So I'm bored on a Friday night, watching "Princess Diaries" on the Disney Channel (how lame, I know...don't flame me for that) and the main character has a good guy friend who likes her, but she ends up going for the "good looking" guy...in the end, of course she'll get with her friend... So the point of this thread is...I HATE THESE FAIRY TALE STORIES! How come stuff like that doesn't happen to me? Fairy tales put those expectations in little girls' minds...and then we are disappointed when it doesn't happen... I wish someone was secretly in love with me...*blah* I hate sitting home alone on Friday nights!
no one should flame you for watching that ...its a hell-a-sweet movie and if someone is secretly in love with you then you prob wouldn't know it
I SO agree with you! You watch movies like that and then spend all night wondering why this never happens to you... It sucks..
Ain't that the truth...although I could have done something tonight, I would have had to go alone...and sit alone...so I figured, why spend the money when I can just sit home alone for free??? *laughs*
If you think about it, those Disney movies with the prince in shining armor really disillusion lots of people. Honestly, up until I was about 10 or 11 I really expected to marry a prince, or at least a duke or baron or something, and live a fairy tale life in a Spanish villa. No joke. Now, I have to face how ugly life really is and it's quite sad. I guess knights in shining armor come in all different packages though. Mine happens to be a poor redhead Nebraskan who wants to make a mark on the world by being a psychologist, and I'm ok with that. I just have to become independantly wealthy and buy my own damn villa.
I guess it's not so much that I want to marry a prince or a duke or anything...and I know that's not what you're incinuating. I guess it's more like...nothing that happens in the movies EVER happens to me...LOL I"m certainly not looking for a pity party here...but...I swear if I didn't have a bad luck, I'd have no luck. Especially when it comes to relationships...
Whenever movie situations happen to me, it always sucks. Like whenever the girl in the movie has two guys after her, she's always happy and tra-la-la. For me, the few times that's happened I felt like SHIT and I never end up with either of them. And they're never two interesting, funny, or even remotely attractive guys either. Goddamnit. Maybe you should start watching horror movies. Then you'll be glad it never happens to you.
Movies and TV brainwash men and women about relationships in many ways,and all the wrong ways. ~peace
The problem is that when a girl actually has a guy secretly in love with her, she'd usually consider it to be creepy stalking.
ok, so I'm going to start by saying that I'm a girl with heaps of curly hair and I also wear glasses (though i do also have contacts). obviously I just adore movies like the Princess Diaries where the main character is a social retard and ugly loser because of her curly hair and glasses....it just does wonders for my self esteem in all seriousness though, it does kind of suck to see movies where you just wish for it to happen to you. I was watching Garden State last night with the guy that I really like (but i can't tell him that). awwwww, it was so bittersweet.
And somehow these movies are ALWAYS on friday nights just to gently remind you WHY you're home on a friday night, alone. Fuckin' Walt, what have you done?
I not only hate fairy tales, but all love stories. It just reminds me of how lonely I am. Disney movies are very misleading. The poor become rich, the ugly become beautiful, and everyone lives happily ever after. It does give kids false hope in life. The only love story I like at all is Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind because it shows that love doesn't always work out, and even if it doesn't it's worth going through. I like real life messages.
yeah eternal sunshine is beautiful. Even though it is so unreal it is such a real romance, if that makes any sense. Well it's a lot more realsitic than all those generic meg ryan and token handsome man battle of the sexes turns to love type movies. gag.
