Vain in Vancouver
In the movie "Sleepless in Seattle" Rosie O'Donell says to Meg Ryan
"You don't want to be in love. You want to be in love in a movie"
And you know.... I totally do too becuase no matter what battle or strife the characters face, they always get a happy ending.
This week, I keep getting asked, "What's going on?" "Have you talked" and well, no because I'm not dating someone from the movies... those happy endings just don't happen in real life... It's not like the man is going to show up at your door and exclaim "let's make this work!" or give some sort of explanation to their bizarre behaviour (we also don't order food in a restaurant have the waiter disappear to only reappear with said entrées... and while on that topic... It bothered me that Friends ALWAYS got the couch in Central Perk).
Even Sex in the City has the happy ending... didn't they finish the series off w/ a smile? Carrie ended up with Big, Miranda was married to the bartender (baahr-ten-dah), Charlotte got her asian baby & even Sam found love..... WHAT? As far as I'm concerned, that show is a complete let down... I revelled in the mess to which they called their lives. It just leaves me to ask the question: Where is my perfect bow?
I want to create a movie where nothing gets resolved that he actually is a fruck-wad and you're just left wondering.. HUH? what does all that mean? what is the point? I'm sick of the movies where the emotionally stunted man comes out of his shell because that one special woman manages to challenge him or breaks his heart... This propaganda of hope must stop. It just doesn't happen. In real life, you settle.. you make it work, you put up with or deal... WOW... can anyone smell the bitter train I'm coming in on ???
However, I'm still waiting for that one show where it DOESN'T work out & there IS no explanation... you show me that & I'll show you... um.. well, nothing. I ain't got anything.... sorry.

In "The Breakup", they don't get back together. They make each other miserable, then move on with their lives. Quite the refreshing change actually.
