One more tidbit about Love Actually...

I think a part of me just died a little.

The only thing I am bothered by with this movie is that I don't totally feel that the hot Carl storyline was resolved. Which is maybe the point. But poor Laura linney. She needed a little hot Carl at Christmas.

ah, see, due to his intermittent accent, i choose to believe it's ignorant brits ruining his real name, carlos. or maybe juancarlos. those are hotter names.

YES.

Do you remember the show Alf? It was lame but I loved it as a kid. Anyway, there's this one episode where Alf wants "carl" which is some plant they had on his home planet. The family eventually figures out that "carl" is ragweed. And many laugh tracks are played.

I have no idea how I remember that, but for some reason as a kid, that episode stuck in my head. And now I hear "Carl" and think "ragweed."

This is Carl.

Every time I read "hot Carl", I think of this: www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Hot%20Carl%2FKarl

Sorry, y'all.

Heh heh. Hot Carl.

He was also Paulo of LOST's much-hated Nikki and Paulo.

One of my husband's co-worker's had the last name of Carl. I still have no idea, after MH worked with him for 5 years and was good friends with him, what his first name is because MH and his co-workers always called him hot carl.
