romantic comedies = ruins life

I completely agree w/ this report that says romantic comadies can be hazardous to your lovelife/ruin your relationship. they create unrealistic standards and ideals and then if/when you compare your relationship to them, real life always seems inferior. chuck klosterman had it right. this chick had it right a year ago.

god, I hate it in movies when they see each other or meet each other and then after 1 hour they're like "i love you." fuck that noise. I'm talking to you,

Notting Hillhe (normal bookkeeper) spills coffee on her (famous actress) and she goes to his house and then immediately kisses him? give me a fuckin break

How to Lose a Guy in 10 Daysbar bet that falls perfectly into place? falling in love after 10 days? stopping a taxi on the brooklyn bridge? changing of hair from straight to curly to coincide with the falling in of the love? OVER IT.

although I do watch French Kiss whenever it's on tv. in its entirety. don't judge me.

one day in the future I'll make a feminism 101 post about how disney movies fuck up children, too. (I love you Little Mermaid, but how the fuck you gonna tell little girls that they only way to get their man and fall in love is to give up their voice and only use their body? so messed up)
