...Lord, I am not cut out for romantic comedies. I just watched "Serendipity" and it ENRAGED me.

My dad, however, loved it. Typical.

I haven't seen that one, but these days most romantic comedies ENRAGE me. I used to be able to enjoy them in a totally superficial, matinee and popcorn movie type way. At this point, I'd rather see whatever the latest action explosion blockbuster movie is. I totally hear what you're saying about the typical plot structure, but for me I think it's the fucking heteronormativity--the reproduction of icky gender roles and heterosexual behavior norms just GROSSES ME OUT.

Heh -- it's that too, but I am making a concerted effort not to Lisa Simpson-out on EVERYTHING. My friends and family are tired enough of hearing me yak on and on about the evil of multinational corporations as it is!!

Oh, to be ignorant again (sometimes). *g*
