Bend It Like Beckham

But first, I watched the "Who Wants to Cook Aloo Gobi?" short. Oh my God, are Gurinder's aunt and mom adorable. And I've never had aloo gobi, but watching this is seriously making me hungry for it.

You know, it might not be a sprained ankle, but I'm not feeling all that great. Can I have a foot massage from Jonathan Rhys Meyers?

If I'd been Keira, and I'd known beforehand they were going to make me wear the skimpiest top imaginable in a club scene, I think I would have made sure I didn't have tan lines accordant with wearing a total-body swimming outfit from 1912.

Jonathan should not be allowed to run or dance. He probably shouldn't walk, either. Quite frankly, he should be wheeled from place to place on a handcart and propped up to act in different places. He manages to be all cool and sexy right up until he gets up and suddenly he's trying out for leadership of the Ministry of Silly Walks.

God, I love this soundtrack. *swoons at the pretty music*

The team redressing Jess for the wedding is just the cutest shot.

And now, onto Freaky Friday.

So is it worth a rental? What is it about?

It's about football. No, wait, you're a Bloody American. It's about soccer. And girls who play soccer. One of whom is Keira Knightley, and another of whom is that new intern on ER. And culture clash in modern Britain. And... well, actually I haven't seen it, because I'm the only British man on the planet who finds football soccer deathly boring. But that's what it's all about.

I don't know about anybody else, but American football bores me so much, I'd much rather call soccer football the way normal people on this planet do. (Of course, it's not that much more interesting to me than American football, but I loved the movie anyway.)

So, worst case scenario, I look at Keira for two hours? I have heard of worse fates.
