I'm sorry, but romcoms are so ridiculously outlandish and fairytale-ish and fantastical that I can't begin to believe that anyone with a full crayon box would think that that's how falling in love should go.
I actually find that article slightly offensive. Most movie genres are in no way realistic--I mean Westerns? Or spy thrillers? Or pretty much ANY escapist film genre? But it's usually only taken for granted that romantic comedies (a primarily women's genre) apparently confuses its viewers' poor addled brains because women believe everything they see.
The same crap argument gets trotted out about romance novels--or even just plain novels--or basically anything that women like to escape into for a few hours.
that's true. You never see an article "Die Hard" weakens men's response to crisis."
YES. "Men think they can get shot over and over and still keep fighting, thanks to
Hollywood."
Yeah. Or an article "Musicals give people the idea they should burst into song periodically."
Or "Cartoons make kids think a coyote can fall off a cliff and survive, albiet as an accordion."
Actually, I have seen ones about kids...mostly about desensitization. Or tripping when movies like "Thirteen" come out.
I...do think I should burst into song periodically. And I watch a lot of musicals. OMG Hollywood has ruined me! No, wait, that was always true.

I'll be the one singing about my parking tickets ...
I know I burst out in song periodically. Frankly, I think more people should try it. And glitter, people should wear more glitter (although to be honest, I usually just keep the glitter to my nails).
