I have no idea what any of this. What is this movie?

EmmaH2022 · 18/08/2022 22:28

It's at 1:12 here

I loved that line in both but totally forgot the film!

Catastrophe> fleabag

Heroicallyl0st · 18/08/2022 22:42

No idea. Probably a coincidence… ‘this too shall pass’ is an old phrase. Feelings pass. Want to re-watch Fleabag now!

ToooOldForThis · 18/08/2022 22:43

I don't know if it's a reference, but omg it was heartbreaking! Loved s2 of fleabag so much.

Catastrophe> fleabag

Both excellent but very different. I’m still a bit traumatised by the end of Catastrophe to be honest. If I ever meet Rob Delaney or Sharon Horgan i’m going to interrogate them about what really happened!

garlicandsapphires · 18/08/2022 22:45

That final scene was heartbreaking. Ah Fleabag!

Yes
but how common is it to say "it'll pass" in response to "I love you"?

PWB may be too young to see ALN as a big film.

Fleabag > Catastrophe

"It'll pass" is literally just words. A very common phrase. It's nothing to do with some random movie.

Catastrophe> fleabag

So true. Catastrophe had me crying with laughter and sadness. It’s so well written.

EmmaH2022 · 18/08/2022 22:46

Oh sorry, I never saw the end of Catastrophe...I got bored 😳

Oooh must watch this movie!

EmmaH2022 · 18/08/2022 22:49

Chillow it's got a top quality cheesy 80s soundtrack too.

Love my 80s brat club movies! Does this count? 😊

It's ok to be wrong

No need to apologise

Pallisers · 18/08/2022 22:51

oh I Loved About Last Night back in the day. they were both so beautiful.

The thing is now I'm in my 50s I realise that yeah, it will pass. I was traumatised reading The L Shaped Room in my teens - devastated that Toby had fallen out of love with her. Now I think 'she'll find someone else, it'll be grand"

Firefly86 · 18/08/2022 22:54

Only watched fleabag recently for the first time. It was amazing.

it is a great book but I have kind of given you a big spoiler there :)

JillPole123 · 18/08/2022 23:01

@Firefly86 Same! Now I understand the hype

crochetmeahat · 18/08/2022 23:01

The best line in that ALN scene is "I'll have to start drinking in the suburbs!"

Am typing this from the suburbs. My 15yo self would he disappointed

No worries, I don't mind spoilers, I must be a bit weird.
