(Just ONCE I would like to see a movie where the Amy Adams type is the pothead with no job and her gothy sister is the mature responsible one. Just once.)
I didn't know this was a trope! How many instances?
Wow, you've really mastered the power of positive giving-up.

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.

I feel like "pretty blonds are more responsible and deserving of happiness than their weird friends with all the piercings" is a pretty established trope in movies which contain both types.
I can't think of a case where I've seen that reversed, and I would like to.

Oh you're just saying that because you've got blue hair and clearly don't deserve happiness.

But I know you miss it. Can one have both blue hair and happiness?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
And do they correspond to the colors of one's parachute?
