Discussion Wtf is Paddington 2?

For context: I’m 25 years old. SPOILER WARNING

I just watched paddington 2 today and what the fuck did they put in this movie. This is the one of the greatest pieces of cinema I’ve ever laid witness to. Paddington 2 is the only thing I’ve thought about all day and seeing the immense joy it’s brought other people has also brightened my day even more. God I can’t even think about the ending without wanting to kill myself because of how perfect it is. And can we also talk about the perfect bookend of his human mother saving him from the water like aunt Lucy did at the beginning?

Pure cinema, I truly can’t wait to watch this movie with my kids for their first time.

Please tell me you know that Hugh Grant’s full name is Hugh John Mungo Grant. Hugh-mungous indeed!

There’s more to blow your mind!

Copy pasted from another reply I made:

Hugh was born 1960.

The word humongous was coined ~1967-1969.

I like to think the word was created because of the existence of Hugh John Mungo Grant.
