romance vs. fantasy
Julie: clearly, someone was misinformed when Romance movies were for some reason removed from the Fantasy genre, and given a genre of their own. if you ask me, most chick flicks are "fiction characterized by highly fanciful or supernatural elements." the supernatural elements of course, being that romantic men do indeed exist.
Christi: i think they have their own genre because: unlike MOST fantasy films, it's easier to fool yourself that romantic men exist. so romantic movies are more like, "fantasy movies that are more easy to trick yourself into."
like, duh, no one can see a unicorn.
or mermaids.
or spaceships (okay most people can't).
but you can see a guy and lie to yourself when he brings you flowers. "ohhh isn't he ROMANTIC?"
no. he just wants to penetrate your vag.
Julie: we're doomed.
