"You found my weakness! Small knives!"
That trailer had 100% more quippiness than all 3 of the Raimi movies put together.
What, you don't think "You're the one who's out, Gobby! Out of your MIND!" counts?
Zoe: So you two were kissin'? Book: Well. Isn't that... special?

I am the fly who dreams of the spider
I definitely think that fiction has a huge impact on youths and how they percieve reality. I grew up with a poem in my bathroom talking about "growing your own garden, rather than waiting for a man to bring you flowers" so I'm skewed in a different direction. But I am one to protest against fairytale stories where the end goal is for the princess to have the prince rescue her and otherwise be the damsel in distress (which is one of the reasons Bella Swan pisses me off. She's like the anti-Buffy). The fairytales I grew up on were about passive heroines who let others make decisions for them.
So, yeah, I think media influences perceptions of romance and relationships. But I think that once you hit, say, your thirties, you gotta start taking responsibility for your life choices and perceptions and stop blaming the media for your failed relationships. There's a point where you are an adult and have to be culpable for your life views and choices, whether they be influenced by family, friends, media, for good or ill, in the end they are your mature choices. So, unless you were raised in a cult and shown only romcoms as the social norm for normal romantic interactions . . .

Hey. New board.
I am approximately 28 times more excited about the Amazing Spider-Man than I ever was any of the Raimi movies, that's for sure. The backstory sounds cool, I like mechanical web shooters, Emma Stone is more my speed than Kirsten Dunst, and I agree that quippiness rocks. Sign me up.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
This talk about rom-coms is making me wish for a remake of "When Harry Met Sally...." with Jack Black and Kate Winslet. (Yes, I really like The Holiday)

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
I am with le n. I would have liked that movie much better without him.

I Love Jack Black. Granted, I have only seen him in School of Rock, The Holiday, and singing with Will Farrell at the Oscars.

I can only tolerate him when he's voicing an anthropomorphic panda.
I am SO ready for tomorrow night to get here! [link]

I feel that Jack Black is a cuddly Steve Buscemi. Who I also love.

Sophia,
I feel like I don't even KNOW you.
