i’m behind on the stories and i have a lot of work to do for my fringe show but i gave my self a little break and went to see “crazy stupid love” with my mom and it got my brain going a bit and i need to write those things before i can work on lighting cues.
i like romantic comedies, i do. i like them because they are silly and formulaic and totally escapist. i like them because they are full of people i want to have sex with. HELLO RYAN GOSLING! and i also understand that they are UTTERLY unrealistic and i am ok with that. “crazy, stupid, love.” wasn’t so much a romantic comedy as it was a comedy of sorts about love but it made me realise something… i have never watched a movie about love (or sex) for that matter that i felt was for me; that i could identify with any of the main female protagonists…
this isn’t to say that i don’t believe in love because i do. i do completely! and i’ve been in love 4 times for real but i just can’t indentify. i don’t want to get into details galore about my personal life because it’s boring and irrelevant but for once, one time, for once i want to watch a movie in the big theatre having paid $12.50 and whatever for popcorn and see a comedy about love or a romantic comedy where i feel like it’s for me. for a girl who doesn’t look at love in the same way that other people do. just something a little… “alternative” maybe.
that’s all. i thought i had to rant. i could rant. but i can’t. i won’t. that isn’t the point of blogs… that what beers and dear friends are for. blogs are for posting hot pics of ryan gosling so if you didn’t click the link HERE YOU GO!
mmmmmm!
