There is the occasional use of iambic pentameter to great effect though. I don't know if it is intentional or not. For example, Jack Nicholson's speech to Helen Hunt's character in As Good As It Gets, the one that ends with "You make me want to be a better man" which scans as perfect iambic pentameter.
I don't fancy spending the next month trying to get librarian out of the carpet.

There will be G. But my commentary will basically be: "This is G. He's pretty. Hi, G. Hi! You're so pretty. How do you get your makeup to do that?"

I love you. And somewhere, Pete is rolling his eyes bemusedly without knowing why.

The wind in Los Angeles is INSANE today. I'm seriously worried about windows blowing out, or the whole building being blown off the hilltop.
