Richard Curtis gave us Love Actually in 2003, one of the most iconic Christmas movies of this century. On December 4th, he is finally giving us another holiday film called That Christmas.
Curtis wanted to make the movie a little more magical, so he called his friend Ed Sheeran and asked him to write a song for his Netflix animated film. Today, the singer and the streaming service released Under the Tree.
“Richard Curtis made my fav Christmas film, and TV special,” Sheeran said. “He came round my house in 2021 and showed me a rough of his new one, then asked me to make a song for it. How could I resist. Having kids, I struggle to find great great movies for very young kids to watch at Christmas, and this ticks all the boxes. This song is written about a character in the film who wants to spend Christmas with his dad, but doesn’t get to. It’s a heartbreaking scene, and something so many people go through every year being alone at Christmas. Hope everyone loves the song.”
Even though it brought tears to my eyes, I still love it.
It sounds like I am also going to love the movie. That Christmas follows a series of entwined tales about love and loneliness, family and friends, and Santa Claus making a big mistake, not to mention an enormous number of turkeys!
Get the tissues ready because it sounds like there are going to be some moments that are going to make you cry. Actually, I think it is going to give us all of the feels. Just like Love Actually did.
Cameron Diaz announced that she was retiring from acting after the shitty remake of Annie with Jamie Foxx in 2014. So you would think she would never want to work with him again.
However, he was the only person who could coerce her to return to acting. So she got back in action to star with Foxx in Back in Action.

Netflix announced today that they picked up Outer Banks for a fifth and final season.
The co-creators & executive producers Jonas Pate, Josh Pate, and Shannon Burke released this statement about the final episode of the popular series:
Dispatch to all Pogues:
Seven years ago, in the summer of 2017, we came across a photo of teenagers on a beach at dusk during a power outage. That photo sparked an idea for a story of four best friends who only want to have a good time all the time. From this beginning, we imagined a mystery that would lead to a five-season journey of adventure, treasure hunting, and friendship.
At the time, seven years ago, it seemed impossible that we would really get to tell the whole five season story, but here we are, at the end of our fourth season, still chopping away.
The fourth season was our longest and hardest – but most rewarding – to produce. The season ends with a feature length episode, which we think is our best, most powerful episode. We hope you feel the same way.
Now, with a little sadness, but also excitement, we’re putting Season Four behind us, and are turning to Season Five, in which we hope to bring our beloved Pogues home in the way we imagined and planned years ago. Season Five will be our last season, and we think it will be our best yet. We hope you’ll join us for one more paddle out to the surf break.
P4L,
Josh, Jonas, and Shannon
Even though Netflix announced the final season today, the second part of the fourth season will premiere on November 7th.
Pogues, are you sad about this? I have never seen an episode, so I am not.
Remember when Sex/Life came out on Netflix, and everyone was telling you to go to episode 3 about 19 minutes in? And you were grateful they told you to do it?
What if instead of having to find that episode and scene, they could just send it to you and watch it over and over and over again?
Now, you can. The streaming service added a new feature called Moments.
Here’s how it works: Let’s say you’re watching the latest season of Bridgerton on your phone and want to save the scene where Colin and Penelope share their long-awaited kiss in the carriage. All you have to do is tap Moments at the bottom of your screen, and it’ll automatically save to your My Netflix tab.
You can revisit your Moments anytime on your phone, and if you rewatch the episode or film, it will start playing right from the scene you bookmarked.
And then you can share it on your favorite social media. This is a great thing because you no longer have to find it to share it. You just have to share it!
Which scene have you always wanted to share with your friends and family?
