Actually, what we really need is more gay romantic comedies. (-:

[emthejedichic.livejournal.com]

THIS.

[deadtree.livejournal.com]

hear, hear!

[amethyst-rei.livejournal.com]

YES. x100.

Guh, this so badly.

[bamboo.livejournal.com]

this

[(Anonymous)]

Yes, and hopefully they can avoid some of the sketchy things a lot of romcoms tend to pass off as harmlessly "romantic."

[fenm.livejournal.com]

True! But then, I want STRAIGHT romcoms to stop doing that shit, too...

[(Anonymous)]

Absolutely!

[(Anonymous)]

What kind of things? I don't watch a lot of romcoms.

[(Anonymous)]

Every psychotic thing Meg Ryan characters have done in every terrible romantic comedy she's ever forced on the world at large. Kidnapping, poisoning, etc.

[(Anonymous)]

Jesus, how'd I forget STALKING?

Then there was that Family Guy romcom parody about The Business Woman Who was So Busy With Business That She Forgot About Love (or whatever) where the male lead tells her "I plan to use the next ninety minutes convincing you that all of your problems can be solved with my penis!"

[(Anonymous)]

Excellent work.

Female abusing the male like its funny. One of them had a female raping the male and it was played for laughs (I think this was in one of those wedding movies). Romcoms can be sexist as hell. Women being damsels in distress that have to be rescued by men. Career women are suddenly unhappy in their jobs and are rescued from their unhappiness by finding their OTL and possibly quitting and becoming a mom. And on and on.

This Means War, not seen it yet (is it out yet?), just based on the plot description is creepy beyond belief and it's supposed to be a romcom, I believe. 2 CIA agents are "battling" it out to date this woman by bugging her house, phone, monitoring her email, etc. Basically being creepy-ass stalkers and you want to scream run away fast at the woman.

I believe that was The Wedding Crashers. When that part was described to me I could barely believe it. Later I caught a little bit of it on cable and realized right away what movie it was because it was just as creepy as described.

[(Anonymous)]

So far, so good on that front. There aren't a lot of gay romcoms, but the ones I've seen don't stray into the creepy, no really this is romantic and not abusive crap the way straight romcoms tend to.

[fenm.livejournal.com]

Any specific recs?

[rosehiptea.livejournal.com]

Heck yeah.

[havemy-heart.livejournal.com]

Yes

[smittenlotus.livejournal.com]

Yes please. :3

Also OP, watch Good Luck Chuck or The Ugly Truth. Those are two marketed rom coms that will make you never want to watch another one again, ever.

[rosehiptea.livejournal.com]

I didn't see it, but I have a friend who actually, unironically liked Good Luck Chuck. Then I saw Film Brain review it on Bad Movie Beatdown. Now I no longer trust my friend's taste in, well, anything.

[smittenlotus.livejournal.com]

I don't blame you. I don't know anyone like that personally but if I did I'd never trust their taste in anything either. I felt bad for ever finding Dane Cook even half funny after that god-awful, self-indulgent, misogynist and overall terrible piece of crap.

GLC is by far the most disgusting attempt at a rom-com I've ever seen, not to mention it'd probably be in my Top 20 Most Hated Movies list that I've seen in the last decade. I want to find whoever wrote that boil on the butt of humanity and smack the shit out of them, very unironically.

[raccoons.livejournal.com]

Came here to say this.

[(Anonymous)]

A thousand times yes.

[red-pill.livejournal.com]

i had never given it much thought befor i read this secret, but this was my first thought when i read it
