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.
Kaylee: So how many fell madly in love with you and wanted to take you away from all this? Inara: Just the one. I think I'm slipping.

Buffista Movies 7: Brides for 7 Samurai
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
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).

I should be able to burst into song, and all my co-workers would immediately begin a perfectly choreographed backup dance, at the end of which we would all sit back down and pick up our phone calls without missing a beat.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Why doesn't this happen more?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Yeah, I'm all over breaking into song -- it's the backup singers and dancers who fall down on the job!

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
To this day, I can't pick up a jar of mustard without bursting into "THEY GOT! THE MUSTARD! OUT!"

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
though of course everything was over-dramatized and Zooey Deschanel was held up as some sort of hipster Aphrodite ideal.
I think she was supposed to be kind of an asshole. That's one reason I think the movie is not very satisfying.
And exactly, Maysa! Genres are unrealistic, and there's no connection between a genre you like and your real-life decisions. Which is why when I read Hec to say
I think American cultural myths/stories about romantic love and relationships are toxic and damaging. Filled with weird and stupid assumptions.
I wanted to leap through the screen; Hec, you had just been rhapsodizing about 70s exploitation films! Do you kill Italian schoolgirls?!
