"They're worlds apart. But only a moment away... from destiny"
(from the Notting Hill trailer)

Once more resisting the lure of coherent, objective, well-researched academic discourse, Rob and Katie decide to "discuss" Notting Hill via an "Instant Messaging" program. The resulting delusional babble is reproduced on the following pages, less as a contribution to the academic debate on entertainment and more as a cautionary tale about what happens when grad students have unrestricted access to coffee and alcohol:

Part One: In which Katie recalls meeting Rob and Rob reveals his unhealthy level of paranoia
Part Two: In which Rob reveals his uncanny association with Hugh Grant and Katie insults him
Part Three: In which Katie recalls "falling" for Julia and Rob confesses to watching "Dawson's Creek"
Part Four: In which Katie talks and Rob rejects

NB: The reader will note an excess of hyperlinks in the discussion that follows. In order best to simulate the spatial fragmentation of consciousness that we attribute to living "in" Celebreality, you should follow as many of these links as possible. The apparent linearity and boundedness of the Platonic dialogue is belied by such disseminatory excursions...
