to think Carrie was a right bitch in Four Weddings and a Funeral?

Fair enough that she shagged Charles after the first wedding. The "are we engaged now?" joke wasn't funny, but still.
To then shag Charles at the second wedding while only just engaged to Scottish bloke was poor.
Inviting Charles to her wedding post-shag was iffy.
To then take Charles wedding-dress shopping and tell him about previous shags was shit of her. Plus she had a really expensive wedding-gift list and we all know how entitled that is.
To then have the audacity to attend his wedding when he's told her he loved her, AND to tell him moments before the ceremony that she'd left Scottish bloke - that was just cow-like behaviour.

Her only redeeming feature is that she had good taste in hats. I'm right, aren't I?

I'm sure I've read that SJP auditioned unsuccessfully for the role. Melanie Griffith would have been lovely, I bet she could have made Carrie likeable.

PasswordProtected Grin YES! Love that scene hehe.

Charlotte Coleman :( she was amazing in Oranges Are Not The Only Fruit as well.

I had such a crush on KST's character when this film first came out. She's amazing.

And I LOVE the bit where Charles's brother signs 'I blame myself' and all their friends chime 'oh no you mustn't, no' and Charles looks up and signs back wearily 'They all blame you too' Grin

Hmm, just remembered the thread was about Carrie. Um... I agree with the rest of you. Although me and my DM will do 'Thanks, I bought it specially' if we get a compliment.

I have one thing to add:
The bit on the South Bank with the inappropriate Sign Language and subsequent mistranslation.
"Scotland - lovely place, er, hilly"

Oh no! The best bit is the second wedding- Lydia's? The holy spigot?

I have also used the 'you must be VERY proud' line at a super posh wedding....that scene popped into my head as I was waiting in line to greet the wedding party.

Charlotte Coleman played the little girl in Worzel Gummidge, too. She was such a talented actress and died too young.

DSis are |always doing fake signing to "They/we all blame you too" :o we really need to get a life. I'm so glad to find there are other people who seem to conduct their day to day lives through film quotes. Our brother tells us we are weird Blush.
