This is the first time in a long time I haven’t seen a flood of library romantic comedy movies hit the Tuesday before Valentine’s Day weekend.

| Comments | Alex: Not Hentai (though I wouldn’t blame someone for thinking so from the title) – this is a romantic comedy anime where the premise is based around a male lead who is uncomfortable discussing the topic of intimacy dating a girl who is very candid and blunt when it comes to that topic. | ||||||||

Finally, the picks of the week. Alex says, “I am a big fan of Lee and Cushing, and will jump at the chance to see the two together in a film – so Horror Express has been on my watch list for quite some time.” Blaine says, “although I keep hearing wonderful things about Rick and Morty, I haven’t gotten around to it yet, so my pick of the titles I’ve personally seen would be the Fleisher era Popeye cartoons.”
Perhaps, but Four Weddings and a Funeral is the only romantic comedy you need, right?
It wasn’t even the best romantic comedy of the year, although it was the best in the English language.
I might end up red in the face, but I don’t know which one you mean.
And can it boast a cameo by Rowan Atkinson?
