Chick Flick-aholic Anonymous

I don't believe there should be a limit on how many times you're allowed to watch a cute chick flick. I mean, who gets bored of mushy endings?

But there's uniqueness in the first viewing. You're so into the story and desperately want things to work out, that you are left completely blind to any ridiculousness that festers in the plot. With repeated exposure, however, and the reassuring knowledge that a happy ending lies ahead, you slowly become more aware of what some would call downright corniness:P

This only intensifies, when you've read the story and were watching the movie for the 5th time with your very smart and critical friend. By extension, I become wiser :P

Girl: It's just that.. I mean.. I sometimes feel.. it's like..
Boy (cuts in): I know what you mean.
Girl: You do?
Boy: Sure I do... (and goes on to describe how she feels so eloquently, unveiling as yet hidden aspects of her personality so effortlessly as if her feelings have been his subject of study for the last decade.)

But of course they've only met 5 minutes ago.

Me: FEH. How come we don't run into such "intuitive" people in real life?
She: That's cuz they don't exist hun.
Me: I should stop watching those silly movies, they keep deluding me from the harsh reality of life. They're an insult to my intelligence. I won't watch a flick ever again. Ever.
She: Yes you will.
Me: *sigh* Yes I will.

Well, at least someone's getting a happy ending!
