personal definition of a "chick flick" -->when a movie initiates feelings
that are too sensitive for male standards thereby injecting estrogen to his
psychie and attempting to make him display un-"guy" like qualities such as
cuddling, crying, or sympathy. Yesterday, my cousins and I watched "Love
Actually" which I've seen before. One of my friends hasn't seen it before
and my chick cousin was sayin "You should watch it cause it's totally not
like a chick flick at all. My boyfriend and his brother liked it and bla
bla bla story story." Now, I didn't think about this till later at night,
but what the hell IS a chick flick? SO...i decided to share my personal
definition of what it is. If my assumption rings somewhat true, then Love
Actually IS a chick flick. Then i thought, why would my cousin say such an
outlandish thing as to NOT call it one? then i thought - to compensate for
the gayness of her boyfriend. no offense to him - i love the guy...he's
practically my cousin-in-law as i'm concerned...but COME ON! just because
some dude is into cars, poker, and
manly-cigar-jack-daniels-cowboy-sh*t-kickin-marines brew ha ha.....you're
tellin me, he CAN'T POSSIBLY like a "chick flick?!" WRONG! there are a
crapload of guys who are are very, very guilty of loving the mighty of all
chick flicks - the master of relationship anthropology - rob reiner's
classic - When Harry met Sally. SO - Love Actually IS totally a chick
flick and even though there may be some movies that have a fine line
between a dramatic turn of events classic or a chick flick all the way,
just don't say anything at all if you're not sure.
YES - i'm very guilty of being this movie elitist snob, but i don't care.
if i hold back on the one thing that i truly do enjoy, then i'm just
depriving people of knowledge that they might be more intrigued to follow
up on. something that i do alot of when people talk about movies is
'director name drop.' if i know who directed it and know other movies that
he directed, so that there can be a comparison, then i'll do it. HOWEVER,
please don't forget that directing and writing are 2 different credentials
and even though (per se) Ang Lee directed the Incredible (flop) Hulk and
the recently highly acclaimed Brokeback Mountain, doesn't give
justification that whatever he directs next will be either a flop or
completely slow paced (and about homosexual cowboys)...NO, watch for his
use of sceneric cinematography and wide shots of land for bigger impacts
relating to the plot. AND that my friend was jiggy movie knowledged
dropped on your well-deserved booty. you're welcome.
