The Guy Eventually Falls For the Girl.
Posted on 09 February 2010
I have a confession to make. It happened two weeks ago. I won’t go into the details, but trust me, if I had only known prior to what happened, I would not have done it. Although I’m sharing this with you, please don’t bring it up in conversation, if you do I’ll never make eye contact with you again.
With that said…
I watched the movie “He’s Just Not That Into You.” Now before you take away my man card (which expires later this year. I’ll have to renew that) please let me explain a few things.
First, I do not like Drew Barrymore. Ever since I sat through that hellish movie where she stands on the baseball diamond for three hours waiting for a kiss, she has forever been tarnished. Like a roommate that eats your food when you’re not home, she cannot be redeemed. That movie is guilty of murder of the first degree; thousands are dead from its boring, stupid plot.
So when I realized that I was about to watch a Barrymore movie my insides squirmed. My body got feverishly hot, than cold, and then my lungs decided to stop functioning for awhile. It was a terrible feeling.
Barrymore does get one exception when it comes to E.T.. That movie is awesome.
Secondly, I made myself bothersome. I was the guy who will not shut up while watching a movie. My goal was more talking time than any of the major characters and I proudly succeeded. Any chance I was given to make clever banter I took. I applauded any beards I saw, scorned Barrymore when she appeared on the screen, and made a lot of jokes at the expense of women (there may have been a few bad tasting jokes, but in my defense I was fighting a battle against a large opponent. Estrogen).
Thirdly, I made it known how stupid the movie was. I’ve sat through chick flicks and afterwards acknowledged that I enjoyed the movie, HJNTIU was a bad movie with a bad plot. The whole idea of the movie is that if a guy is into a girl, he will make it known. He’ll call you, or find you, and make sure that he meets you again. As a guy, I would say this is a fair assessment of how things work. The problem is with the ending of the movie. This guy spends the entire movie far from being romantically interested in the girl. He does not pursue her. Even after she throws herself at him, he’s still not into her. Then finally after the girl has learned her lesson, He shows up at her door ready to sweep her off her feet. In other words, instead of taking a cue that he is not interested in you, keep pestering him and he will eventually come along. Ridiculous.
Anyways, I hope that you can forgive me for what I have done.
