right, So her now, Bridget gets a job as a 1681 01:12:18.119 --> 01:12:20.800 soft hitting journalist to be fair, like she's not she's 1682 01:12:21.119 --> 01:12:21.880 supposedly not. 1683 01:12:21.920 --> 01:12:23.279 Supposed to go after big interviews. 1684 01:12:23.479 --> 01:12:28.239 Although hang on to your butts because something's coming right, Yeah, 1685 01:12:28.359 --> 01:12:30.800 And so like they say, like, why is she on 1686 01:12:30.960 --> 01:12:34.880 air talent? How did she go from being a marketing executive, 1687 01:12:34.960 --> 01:12:38.119 not even executive, a marketing like this assistant or whatever 1688 01:12:38.439 --> 01:12:42.199 coordinator at her company to be coming on air talent 1689 01:12:42.880 --> 01:12:44.039 at a morning show? 1690 01:12:44.439 --> 01:12:44.640 Yeah? 1691 01:12:44.720 --> 01:12:48.119 Does England have seventy five morning shows? They just need blondes. 1692 01:12:48.319 --> 01:12:50.800 And also it feels like maybe there was a cut 1693 01:12:50.880 --> 01:12:52.880 scene where like she was supposed to be the segment 1694 01:12:52.920 --> 01:12:56.079 producer and then someone like called out sick because they're 1695 01:12:56.119 --> 01:12:57.760 like rushing her to do all of these things and 1696 01:12:57.840 --> 01:13:00.560 nothing's set up, nothing's prepared, yeah, which you would presume 1697 01:13:00.720 --> 01:13:03.680 was actually her job as the producer. Yeah, but then 1698 01:13:03.680 --> 01:13:06.079 there's there is another producer on the set, so that 1699 01:13:06.119 --> 01:13:08.399 doesn't make sense, and the segment's a disaster. 1700 01:13:08.880 --> 01:13:11.399 The two times we see her working, she is on 1701 01:13:11.520 --> 01:13:14.479 air talent. Yeah, Like that's her job, And I'm like, how. 1702 01:13:14.439 --> 01:13:17.439 Did she get this job? She's shagging this post too, 1703 01:13:17.560 --> 01:13:18.359 did we skip something? 1704 01:13:18.560 --> 01:13:20.439 She's shagging this She's the coke kit. 1705 01:13:21.800 --> 01:13:24.680 So she's at work one day and she realizes that night, 1706 01:13:24.720 --> 01:13:27.000 she looks at her her journal, and she realizes, oh shit, 1707 01:13:27.119 --> 01:13:29.279 I have to have dinner with Magda and Jeremy. 1708 01:13:29.439 --> 01:13:29.880 And she goes. 1709 01:13:29.920 --> 01:13:32.239 The Only thing worse than spending time with the smug 1710 01:13:32.319 --> 01:13:36.000 married couple is lots of smug married couples. 1711 01:13:36.279 --> 01:13:36.399 Right. 1712 01:13:36.720 --> 01:13:39.000 She goes to this dinner party, and to her dismay, 1713 01:13:39.640 --> 01:13:43.960 it's literally like her and ten people, five of whom 1714 01:13:44.159 --> 01:13:45.239 like all five couples. 1715 01:13:45.399 --> 01:13:49.399 Right. Can I make one small observation about this dinner party? Yeah, 1716 01:13:49.600 --> 01:13:52.920 so presumptively all of these people are approximately Bridget's age, 1717 01:13:53.279 --> 01:13:56.079 early thirties. Yeah, that's it. The dinner party they have 1718 01:13:56.239 --> 01:13:59.840 laid out. It is candlelight on the table. 1719 01:14:00.000 --> 01:14:00.520 It's elegance. 1720 01:14:00.560 --> 01:14:04.600 There's a candelabra, it's plated appetizers.

Where I 1786 01:16:39.319 --> 01:16:42.159 feel like there was a genuine pressure of women in 1787 01:16:42.199 --> 01:16:44.520 their thirties and the nineties when the book was resolutely 1788 01:16:44.800 --> 01:16:47.520 to be married, to have kids, to like, like, if 1789 01:16:47.560 --> 01:16:49.600 you're thirty three and single, what the fuck happened to you? 1790 01:16:49.760 --> 01:16:52.279 Like he repeatedly refers to herself as a spinster. 1791 01:16:52.800 --> 01:16:54.640 Yes, she was, Yeah, in a bad way. 1792 01:16:54.720 --> 01:16:57.600 I love the word spinster. I reclaim the word spinster, 1793 01:16:58.159 --> 01:17:01.039 and like this is a pre sex in the city society. Yeah, 1794 01:17:01.239 --> 01:17:03.039 that the book was written in, to be clear, And 1795 01:17:03.079 --> 01:17:06.079 then the movie is modeling the book, right, So I 1796 01:17:06.600 --> 01:17:09.079 understand why, like someone now would be like, well, this 1797 01:17:09.199 --> 01:17:10.640 movie is trying to tell me that I should be 1798 01:17:10.720 --> 01:17:14.199 married by thirty three, and like, I don't disagree with that, 1799 01:17:14.399 --> 01:17:16.199 to be clear, but I'm gonna give the movie a 1800 01:17:16.279 --> 01:17:19.199 slight pass on this because I think the movie is 1801 01:17:19.319 --> 01:17:21.479 pushing up against those expectations. 1802 01:17:21.520 --> 01:17:22.800 Yeah, let me tell you, I saw this at a 1803 01:17:22.880 --> 01:17:24.520 formative age. I saw this movie when I was like 1804 01:17:24.600 --> 01:17:27.199 twenty twenty one years old, and it did not affect 1805 01:17:27.359 --> 01:17:30.119 my Like I gotta be married by thirty, right, like 1806 01:17:30.520 --> 01:17:31.720 or else what's gonna happen to me? 1807 01:17:31.920 --> 01:17:34.800 It's also interesting to think about, like they keep referring 1808 01:17:34.800 --> 01:17:37.960 to Bridget as a career girl, but it doesn't really 1809 01:17:38.039 --> 01:17:40.720 seem like Bridget is a career girl. Like she doesn't 1810 01:17:40.760 --> 01:17:42.039 care about it. She didn't care about her job at 1811 01:17:42.039 --> 01:17:43.920 the publishing house. She would have dumped it in a minute, 1812 01:17:44.079 --> 01:17:46.600 in a minute. Yeah, Like, it's not like she's ambitious 1813 01:17:46.600 --> 01:17:49.520 in driving towards something career oriented. It's that she hasn't 1814 01:17:49.560 --> 01:17:52.720 found her person, and so she's working and hanging out 1815 01:17:52.760 --> 01:17:54.800 with her friends and like having good time, which is 1816 01:17:54.880 --> 01:17:59.199 what you should do. To be clear, a romantic partner 1817 01:17:59.239 --> 01:18:00.920 is not the end all in of your life. Please 1818 01:18:01.479 --> 01:18:04.880 understand that, like, have fun, have a happy life, and 1819 01:18:05.800 --> 01:18:08.159 if you want a romantic partner in that, hopefully that 1820 01:18:08.279 --> 01:18:10.520 happens for you. But like, don't let that be, don't 1821 01:18:10.600 --> 01:18:11.239 let that define you. 1822 01:18:12.359 --> 01:18:14.279 Are you sure I'm writing this down? I shouldn't find that. 1823 01:18:14.359 --> 01:18:17.600 Okay, I'm gonna I'm gonna cross out find a husband 1824 01:18:18.119 --> 01:18:19.119 from my bucket list. 1825 01:18:19.039 --> 01:18:22.439 Had finally, finally, finally, No. 1826 01:18:22.560 --> 01:18:26.560 You're absolutely right, and like Shaza and Jude are working 1827 01:18:26.600 --> 01:18:30.800 girls are like our career said, working girls, our career women, right, like, 1828 01:18:30.960 --> 01:18:33.600 but Bridget is very Bridget and Tom are very much not. 1829 01:18:34.600 --> 01:18:36.840 Yeah, but Tom has an income. Tom has I don't know, 1830 01:18:37.000 --> 01:18:40.279 like he has that Bill Niki song from Love actually 1831 01:18:40.680 --> 01:18:41.239 under his belt. 1832 01:18:41.720 --> 01:18:43.520 I wonder what his one hit, Wonder was about. 1833 01:18:43.600 --> 01:18:44.039 I wonder. 1834 01:18:44.279 --> 01:18:46.720 I bet you he was like some like band Aid 1835 01:18:46.880 --> 01:18:50.680 Live Aid, like like charity song for Africa that they 1836 01:18:50.760 --> 01:18:52.039 play every year at Christmas. 1837 01:18:52.680 --> 01:18:55.199 Yeah, that tracks. That sounds right. 1838 01:18:55.319 --> 01:18:58.039 So Bridget handles it all with a plumb. They're all like, Bridget, 1839 01:18:58.079 --> 01:19:00.800 why there's so many unmarried women over the age of thirty, 1840 01:19:00.840 --> 01:19:02.239 And they all stare at her, and she's like, I 1841 01:19:02.279 --> 01:19:05.640 don't know, can't help that. Underneath our clothes, our bodies 1842 01:19:05.640 --> 01:19:08.199 are covered in scales. Like she's trying to make a 1843 01:19:08.319 --> 01:19:10.920 joke out of it. Right, There's one particular couple that's 1844 01:19:11.039 --> 01:19:11.960 really horrible to her. 1845 01:19:12.239 --> 01:19:13.640 They should be shot in the back of the head, 1846 01:19:13.760 --> 01:19:15.039 so awful. 1847 01:19:15.239 --> 01:19:17.439 And she's and she like cuts them off, and she's like, 1848 01:19:17.520 --> 01:19:19.560 how many marriages now end in divorce? Is it one 1849 01:19:19.600 --> 01:19:21.880 in three or one and two? And Mark goes one 1850 01:19:21.920 --> 01:19:24.199 in three and she's like, thank you. So she and 1851 01:19:24.319 --> 01:19:25.760 Mark are on the same page. 1852 01:19:26.239 --> 01:19:28.960 After the dinner, she's leaving early, clearly before everyone else. 1853 01:19:29.039 --> 01:19:29.840 She goes downstairs. 1854 01:19:29.880 --> 01:19:32.840 She puts on her coat, and Mark approaches her and 1855 01:19:32.960 --> 01:19:36.720 apologizes for his past behavior. He's like, listen, I'm really 1856 01:19:36.920 --> 01:19:39.399 sorry that I was unforgivably rude to you when I 1857 01:19:39.479 --> 01:19:41.680 first met you at your mother's thing, right, and then 1858 01:19:41.720 --> 01:19:44.279 I was wearing a reindeer jumper that my mother had 1859 01:19:44.319 --> 01:19:45.279 bought me the night before. 1860 01:19:45.600 --> 01:19:47.199 It was a beautiful teal color. 1861 01:19:48.079 --> 01:19:50.880 They have money, Yeah, so their ugly Christmas weater is 1862 01:19:50.920 --> 01:19:52.439 going to be better than our ugly Christmas weather. 1863 01:19:52.840 --> 01:19:53.399 It didn't look it. 1864 01:19:55.199 --> 01:19:56.960 And he's like, listen, I just want you to know 1865 01:19:57.079 --> 01:20:01.399 the contrary to appearances, I'd like you you just as 1866 01:20:01.479 --> 01:20:05.279 you are, And Bridget's stunned. She's like, wait, what you 1867 01:20:05.520 --> 01:20:08.239 like me just as I am? No, that's the nicest 1868 01:20:08.279 --> 01:20:11.279 thing anyone's literally ever said to me. And at that moment, 1869 01:20:11.399 --> 01:20:13.560 unfortunately before it seems like he might ask her out 1870 01:20:13.960 --> 01:20:17.680 Natasha comes downstairs. She goes, Mark, we've made excellent strides. 1871 01:20:17.399 --> 01:20:17.760 In the case. 1872 01:20:17.840 --> 01:20:20.159 Come along, and she like snaps at him and he 1873 01:20:20.279 --> 01:20:22.960 gets embarrassed because his date is embarrassing. 1874 01:20:23.119 --> 01:20:24.119 Yeah, and he just runs. 1875 01:20:24.199 --> 01:20:25.960 He goes, well, good night, and he runs up stairs. 1876 01:20:26.119 --> 01:20:29.319 I love the idea that this this, this fleet of 1877 01:20:29.399 --> 01:20:34.239 douche canoes that is somehow helping Mark and and Beth in. 1878 01:20:34.359 --> 01:20:37.439 What we will find out is like a human rights case. Yeah, 1879 01:20:37.600 --> 01:20:40.159 like someone thought outside the box, someone moved fast and 1880 01:20:40.239 --> 01:20:43.199 broke things in the law, because that's how law works. 1881 01:20:44.399 --> 01:20:47.279 All right. Bridget turns thirty three and assigned a big 1882 01:20:47.439 --> 01:20:51.920 job at the TV station. She's interviewing two defendants in 1883 01:20:51.960 --> 01:20:53.720 a political extradition case. 1884 01:20:54.520 --> 01:20:58.239 Obviously they get just one to Bridget. Obviously, Obviously she's 1885 01:20:58.319 --> 01:20:59.760 literally never heard of these people. 1886 01:20:59.800 --> 01:21:02.880 Yeah, And basically it's a Kurdish freedom fighter and the 1887 01:21:02.960 --> 01:21:05.680 British woman he's married to, and they want to extradite 1888 01:21:05.760 --> 01:21:08.640 him to where he will most certainly be murdered. Yeah, 1889 01:21:08.720 --> 01:21:14.239 and Bridgie goes, well, that's exciting. Look, it's a wrong 1890 01:21:14.319 --> 01:21:15.119 com Let it go. 1891 01:21:15.319 --> 01:21:16.880 Let it go, Yeah, let it go. This is not 1892 01:21:17.000 --> 01:21:18.520 how TV works. But who cares? 1893 01:21:18.600 --> 01:21:21.079 Who is how journalism works. Anything works. 1894 01:21:21.279 --> 01:21:24.119 Do not yes and yourself into this situation at your 1895 01:21:24.159 --> 01:21:26.800 actual job, though, because you will not do well. So 1896 01:21:27.560 --> 01:21:30.319 we cut to the courthouse where the case is taking place. 1897 01:21:30.720 --> 01:21:32.720 Bridget steps into a local deli to pick up some 1898 01:21:32.720 --> 01:21:35.479 cigarettes and she runs into Mark there. She goes, you 1899 01:21:35.680 --> 01:21:36.439 like me as I am. 1900 01:21:36.720 --> 01:21:38.199 He goes, excuse me, She's like nothing. 1901 01:21:38.359 --> 01:21:42.039 Nothing. Her crew rushes in and they say we screwed up. 1902 01:21:42.039 --> 01:21:44.600 The subjects are gone, and Brigitt goes, oh my god, 1903 01:21:44.640 --> 01:21:46.439 did other people get to interview them. I'm going to 1904 01:21:46.479 --> 01:21:48.720 be sacked, and Mark is there to save the day. 1905 01:21:48.720 --> 01:21:50.279 He gets his big hero a moment. It turns out 1906 01:21:50.359 --> 01:21:52.479 this big case and he's been working on with Natasha 1907 01:21:52.760 --> 01:21:55.000 for all these months, was this one. He is the 1908 01:21:55.079 --> 01:21:58.399 lawyer for the Kurdish freedom fighter and he gives Bridget 1909 01:21:58.479 --> 01:21:59.199 the exclusive. 1910 01:21:59.399 --> 01:22:02.319 Yeah, the case went well, guy. The guy did not 1911 01:22:02.359 --> 01:22:05.720 get extradited and or murdered. Yes, he's going to stay 1912 01:22:05.760 --> 01:22:06.920 in England and be safe. 1913 01:22:07.079 --> 01:22:08.680 Yeah. And of course she nails it because she has 1914 01:22:08.720 --> 01:22:11.399 done all the work that she needed to do prior 1915 01:22:11.439 --> 01:22:12.199 to leading up to this. 1916 01:22:12.560 --> 01:22:16.680 She asks hard hitting questions in that interview. Honestly, the 1917 01:22:16.720 --> 01:22:18.039 interview is a little bit charming. 1918 01:22:18.199 --> 01:22:21.600 Yeah, I did check. It appears that this man, based 1919 01:22:21.640 --> 01:22:23.119 on his name, he hasn't a lot of credits based 1920 01:22:23.119 --> 01:22:25.960 on his name, is actually of at least some sort 1921 01:22:26.000 --> 01:22:27.159 of Middle Eastern descent. 1922 01:22:27.520 --> 01:22:30.119 Yeah, hopefully presumably Kurdish. 1923 01:22:30.199 --> 01:22:30.359 Yeah. 1924 01:22:31.199 --> 01:22:33.920 That night, it's her birthday.

By the way, 1957 01:23:47.720 --> 01:23:50.760 it is Bridget's birthday and her mother calls to complain 1958 01:23:50.800 --> 01:23:53.920 about her boyfriend, does not say happy birthday during the call, 1959 01:23:54.079 --> 01:23:56.880 does not acknowledge that it's Bridge's birthday at all. So 1960 01:23:57.000 --> 01:23:59.479 Bridget gets off the phone and the doorbell rings. She 1961 01:23:59.479 --> 01:24:01.399 goes to the answer the door and she finds Mark there. 1962 01:24:02.199 --> 01:24:04.880 He's there to congratulate her on her successful interview. He 1963 01:24:04.920 --> 01:24:07.319 has the newspaper with like a headline about her getting 1964 01:24:07.319 --> 01:24:10.479 the interview.

I will admit I 2085 01:29:24.079 --> 01:29:26.680 get very excited sometimes when I see a fight on 2086 01:29:26.720 --> 01:29:31.960 the subway. It satisfies the bloodlust in me that I 2087 01:29:32.039 --> 01:29:33.319 don't often get satisfied. 2088 01:29:33.359 --> 01:29:36.159 It brings you to your true happy place, which is 2089 01:29:36.239 --> 01:29:38.760 the active gladiatorial arena in ancient Rome. 2090 01:29:38.920 --> 01:29:42.079 Yeah, it depends on the fight.

So the fight escalates and escalates. 2115 01:30:44.039 --> 01:30:47.439 Eventually they go inside the Greek restaurant. Like one punches 2116 01:30:47.479 --> 01:30:49.600 the other and he goes inside the restaurant and they 2117 01:30:49.680 --> 01:30:51.479 have to stop for a minute to saying happy birthday 2118 01:30:51.520 --> 01:30:54.760 to someone whose birthday cake is like is the Parthenon, 2119 01:30:56.039 --> 01:30:56.520 And they're. 2120 01:30:56.359 --> 01:30:59.199 So proper they keep landing on people's tables and be like, 2121 01:30:59.199 --> 01:31:01.439 I'm so sorry.

She says, that's not good enough, 2150 01:32:10.520 --> 01:32:12.560 and then she throws his own words back at him. 2151 01:32:13.039 --> 01:32:15.920 I'm looking for something more extraordinary than that. Good for you, 2152 01:32:16.000 --> 01:32:16.640 Bridget yep. 2153 01:32:16.840 --> 01:32:18.159 Exit Daniel from the film. 2154 01:32:18.279 --> 01:32:21.520 Yep, I will miss Daniel, but there are sequels, and 2155 01:32:21.600 --> 01:32:24.039 like any good toxic X, he will feel that moment 2156 01:32:24.159 --> 01:32:26.439 where she might be happy. Yeah, he will pop up again. 2157 01:32:26.560 --> 01:32:27.800 He's like, I think she's in Thailand. 2158 01:32:27.840 --> 01:32:30.800 I should go to her there, and we cut to 2159 01:32:30.920 --> 01:32:34.119 Christmas right. Bridget is spending it with her father and 2160 01:32:35.039 --> 01:32:39.439 Pamela comes home. Bridget kind of goes upstairs and she hides. 2161 01:32:39.520 --> 01:32:42.359 She listens to her parents as they talk, and Pamela 2162 01:32:42.439 --> 01:32:44.239 asks Colin if they can make another go of it, 2163 01:32:45.000 --> 01:32:47.520 and Colin says he doesn't know, and Pamela starts to weep, 2164 01:32:47.720 --> 01:32:51.399 and she says. He says, I'm joking you daft cow. 2165 01:32:51.840 --> 01:32:56.720 Now, what is this relationship, Paul? What is this relationship? 2166 01:32:57.039 --> 01:33:00.239 I think? Here's here's my theory. Here's my theory. They 2167 01:33:00.520 --> 01:33:05.600 over peppered the sauce with Pamela because the whole concept 2168 01:33:05.640 --> 01:33:07.239 of the movie is got fucking cheats on him and 2169 01:33:07.319 --> 01:33:10.880 moves in with someone else that Colin genuinely loves Pamela 2170 01:33:11.600 --> 01:33:14.800 and her complaints are legitimate. We don't see them. But 2171 01:33:15.079 --> 01:33:16.880 she's like, he doesn't pay any attention to me anymore. 2172 01:33:16.920 --> 01:33:19.359 Like it's a very common trope, right, like the marriage 2173 01:33:19.399 --> 01:33:23.560 has gone stale, but we don't see him do that. 2174 01:33:23.840 --> 01:33:26.680 We only have her word for it. And again, this 2175 01:33:26.880 --> 01:33:29.920 is the woman who we met with the Auschwitz reference. 2176 01:33:30.239 --> 01:33:33.399 It's like we're a little iffy on pam you know, so, 2177 01:33:33.640 --> 01:33:35.960 like I think they they needed to make her more 2178 01:33:36.000 --> 01:33:39.840 sympathetic and him less sympathetic because he just forgives her. 2179 01:33:40.000 --> 01:33:43.399 Although somehow the powers of Jim Broadbent make you daft 2180 01:33:43.560 --> 01:33:46.119 cow sound affectionate so sweet. 2181 01:33:47.199 --> 01:33:50.560 Honestly, it's these actors, because Jemma Jones too, Like on 2182 01:33:50.800 --> 01:33:53.800 paper Pamela is the worst, but like she plays her 2183 01:33:53.840 --> 01:33:57.479 in this way that's so sweet, yeah, and so like daffy, yeah, 2184 01:33:57.600 --> 01:33:59.520 kind of like you're like, well, it's not her fault. 2185 01:33:59.600 --> 01:34:01.760 She's just daffy, like she doesn't know what she's doing. 2186 01:34:02.039 --> 01:34:04.079 And she says, like, you used to be mad about me, 2187 01:34:04.159 --> 01:34:06.640 you never paid any attention, Like she does explain to 2188 01:34:06.840 --> 01:34:08.319 him what happened? Did we hear? Do that? 2189 01:34:08.399 --> 01:34:09.920 So I have no career, I have no life, I 2190 01:34:09.960 --> 01:34:12.199 don't kid anymore to raise, like, what even do I 2191 01:34:12.279 --> 01:34:12.880 do with myself? 2192 01:34:13.079 --> 01:34:16.319 Yeah? So they embrace and they get back together, and 2193 01:34:16.399 --> 01:34:18.319 in the next day her parents are off to the 2194 01:34:18.399 --> 01:34:21.640 Darcy's wedding anniversary party. So we're in between Christmas and 2195 01:34:21.680 --> 01:34:25.560 New Year's yep. And Pamela points out with a twinkle 2196 01:34:25.600 --> 01:34:27.880 in her eye to Bridget that Mark will be there 2197 01:34:28.520 --> 01:34:30.359 and she has a hard time of year for him, 2198 01:34:30.439 --> 01:34:32.600 after all, his wife left him around Christmas for the 2199 01:34:32.680 --> 01:34:34.840 best man at his wedding who was his best friend 2200 01:34:34.960 --> 01:34:39.920 at Cambridge Row. And everything falls into place, she said. 2201 01:34:40.039 --> 01:34:42.399 Pamela says, you know, he was coming home and he 2202 01:34:42.479 --> 01:34:45.840 found them in a most unorthodox position, which there's a 2203 01:34:45.920 --> 01:34:49.239 brief flash back to this happening. It's not that unorthodox, 2204 01:34:49.359 --> 01:34:50.359 it's pretty orthodox. 2205 01:34:50.520 --> 01:34:52.840 Honestly, I think the movie wanted a PG thirteen and 2206 01:34:52.880 --> 01:34:54.319 that was the best they could do. They're like, we 2207 01:34:54.399 --> 01:34:56.600 can't get more on a box in this and still 2208 01:34:57.119 --> 01:34:58.279 still have a PG thirteen. 2209 01:34:58.439 --> 01:35:00.439 We can't go side saddle. We don't know how high bobs. 2210 01:35:02.359 --> 01:35:04.920 Bridget says, Oh my god, I'm coming. I'm coming. Give 2211 01:35:04.960 --> 01:35:06.039 me five minutes. I'm gonna get ready. 2212 01:35:06.119 --> 01:35:09.479 In case you're wondering that is Daniel. So Bridget shows 2213 01:35:09.520 --> 01:35:11.439 up to the party looking the best she's ever looked 2214 01:35:11.479 --> 01:35:14.600 in the whole movie. That black dress stunning, Yeah, love it. 2215 01:35:15.119 --> 01:35:19.640 She spots Mark, and before he can flee, Bridget apologizes 2216 01:35:19.880 --> 01:35:22.560 for the misunderstanding and the history with Daniel. She's like, listen, 2217 01:35:22.720 --> 01:35:24.399 he lied to me about who you were. I'm so 2218 01:35:24.600 --> 01:35:27.840 sorry I believed him. So they kind of mend the 2219 01:35:27.920 --> 01:35:29.920 rift between them, and she pulls him aside and she 2220 01:35:30.000 --> 01:35:33.439 tells him, listen, I like you just the way you are, 2221 01:35:34.479 --> 01:35:36.760 and it would be really nice if you wanted to 2222 01:35:36.840 --> 01:35:39.279 come over sometime and spend time with me and hang 2223 01:35:39.319 --> 01:35:41.359 out and get to know each other better. Before he 2224 01:35:41.399 --> 01:35:44.119 can respond, we hear glasses clinking and everyone is called 2225 01:35:44.159 --> 01:35:45.800 back into the main room for a toast. 2226 01:35:45.960 --> 01:35:48.000 You know what's interesting about this movie that just occurred 2227 01:35:48.039 --> 01:35:50.199 to me and why I think it works better than 2228 01:35:50.239 --> 01:35:55.439 some other romantic comedies. They're both deeply flawed, whereas lots 2229 01:35:55.479 --> 01:35:59.199 of times with romantic comedies you get like Kookie flaws, 2230 01:35:59.319 --> 01:36:02.039 like she's a club and he's uptight, you know, and 2231 01:36:02.199 --> 01:36:06.119 like they they blow those flow those flaws up to 2232 01:36:06.680 --> 01:36:09.079 not not to an unto a realistic place like he's 2233 01:36:09.159 --> 01:36:10.920 really uptight and he's kind of an asshole. 2234 01:36:11.199 --> 01:36:13.840 Well yeah, she calls him haughty and arrogant in this scene, 2235 01:36:13.880 --> 01:36:15.479 she's like, listen, I'd like you just the way you are, 2236 01:36:15.520 --> 01:36:17.399 even though you're haughty and you're arrogant and your mom 2237 01:36:17.520 --> 01:36:19.680 dresses you stupidly, and I really think you need to 2238 01:36:19.760 --> 01:36:22.039 rethink the side your sideburns. 2239 01:36:21.880 --> 01:36:22.560 And how long they are. 2240 01:36:22.720 --> 01:36:25.039 So they go in for the toast and Mark's father 2241 01:36:25.159 --> 01:36:27.920 announces that Mark has been offered a partnership in a 2242 01:36:28.000 --> 01:36:30.640 New York law firm. His father says Mark will be 2243 01:36:30.720 --> 01:36:33.279 going to New York. He'll be taking his law partner 2244 01:36:33.399 --> 01:36:35.479 Natasha with him, and then he makes an inference that 2245 01:36:35.600 --> 01:36:38.640 maybe someday they'll be partners in more than in. 2246 01:36:38.840 --> 01:36:42.359 Just law right, and then the band plays Dun Dun. 2247 01:36:43.840 --> 01:36:51.439 Everyone toasts and Bridget shouts no. Everyone looks at her 2248 01:36:51.560 --> 01:36:55.600 and like, like the smooth operator that she always is, 2249 01:36:55.720 --> 01:36:59.359 she says, it's just such a shame for England to 2250 01:36:59.520 --> 01:37:02.560 lose such a great legal brain. 2251 01:37:04.800 --> 01:37:06.920 We should do this in an English accent to really 2252 01:37:07.199 --> 01:37:10.720 submit the moment. It's just such a shine flying Land 2253 01:37:11.640 --> 01:37:13.800 to lose such a legal brine. 2254 01:37:14.880 --> 01:37:17.119 It's really too bad. Adele isn't a movie star. 2255 01:37:19.520 --> 01:37:22.279 We see Mark arriving at JFK, which really has to 2256 01:37:22.399 --> 01:37:24.439 just be Heathrow with the sign above that says welcome 2257 01:37:24.479 --> 01:37:26.840 to JFK, because I can't believe they flew him all 2258 01:37:26.840 --> 01:37:29.159 the way out here to kill that scene. Well, Bridget 2259 01:37:29.279 --> 01:37:32.039 changes the title of her journal from Bridget Jones's Diary 2260 01:37:32.239 --> 01:37:36.359 to Diary of Bridget Jones Colon, Spinster and Lunatic. 2261 01:37:37.000 --> 01:37:37.720 Hey gotta own it. 2262 01:37:39.039 --> 01:37:41.359 She's just humiligated herself in front of everyone she's ever 2263 01:37:41.399 --> 01:37:44.600 grown up with. A few days past and her friends 2264 01:37:44.680 --> 01:37:46.239 show up to cheer her up and take her to 2265 01:37:46.319 --> 01:37:48.640 Paris for the weekend, help her forget all about Mark. 2266 01:37:49.000 --> 01:37:51.439 Stupid Darcy. Good friends, good friends. 2267 01:37:51.560 --> 01:37:53.880 They usher her out into the snow and they are 2268 01:37:53.960 --> 01:37:55.479 good friends at the same time, toy like, come the 2269 01:37:55.520 --> 01:37:59.319 fuck on, Bridget, hurry up. They all start to climb 2270 01:37:59.359 --> 01:38:02.000 into the car while Bridget hunts for her keys to 2271 01:38:02.079 --> 01:38:04.720 lock up the apartment, and as she's standing on the sidewalk, 2272 01:38:05.479 --> 01:38:06.840 Mark appears behind Ooh. 2273 01:38:08.279 --> 01:38:11.079 He tells her he was in America but he forgot 2274 01:38:11.159 --> 01:38:14.520 something in England. He'd forgotten to kiss her goodbye, and 2275 01:38:14.760 --> 01:38:19.960 all across the land basements flooded simultaneous. Would she mind? 2276 01:38:20.239 --> 01:38:21.760 He even asked for consent Erica. 2277 01:38:21.880 --> 01:38:26.319 Would you mind if I kissed you, hi, lie Dah. 2278 01:38:27.359 --> 01:38:30.319 Bridget says not really, and they go for the kiss, 2279 01:38:30.439 --> 01:38:32.560 but before they do, Bridget asks if this means that 2280 01:38:32.600 --> 01:38:36.039 he's not going to America, and he smiles and says not. 2281 01:38:36.680 --> 01:38:38.640 Her friends are like, are you fucking coming or not? 2282 01:38:38.760 --> 01:38:41.039 And she's like no, They're like yay, and they all 2283 01:38:41.119 --> 01:38:45.079 drive away right, and she brings Mark upstairs. He goes 2284 01:38:45.159 --> 01:38:47.680 to kiss her, but she excuses herself. She said, give 2285 01:38:47.720 --> 01:38:48.520 me one second. 2286 01:38:49.000 --> 01:38:51.159 She rushes into her room to change in her underwear. 2287 01:38:51.199 --> 01:38:54.039 She says this is an occasion for genuinely tiny knickers. 2288 01:38:54.520 --> 01:38:55.359 She's changing out of. 2289 01:38:55.319 --> 01:38:58.880 Her granny panties and into some sexy underwear. Meanwhile, Mark 2290 01:38:58.960 --> 01:39:01.199 is browsing through her books magazine she told him to. 2291 01:39:01.680 --> 01:39:04.359 He's not like snooping. She's like, read some magazines, enjoy yourself. 2292 01:39:04.760 --> 01:39:07.600 And he finds her open diary just on the table, 2293 01:39:08.359 --> 01:39:11.479 and there's all sorts of less than complimentary things written 2294 01:39:11.520 --> 01:39:13.720 about him inside of it. He finds a passage where 2295 01:39:13.720 --> 01:39:15.840 she's like, I'm glad his clever wife left him. 2296 01:39:15.840 --> 01:39:16.680 He's such an asshole. 2297 01:39:16.880 --> 01:39:19.520 Bridget suddenly hears the door slam and all she has 2298 01:39:19.600 --> 01:39:22.640 on is like a tiny cameusol in those genuinely tiny nickers, 2299 01:39:22.680 --> 01:39:24.760 which are, by the way, leopard print yep or no 2300 01:39:24.960 --> 01:39:26.079 zebra print, zebra print. 2301 01:39:26.119 --> 01:39:28.880 Don't think leopard print, No, no, I believe zebra Okay, 2302 01:39:29.119 --> 01:39:31.119 what if we just argue about this for forty five minutes. 2303 01:39:31.399 --> 01:39:34.000 Goddamn it, Erica, how dare you? Paul? 2304 01:39:34.119 --> 01:39:36.600 It is misogynistic of you to assume leopard print. 2305 01:39:36.880 --> 01:39:40.399 Learn your fucking African animals, you idiot. 2306 01:39:42.680 --> 01:39:45.479 So she opens the window and she sees Mark walking away, 2307 01:39:45.520 --> 01:39:47.079 and she's like, Mark, what's happening? 2308 01:39:47.199 --> 01:39:48.920 And he ignores her, and she's like, what the fuck? 2309 01:39:49.239 --> 01:39:50.159 So she turns around. 2310 01:39:50.239 --> 01:39:52.800 She sees the open diary on the kitchen table and goes, oh, no, 2311 01:39:53.800 --> 01:39:57.239 he read the diary. She runs after him, and then 2312 01:39:57.359 --> 01:39:59.920 two seconds later runs back into the apartment. She's like, oh, 2313 01:40:00.640 --> 01:40:03.479 it's freezing, by the way, it's snowing. It's heavily snowing 2314 01:40:03.560 --> 01:40:07.479 out right.

Honestly, there's a whole 2467 01:47:12.680 --> 01:47:13.840 movie called Austin Land. 2468 01:47:14.079 --> 01:47:14.479 It's true. 2469 01:47:14.720 --> 01:47:19.159 That is basically that premise.

Yeah, yeah, this one, this one, this one, Okay, 2484 01:47:55.600 --> 01:47:57.159 all right, do you want to go first or should 2485 01:47:57.159 --> 01:47:57.600 I go first? 2486 01:47:58.239 --> 01:47:59.279 I'll go first on this one. 2487 01:47:59.319 --> 01:47:59.560 Okay. 2488 01:47:59.560 --> 01:48:01.720 Look, I do think this film ages quite well. 2489 01:48:01.880 --> 01:48:05.399 I think the conversation around it to maybe tainted a 2490 01:48:05.439 --> 01:48:08.479 lot of people's perceptions of what the film was, even 2491 01:48:08.520 --> 01:48:10.680 though this is a woman who, like to her bones, 2492 01:48:10.720 --> 01:48:13.520 wants to be like settled down and married and and 2493 01:48:13.600 --> 01:48:14.399 all of that stuff. 2494 01:48:14.520 --> 01:48:17.239 Like that's a result of basing this on a novel 2495 01:48:17.359 --> 01:48:18.439 that's two hundred years old. 2496 01:48:18.600 --> 01:48:20.800 Yeah, Like that's another like you have to have that 2497 01:48:21.079 --> 01:48:23.680 plot point, right, That's like that's what she's driving towards, 2498 01:48:23.760 --> 01:48:26.199 that's what she thinks she needs to drive toward. But 2499 01:48:26.399 --> 01:48:28.920 I think there's a lot of self actualization that happens 2500 01:48:28.960 --> 01:48:31.159 in the course of the movie where she realized she 2501 01:48:31.520 --> 01:48:34.439 dumps Daniel. That's new, that's not from pride and prejudice, 2502 01:48:34.640 --> 01:48:36.479 Like that character turns out to be a shithead and 2503 01:48:36.560 --> 01:48:38.399 that's all there is. But like in this there's like 2504 01:48:38.640 --> 01:48:41.560 Daniel comes to her and is like, hey, I think 2505 01:48:42.159 --> 01:48:43.880 I think you and I should try to make this work, 2506 01:48:43.920 --> 01:48:46.840 and she's like, actually, no, like I deserve better and 2507 01:48:47.000 --> 01:48:50.319 I can do better, and I would rather be alone 2508 01:48:50.359 --> 01:48:50.960 than within with. 2509 01:48:51.039 --> 01:48:51.600 Someone like you. 2510 01:48:52.079 --> 01:48:54.640 And so there are like updates to the to the 2511 01:48:54.760 --> 01:48:59.279 original work that I think make it age very very 2512 01:48:59.319 --> 01:49:03.479 well even today, even twenty five years later. No people 2513 01:49:03.560 --> 01:49:07.760 of color, obviously sorry, and even gay representations. Is like 2514 01:49:07.840 --> 01:49:10.840 one dude, it's Tom, Hi, Tom, just standing out in 2515 01:49:10.840 --> 01:49:11.279 the background. 2516 01:49:11.399 --> 01:49:14.479 It is two thousand and one. Yeah, so that was enough. 2517 01:49:15.000 --> 01:49:17.560 Frankly, he hits on someone, he flirts with someone, So 2518 01:49:17.640 --> 01:49:19.880 it's not like, you know, he's not like sexless or anything. 2519 01:49:20.199 --> 01:49:24.039 The fat jokes are not jokes. What you remember, what 2520 01:49:24.119 --> 01:49:27.079 you thought were coming were jokes, and they're not. They're 2521 01:49:27.159 --> 01:49:30.840 her grappling with how she looks and her weight and thinking, 2522 01:49:30.920 --> 01:49:33.840 I must improve myself. I will never get anyone if 2523 01:49:33.880 --> 01:49:36.760 I don't improve myself. I must smoke less, I must 2524 01:49:36.840 --> 01:49:39.159 drink less, I must work out more, I must be thin, 2525 01:49:39.279 --> 01:49:40.199 I must be perfect. 2526 01:49:40.600 --> 01:49:42.880 And she she tries no matter. 2527 01:49:42.760 --> 01:49:44.640 The harder she tries, the worse it gets for her, 2528 01:49:44.960 --> 01:49:47.039 and she actually ends up gaining weight throughout the movie, 2529 01:49:47.119 --> 01:49:50.119 and I think, and Mark loves her anyway does not matter, 2530 01:49:50.319 --> 01:49:53.279 and she realizes by the end that's the point, Like 2531 01:49:53.399 --> 01:49:53.840 it doesn't. 2532 01:49:54.000 --> 01:49:56.159 It doesn't fucking matter. He looks me just as I am. 2533 01:49:56.880 --> 01:49:59.680 So I think it ages quite well despite some of 2534 01:49:59.760 --> 01:50:02.520 its two thousand and one isms, because it does have 2535 01:50:02.640 --> 01:50:04.239 quite a few two thousand and one isms. 2536 01:50:05.000 --> 01:50:06.960 I'm gonna give it a seven. Okay, I'm gonna give 2537 01:50:06.960 --> 01:50:08.079 a seven out of ten. 2538 01:50:08.920 --> 01:50:12.800 Uh. Ride in Prejudices, I have not made Erica this 2539 01:50:12.880 --> 01:50:14.880 happy maybe ever in our entire friendship. 2540 01:50:15.319 --> 01:50:18.159 That's so good, so funny what I've said. 2541 01:50:18.319 --> 01:50:20.800 Ride and Prejudices, where you have to go through the 2542 01:50:20.960 --> 01:50:23.640 Mary Tunnel where it's just stopping to read a book 2543 01:50:23.680 --> 01:50:27.680 for an hour, Mary the Best Bennett's sister. 2544 01:50:27.800 --> 01:50:30.159 I said what I said, Okay, how about. 2545 01:50:29.880 --> 01:50:32.479 You, Paul? Uh yeah, No, I think you're right like 2546 01:50:32.600 --> 01:50:35.159 I do exactly what you said. With the perception of 2547 01:50:35.239 --> 01:50:38.720 the movie has really made everyone think that it's all 2548 01:50:38.760 --> 01:50:42.159 about a very petite Renee Zellwegger calling herself fat the 2549 01:50:42.199 --> 01:50:44.079 whole time and everyone calling herself fat, and that being 2550 01:50:44.119 --> 01:50:46.520 the jokes, which it's not. It just isn't like, that's 2551 01:50:46.560 --> 01:50:49.039 not what the movie is actually saying or trying to do. 2552 01:50:50.000 --> 01:50:52.079 I don't have rose colored glasses, do I write? Like 2553 01:50:52.439 --> 01:50:53.279 am I being crazy. 2554 01:50:53.399 --> 01:50:55.199 I don't think so. I don't think so. I think 2555 01:50:55.319 --> 01:50:58.239 that it's I think that the two thousand and oneness 2556 01:50:58.399 --> 01:51:01.760 of it comes out in this sense that I, as 2557 01:51:01.840 --> 01:51:05.239 of viewer, fully believe that women of all shapes and 2558 01:51:05.279 --> 01:51:08.319 sizes go through these kinds of struggles, which I think 2559 01:51:08.359 --> 01:51:12.079 is what the movie is is driving towards. Yeah, but 2560 01:51:12.800 --> 01:51:16.880 in saying that, the movie still does erase an enormous 2561 01:51:16.960 --> 01:51:19.199 portion of the population that does not look like renee 2562 01:51:19.319 --> 01:51:22.920 Cell Wegger, which is, to be fair, the vast majority 2563 01:51:22.920 --> 01:51:25.319 of everybody, like Reneelle Wegger is very very good looking, 2564 01:51:25.720 --> 01:51:29.800 you know, is al right fine, you know. So there's 2565 01:51:30.079 --> 01:51:32.680 that portion of it, which I think, like in our 2566 01:51:32.800 --> 01:51:35.319 in our current culture, which is a little more focused 2567 01:51:35.359 --> 01:51:37.319 on stuff like this, the more aware of stuff like this, 2568 01:51:38.640 --> 01:51:43.239 it comes off as a little disingenuous, ill glib. Maybe, 2569 01:51:44.760 --> 01:51:47.319 So I see yours. I see what you're saying. I 2570 01:51:47.359 --> 01:51:50.319 think that's an accurate, totally valid reading. And I could 2571 01:51:50.359 --> 01:51:53.520 see someone looking at it and being like, sure, but 2572 01:51:53.760 --> 01:51:56.000 still everyone in this movie is a size too, like 2573 01:51:56.079 --> 01:52:01.079 Perpetua is a size maybe four, But like there's not 2574 01:52:01.239 --> 01:52:05.439 even people of size or people, yeah, like people of color, 2575 01:52:05.560 --> 01:52:08.239 like on the edges also living live like it's it's 2576 01:52:08.439 --> 01:52:11.760 very homogeneous in its in its view of people. Yeah, 2577 01:52:12.600 --> 01:52:14.640 so I think those would be the two ways to 2578 01:52:14.720 --> 01:52:17.960 go for it, and I think both of those pathways 2579 01:52:17.960 --> 01:52:20.520 are valid given how you how you're gonna feel about it. 2580 01:52:20.680 --> 01:52:23.079 I also want to point out that Daniel never calls 2581 01:52:23.079 --> 01:52:26.159 her fat, never talks about her like he's into her 2582 01:52:26.279 --> 01:52:29.079 from the jump like there's no he's not, like you 2583 01:52:29.239 --> 01:52:32.359 be cuter if you lost five pounds, like he's deeply 2584 01:52:32.479 --> 01:52:34.640 into her giant, lovely boobs. 2585 01:52:34.840 --> 01:52:36.840 The calls are definitely coming from inside the house or 2586 01:52:36.880 --> 01:52:39.920 from other women. Yeah, Mark and Daniel have no issue 2587 01:52:39.960 --> 01:52:42.239 with Bridget's weight. Yeah, Daniel may have an issue with 2588 01:52:42.279 --> 01:52:45.920 her smoking, as we discussed. But so yeah, I think 2589 01:52:45.960 --> 01:52:47.520 how well the movie is gonna age is kind of 2590 01:52:47.640 --> 01:52:50.520 going to depend on your perception of that those two 2591 01:52:50.560 --> 01:52:53.279 paths the movie can take. I do agree with you 2592 01:52:53.399 --> 01:52:55.960 that I think the path the movie wants to take 2593 01:52:56.079 --> 01:52:57.600 is the path path you're describing. 2594 01:52:57.880 --> 01:53:00.760 I mean, it's worth pointing out two female director writer. 2595 01:53:01.119 --> 01:53:03.640 Yeah, it has the backup, it has the receipts on it. 2596 01:53:04.199 --> 01:53:07.880 So I think I think overall ages pretty well. There's 2597 01:53:07.960 --> 01:53:11.199 no people of color. It's two thousand and one. Let's 2598 01:53:11.239 --> 01:53:13.000 go people, Let's just do a little better than this, 2599 01:53:13.359 --> 01:53:16.079 Like you're in London. I'm fine with the gay character. 2600 01:53:16.279 --> 01:53:18.239 Like he gets he gets just as much, if not 2601 01:53:18.319 --> 01:53:20.359 more than the other friends. And he's fun. He has 2602 01:53:20.359 --> 01:53:22.079 a good time. As a couple of scenes, I'm going 2603 01:53:22.159 --> 01:53:24.399 to give it a six. I'm going to give it 2604 01:53:24.439 --> 01:53:29.640 a six out of ten. Ride in Prejudices. Would they 2605 01:53:29.680 --> 01:53:31.840 have like the animatronics you know in Disneyland they have 2606 01:53:31.920 --> 01:53:33.720 like the for the Jurassic Park that have like beating one. 2607 01:53:33.800 --> 01:53:35.479 We have like Gwyneth Paltrow, and. 2608 01:53:36.960 --> 01:53:39.439 They have one that's Lady Catherine de Berg just telling 2609 01:53:39.479 --> 01:53:40.800 everyone what garbage they are. 2610 01:53:41.039 --> 01:53:44.359 As we pass by Gwneth Paltrow. They would just film 2611 01:53:44.359 --> 01:53:45.640 her in her home and they would just add a 2612 01:53:45.720 --> 01:53:48.239 dress on her and post everything would work. Everything would 2613 01:53:48.239 --> 01:53:52.359 just make sense. I suspect there are gonna be people 2614 01:53:52.359 --> 01:53:54.840 who feel like the movie age is much worse. I 2615 01:53:54.960 --> 01:53:57.199 think the biggest complaint I hear about this movie is 2616 01:53:57.359 --> 01:54:01.680 it's about Renee Zelbecker being fat, and I don't think 2617 01:54:01.760 --> 01:54:04.319 that's what the movie intends. I think that the talk 2618 01:54:04.359 --> 01:54:07.720 around it at the time has colored a lot of 2619 01:54:07.760 --> 01:54:09.680 our perceptions of a colored mind. I know, it definitely 2620 01:54:09.720 --> 01:54:11.600 colored what I was expecting when I watched this movie, 2621 01:54:11.720 --> 01:54:13.680 So I suspect that has happened for other people as well. 2622 01:54:14.359 --> 01:54:18.800 It's take on women and their weight and how society 2623 01:54:18.840 --> 01:54:21.520 perceives them, I think is a little more interesting than that, 2624 01:54:21.800 --> 01:54:22.520 A lot more interesting. 2625 01:54:22.760 --> 01:54:25.960 Let's get real earned, Yeah, fucking earned. Like the actors 2626 01:54:26.079 --> 01:54:27.800 gained twenty pounds and everyone lost their shit. 2627 01:54:27.960 --> 01:54:30.319 Meanwhile, like actors gained fifty pounds and they're like, oh, 2628 01:54:30.399 --> 01:54:31.399 what an amazing thing? 2629 01:54:31.760 --> 01:54:32.359 Is how great? 2630 01:54:32.680 --> 01:54:35.000 Yeah? Yeah, and this actress gained twenty pounds and they're like, well, 2631 01:54:35.119 --> 01:54:39.760 is she gonna fit in the seat? How's she gonna 2632 01:54:39.760 --> 01:54:40.359 go to the premiere? 2633 01:54:40.560 --> 01:54:40.680 Oh? 2634 01:54:40.720 --> 01:54:42.920 We have to butter the doors so she can get through, 2635 01:54:43.560 --> 01:54:44.119 is christ? 2636 01:54:45.840 --> 01:54:47.600 So yeah, I'm gonna give it a six, a six 2637 01:54:47.680 --> 01:54:51.520 out of ten. Ride in Prejudices and I don't feel 2638 01:54:51.520 --> 01:54:53.119 the need to offer a palate cunser. I think this 2639 01:54:53.239 --> 01:54:55.079 is this is kind of the first Bridget Jones. I 2640 01:54:55.119 --> 01:54:58.039 think is kind of like movie classic. You should you 2641 01:54:58.079 --> 01:55:01.439 should watch it? Yeah, rom com class agreed. Yeah, so 2642 01:55:02.039 --> 01:55:05.840 so funny, excellent. So that is the end of our show. 2643 01:55:06.079 --> 01:55:11.079 Everyone listening, can follow us on threads on Instagram.
