Some of you are obviously on your monthly cycles.
Damn, Jigo. I did gloss over your post, but didn't read the whole thing. I'll say that I enjoy Love Actually around the holidays. The movie is "cute". But if we're talking Valentine's Day or The Notebook (which I've never seen and don't plan to), I can't stomach when it's overly cheesy. I like violence, I like drama, I like action. I don't like it when the movie throws in the love interest, just for the fact that the lead needs a love interest. There are movies that smoothly achieve this, and I'm ok with it.
When I watched Rocky-- I liked the fighting/training, but the aspect of Adrian was cute to begin with, but then it got to be too much (my humble opinion). I just wanted him to kick ass.
As for Jenny in Forrest Gump-- I understood him loving her, and her adoration for him, but I just didn't like that it took her forever to seem to only marry him out of obligation and not a genuine love. Again, that's just how I look at it. It could be a warped opinion, but that's what I got. I can say that I've only truly and genuinely loved one guy in my life, so maybe my opinion is probably not going to be that popular.
Give me something subtle (love story), I don't need it to be the main focus on a film, because like you Jigs, I probably won't be interested.
Can we get back to the horror movie discussion?
