Disney is working on a Gargoyles movie, except that it's NOT based on the Disney cartoon Gargoyles.
To commemorate a past event, you kill and eat an animal. It's a ritual sacrifice, with pie.

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.

Favorite rom-com is Moonstruck. I like Nicolas Cage, and there's opera.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
I liked Sandra in the Lake House with Keeanu.
I find this one melancholic and lovely. It's a remake of a Korean flick, actually -- the original is also quite watchable.
Addicted to Love.
HA! I agree. 'Cause Meg Ryan's character is a complete psycho and Matt Broderick is a creepy stalker, and the film acutally acknowledges that. The happy ending is kind of hard to buy because of that. My guess is that they'd do each other in within a month.
Sliding Doors -- yeap, I think it'd qualify.

Because books.
Oh, I loved Sliding Doors. I forgot about that movie. I also have a weird love for The Mexican, which is only sort of a romantic comedy, but it really worked for me.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
Groundhog Day is about romance and Phil's journey, but mostly about Phil's journey. Do most rom-com's deal with only one person's growth? I thought both usually grow.
"10 Things I Hate About You" is a rom com that stays in my heart.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Oh, I loved Sliding Doors. I forgot about that movie.
I think of it as: the movie where Gwyneth gets an excellent haircut.

Heart and Souls is all about RDJ's character growth.

Our wings are not tired.
Amy, I liked "The Mexican" because of James Gandolfini. He is awesome and watchable in everything.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
"10 Things I Hate About You" is a rom com that stays in my heart.
There's a popular movie I hate. I find it hard to appreciate Julia Stiles. Despite my love for Heath and JGL.
I think When Harry Met Sally might be my favourite rom com. I've just seen it so many times, it's branded in my brain. We had it on loop in my apartment for what felt like weeks.
But my weakness for Grosse Pointe Blank is legendary. Martin Blank is my Lloyd Dobler.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Oh, I loved Sliding Doors.
Yeah, I really loved the premise, and it was a fun movie.
also have a weird love for The Mexican, which is only sort of a romantic comedy, but it really worked for me.
Yeah, I remember liking it quite a bit too. It's more of a drama than a comedy, despite the marketing, but once you adjust your expectations to what movie it actually is, it's good.
