My loathing of "Pretty Woman" knows no bounds.
java says it best. Actually, that's how I feel about any movie with Julia Roberts in it. Also, any movie with Meg Ryan except Code of Honor? and Restoration.
This is my boat. They're part of my crew. No one's getting left. Best you get used to that.

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.

Oooh, I just thought of an entire series that I hate from a filmmaker I love:
all of the "Ocean's 11" remakes.

Because books.
I've never even seen the original Ocean's Eleven. And the remake is one of my favorite movies ever.

The original is probably the most misogynistic film I've ever seen, although the final scene is way better than the remake.

I thought the first remake was boring, and every time Julia Roberts came onscreen and was supposed to be the object of Clooney's soul mate affection, I rolled my eyes.

I never saw any of the originals. I am not generally a fan of the Rat Pack.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
My three favorite romcoms are: Notting Hill, Love, Actually, and The American President.
I am nothing if not completely predictable.

Aw, I love Love, Actually. I don't generally think of it as a rom-com, but whatever it is, I love it.

I *love* the remake, but not its sequels. Feh.
