| What movies do I find incredibly boring? Romantic comedies. And not just because they're "chick flicks." Steel Magnolias is considered a "chick flick," yet it was a fantastic film. Almost every romantic comedy is a paint-by-number movie. Guy meets girl. Guy and girl hate each other. Guy and girl hook up. Guy and girl fight and break up. Guy and girl get back together and everything works out. The End.  I can't even sit through most romantic comedies. I'm not sure if I fall asleep or go brain dead for an hour and a half. _________________  If you're going to be a smart ass, you'd better be smart. Otherwise, you're just an ass. | |

| I totally agree wiith Wally on rom-coms, so formulaic.
I've tried watching Waking Life twice and fell asleep both times. It's just a bunch of scenes of people talking existentialist bullshit. _________________  Wallace108: Jon, how the hell do you expect any of us to ever follow your posts?

I feel like you can stereotype any genre of film which basically just comes down to bad formulaic films whether it's rom-coms or not. Punch-Drun Love is brilliant film not to mention most of Woody Allen's greatest films are rom-coms. Waking Life is brilliant man. You need to try to make it to the end. There are a few scenes talking about existentialism but the whole thing isn't "existential bullshit" it covers a lot more philosophy than that and for the most part is just Linklater's ideas on politics, religion and philosophy. _________________  (Big thanks to Wally for hooking me up with a great sig.)

| Sorry, these guys here can tell you that the only thing I like more than football is busting balls. _________________ Wallace108: Jon, how the hell do you expect any of us to ever follow your posts?

| I like A Lot Like Love. Pretty good movie, even if it follows the formula. But isn't the formula for love/romance predictable anyways?

Maybe at the end, have one of them get eaten by a shark, or abducted by an alien or something. _________________ If you're going to be a smart ass, you'd better be smart.

SPOILER ALERT: If you haven't watch Titanic or P.S. I Love You DON'T READ ANY FURTHER How about dying in the freezing ocean at the end or dying early in the movie?
