Tripping

Jul 14, 2004 14:20

Why does every lighthearted romance movie trailer from the past couple of years feature a girl tripping over her feet and falling out of the frame? Julia Roberts, Cameron Diaz, Drew Barrymore, Lindsey Lohan, the Olson Twins, Hillary Duff... the list goes on and on. It's irritating.

That is hilarious.

I also remember Drew Barrymore tripping in "Never Been Kissed."

I guess it's supposed to increase the desirability of the girl somehow- She falls, therefore she is not perfect and therefore has that oh-so-irresistable "girl-next-door" appeal. It means she is attainable!

Man, is that ever lame.

UNACCEPTABLE!!

The first time was cute, MAYBE. Now into the several dozenth time, it's INFURIATING. The giant Hollywood Xerox machine churns on...

I also hate commercials where two or three different people finish a sentence:

"I want a headache medicine that works fast." "Fast." "Fast."

GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!! $@#*^$##!*&&!!!!!!

Their down-to-Earth gawkiness shows through, despite their OTHERWORLDY BEAUTY! That Julia Roberts may be a smoldering beauty, but it's her nerdiness that wins over men.

I sure can't stand Julia Roberts.

I cannot stand her or her irritating face.

Because, in case we weren't already aware, that is the comedic part in the romantic comedy.

Notice how you don't often see what these ladies, oh my watch out, are triping over. If they were to show that you'd see bodies of the victims of the criminal mastermind I have called "Judy Dench".

Oh, and Sandra Bullock trips a lot too. I think I'll take up tripping over stuff and see if that gets me the chicks. Oh yeah. The Chicks.

LOL. I love that.

I suggest some sort of anonymous letter:

To: Hillary Duff
From: Your friends at livejournal

Hillary.

We are concerned with all the tripping you have been doing lately. Might we suggest a much safer alternative - shooting fireballs out of your hands. This would result in far more laughs and when used right, would help save the world from various mean people and alien invaders...like ET, and those bugs from Starship Troopers.

Sincerely, not stalkers,

The Pleb of Livejournal.
