Screw Romantic Comedies...
(I'm feeling calm)
What's the deal with "Romantic Comedies"? They are ALL the same. Think of any "Romantic Comedy" you've ever seen, and tell me if the following plotline fits it.
Two seemingly different people who nobody thinks would EVER get together become a couple. But... each of them has a secret. A secret that might/will hurt the other person when he/she finds out. Eventually, the two find out eachother's secret at the same time, through some blunder of their friends/theirfamily/themselves, and get mad and break up. Eventually, one of them decides to leave town, and at the same time, the other one decides he/she still loves him/her. Then they have a "dramatic" hookup at an airport/train station/concentration camp/empire state building etc.
Name me ONE "Romantic Comedy" that doesn't have that plot.
What Hollywood needs is more shoot/kill/explosion movies. Just violence in general. I'm not talking about movies like Saving Private Ryan, which is a great movie, but just a movie with nothing but people hitting eachother, crashing cars, and blowing up whales. No plot needed, just tons of gratuitous violence. Ohhh man I wanna see it already. I'm gonna go watch Terminator 2 again. Wouldn't that just dominate?
