Following your bliss is not self-indulgent, but vital; your whole physical system knows that this is the way to be alive in this world and the way to give to the world the very best that you have to offer. There IS a track just waiting for each of us and once on it, doors will open that were not open before and would not open for anyone else. - Joseph Campell

favourite onscreen couples

Alan Rickman & Emma Thompson

I am beginning to sound like a broken record here, but again two of my favourite actors, blah blah blah.  (Acutally, Emma is one of my idols.  I love her!!)  First off, I love that Emma and Alan are such good friends, and so obviously enjoy working together.  Love Actually is one of my favourites, and is a great annual tradition.  Emma was heartbreaking in it.  So good!!  I am so excited to see The Song of Lunch.  I understand it is different, and not everyone has bought into it. I am anxious to see it anyway.

One film they did together that I love is Judas Kiss.  They weren't romantic partners, but rather detective partners.  You could tell they were having a blast together playing these two well seasoned Southern detectives.  Great fun!!

Lastly, I just had to say that I just recently re-watched Sense & Sensibility, and had forgotten how much I had wanted Hugh Grant and Alan to have switched rolls.  Even back then I wanted to see Emma and Alan together.  Alan really was a perfect Col. Brandon though. I guess they knew what they were doing.
