Gah.

Okay - and I'm not kidding this time - just keep me away from the damn romantic movies where everyone falls in love and everything is sparkly and wonderful for ever and ever, because they really make me hideously depressed.

This post brought to you by the late show of Love Actually.

I'm glad to know I'm not the only person who had that reaction. My friend looked at me like I was crazy.

I haven't gone to see it for EXACTLY that reason!!! Stupid stupid sparkly people...

That's why I don't watch those kinds of movies. I kind of hate them.

Sadly, I kind of love them (if they're well done). I think I have something in my brain that makes me forget that I ever have a bad reaction to them until it's just too late.

That's a bummer. I loved the movie and didn't have that reaction, but then I'm in a relationship at the moment (for the first time in 7 years or so).

Not sure what my reaction would be if I weren't. I'd probably still like the film, but it'd make me melancholy. Lord knows years and years of not having any romance didn't stop me from liking some romantic comedies, I'd just get quiet and wistful afterwards.

See, the thing is that I really did like the movie - I was enjoying myself all the way through. And I would definitely recommend it to people. I just have this weird reaction after where I'm all happy, lalala, yay good movie, and suddenly I hate life.

So, you know, I should really know better, except that the movies are so much fun at the time. :)

You are the queen of the bad entertainment decision this week :)

All it takes is for Alternate Movie Trailer Voiceover Guy (you know, the guy with the light baritone, not the "IN A WORLD..." guy) to say that something is the Feelgood Movie of the Whatever, for me to start with the debilitating nausea. There's just no good there.

It's ok - tonight we're going to watch Daria DVDs, so I'm sure that'll be All Good.

And why is it that there are no Movie Trailer Voiceover Women? Not even for chick flick trailers. I wonder what that's about.

Whoa.

I would totally sign up for that course.

I get that. I felt completely pathetic after that movie (and I plan to go see it again this weekend!). Follow it up with some good old BJD wallowing and you're all set. Additional Colin Firth movies are good for what ails ya! (They're fucking good for everything else, too).
