I know most people are going to roll their eyes after they read my comments, but I don't care. This is how I really feel.
As far as I'm concerned, romantic comedies should be categorized as fantasy films - yes, in the same genre as LORD OF THE RINGS.
In my opinion, most rom-coms are truly insulting, and a slap-in-the-face to reality. Love it or hate it, at least porn doesn't lie about lust being love. Lust is portrayed for what it is, transitory and superficial.
In a real life scenario, many rom-com characters would receive a restraining order, but not in these flicks. It's just one wacky obstacle and misunderstanding after another, and by the end, happiness infects everyone...quick, hand me the barf-bag!
As I write this, I'm going through the worst case of insomnia I've had in years and I also feel depressed. Why? Because I didn't realize that I had developed feelings for a woman. The depression is also about one of my family members passing away.
I have some really bad vision problems, and some days are definitely worse than others. The reason I mention that, is to point out that I became enamored of this woman because of her character. When I finally saw her exterior, I discovered she was just as attractive on the outside.
Imagine a highly intelligent, compassionate, and a far more heartbreakingly adorable version of Kate Hudson. That's how I'd describe her.
These are the facts, I will probably never see or hear from her again. That realization, hurts more than words can describe. If this were a ROM-COM, it would all end in mass happiness, not just for the main characters, but also to innocent bystanders, as they see me perform one somersault after another, up and down a New York City sidewalk. It all ends with laughter, hugs, kisses, and cheers... But this is real life, and it hurts.
