Poll Did a Girlfriend you love dearly "Make" you watch The Notebook "Or Else"?

[Guy Gardener]

^ I'm picking up on that vibe.

I mean, I hear the phrase "The Notebook" and I flashback to the age-old conundrum: Wide Rule or College Rule? The eternal struggle...

Remember Dirty Dancing, and Titanic?

The Notebook was the next progression in that sequence.

Remember Dirty Dancing, and Titanic?

Nope. Those are two more movies I've never seen.

You mean the progression from Awesome to Shit?

I think he means the progression from shit to... opening your mouth while a slew of excrement thunders into it your soul.

 

[Mr. Laser Beam]

I do remember that Jerry Orbach was in Dirty Dancing, which would certainly elevate it to awesomeness.

You don't HAVE to see the film to know that.

It's field of dreams methodology.

This is what Hollywood built in 2004, and the usual suspects came.

It's not Hollywood's fault that this particular generation is a little wet behind the ears.

It's not your fault either.

Maybe the young women of today, yet another generation forward, looking for a turbulent coming of age/romance story will huddle around the new Mad Max trilogy?

Wait...which generation is "this" one? Because all those movies hit my generation of girls. I think I've got the rest of your post decoded.

Generations are actually nearly 35 years long if you believe Time Magazine.

I'm saying generation, but I'm really meaning "decade".

The new Cinderella story of the 80s, 90s, and noughties.

Personally I'm beginning to think that the new women/female children over 20 who would rewatch the same empowering "Romcom" over and over again, with ice cream to feel better about some disproportionate tragedy in their life, now just binge endless rerun of reality TV about Real Housewives or Kardashians, but I'm not willing to date someone that young to find out for sure.

Are movies dying?

Holy crap! I knew the name sounded familiar! He was Lumiere!

 

[Guy Gardener]

Why is the lowest common denominator with you always Disney?

 

[Sparkle Fabulosa]

It's like Six Degrees Of Kevin Bacon.

 

[Guy Gardener]

If every link in the chain was Kevin Bacon.

 

[Sparkle Fabulosa]

If that chain was a record, it would play this nonstop.

I've always seen Footloose as a boy power flick.

I haven't. Seen it I mean. Never got around to it.

 

[Guy Gardener]

Dancing gets outlawed by a small town Preacher.

New kid from the big city arrives, says "#### this" bangs the Preacher's daughter and organizes a sock hop.

The End.

 

[Sparkle Fabulosa]

It's like I was there!

I'm saying generation, but I'm really meaning "decade".

A generation is the distance between giving birth to one child and then that child becoming a parent. I'm raising an eyebrow at your ten years.
