chick flick, it's mythic.

confession : i CAN'T STAND chick flick.

okay that's not entirely true.
still a long way before i give 'em up.

what i can't stand about chick flick is, no matter how bad the girl screws up, she'll ALWAYS get her happy ending.(read : get the hot guy)

want some example? ooh i have plenty.

1- Mean Girls.
this is THE chick flick. the good old times when Lindsay Lohan is still sober and , normal. so anyway her character screws up, she turned into one of those Plastics, and whadya know? she still gets THE guy in the end.

2- Angus, Thongs and Perfect Snogging
average girl, has huge crush on this hot guy whose girlfriend is a major biatch. anddd in the end, the guy realize she's the real deal and dumped his slutty girlfriend. BLERGGHH.

3- Wild Child
i love Emma Roberts. somehow i love this movie. but still, a spoilt brat, finally comes to her senses, and the guy finally realizes its not her fault the school almost burnt to the ground. yeah. in movies, that's all forgiven.


4- Lovewrecked
Amanda Bynes is hella funeehh. hrm, this is quite the other way around from #2. she has a huge crush on this major superstar, and by some miracle they got stuck in this deserted island. her best friend, a guy, a cute guy, who OBVIOUS-LEHHH likes her, but she doesnt know. and in the end, she chose the best friend over a superstar. the 'in-the-end-i-realize-my-secret-admirer-is-the-one-for-me'. YAWN.

5- She's The Man
again, Amanda Bynes. i LOVE this movie. VERY FUNNY. but its still categorized under chick flick, and thus, comes the cliche of average girl gets the hot guy in the end. -..-


6- Cinderella Story
Chad Michael Murray and Hilary Duff! ♥ but honestly, Chad's character, DOES NOT EXIST in real life. a good-looking guy, a jock, but all poetic inside. HURMMHPH ? (er, if i'm not mistaken. i kinda forget. AHAHA)



don't get me wrong, i LOVE the above movies. i'd watch it again for sure. in fact, the above movies, i've watched more than once. x)

and OH, notice any other similarities? all the above movies have the bitchy, bad, antagonist character. -_-"

why can't chick flick ends in tragedy? the guy broke up with her. he chose other girl. or the girl died. or their house burnt down. the guy hits his head hard and suffers memory loss and never recover.

i'm not anti-happy ending, but it'd be cool if chick flick can end that way. OH YEA, The Notebook did end that way. Allie did end up marrying Noah, but she has Alzheimer later when she's old. A Walk To Remember also. Jamie has leukemia and died. Nicholas Sparks' novels are awesome. i've read a few. it's not typical chick flick.

there's nothing wrong in loving chick flick. it's just, watching one is like watching a sci-fi movie. fun to watch, love all the actions, love all the dramas, but its all not entirely true. and c'mon girls, poor guys. they have to live up to girls' high expectation of guys like in the movies.

BUT THEN AGAIN, why guys are so blind ah? they see girls in the movies LOVEE when guys give them flowers, open the door for them, being all romantic and cheesy and corny but why can't they do that to a girl ?! ;p


*cough*life's full of questions without answers.


i'm not saying those type of guys in the movies doesn't exist, but its ,one in a million ? they're like fireflies. hard to find. in fact, most fireflies almost extinct nowadays dontcha think?

Characters I think are just IMPOSSIBLE to exist ;

1- Edward Cullen (Twilight Saga) [DUHHHHHHHH.]
2- Noah Calhoun (TheNotebook)
3- Austin Ames (ACinderellaStory)


boys ; we dont expect you to go watch all chick flick ever made and be THE perfect guy. but it doesnt hurt to do so. AHAHAHAHAHA jk. and girls don't wanna hear those expired, perfectly-chiseled sweet words. (well some might still be interested but not me ;p). we don't need 'sweetness' as much as we need honesty.


girls ; STOP DREAMING. EDWARD CULLEN DOESN'T EXIST. that's all.


so that's me, being all Love Guru again. a terrible one too.
with that, i shall go watch chick flick now. Adios.




If I'm not back in five minutes... just wait longer.
