And The Award For ‘Most Awkward’ On-Screen Sex Partners Goes To: Helen Hunt And Matthew Broderick

8:00AM Molly Friedman | After posting our positively gorgeous presentation of the most horrific sex scenes to ever grace the big screen, we’re delighted to learn of two new additions to the list. At a recent screening for Then She Found Me, starring Matthew Broderick, Colin Firth, and Helen Hunt (where has she been hiding by the way?), ex-couple Helen and Matthew gleefully dished to the NY Daily News on just what to expect during two reportedly not-so-steamy sex romps featured in the film.

Your Mr Darcy Fantasies? Colin Firth Spits On Them!

3:45PM Clem Bastow | Colin Firth, who went from the thinking woman’s crumpet after his ridiculously Mills & Boon-esque Mr-Darcy-in-the-lake moment in Pride & Prejudice to, well, more or less the same thing in Bridget Jones’ Diary, would like to make it known, lonely single women of the world, that men of the variety that he has made a successful career playing are fictional. Well, obviously the film characters are fictional, but Firth reckons there’s not even an archetype in real life to base them on. “I’ve decided the quintessential Englishman I play doesn’t exist. “I play him but you don’t run into him very often. There aren’t very many Mr. Darcys out there. I think he’s a figment of our folklore or film lore. “My character exists in mythology and he may have existed once but now he only exists in the hands of actors.” So there you have it! Stop dreaming of meeting your very own Mr Darcy, ladies – you may as well commit over-28s-night-induced hara kiri right now, and save yourself the bother! More »
