What's your story fetish?

As in, a friend and I got into a discussion about movies the other night. And she was a film major and loves pretty hundreds of thousands of movies, though she is a snob as well. but she will buy and watch and love anything that involves some sort of treasure hunt. ??? Yeah, think like "Goonies" and "the Ninth Gate", 'Indiana Jones" follow the clues etc... any great quest. Which I think is a story fetish she got from watching "Goonies" at an early age. (btw, this fetish carries over into her weird love of gold coins and the History Channel)

Which then made me realize, that I have film fetish as well. I will watch, and usually love, anything in which someone 'bad' (however you define it) gets redeemed or faces their past or whatever. I eat that shit up. Weird. Of course, I have always loved the Disney villains, but where this comes from I don't know. But "B. Monkey", "Magnolia"...love 'em all.

Hmmm... Fairy tales? Maybe that's where it came from. Interesting. I did love "Fairie Tale Theater". Oooh and Pooky and I did have this huge crush on Hades from the Persephone myth when we were in elementary school.

haha.

Also, I missed it, and I suck, but...HAPPY BIRTHDAY, PIR8FANCIER!

Thanks, luv. It was good. I got some cool prezzies and not any MORE gray hair that what I'm already sprouting. A good day.

My film fetish? Which is horribly pathetic, and clearly in response to being a smart women and always feelings like I was penalized for it because smart women are more work, I love scrappy romances with really smart women that have a happy ending. Like The Thin Man (which really doesn't count but who COULDN'T adore Nora Charles), like When Harry Met Sally, like Moonstruck, You've Got Mail, The Awful Truth (with Cary Grant and Irene Dunne), and My Favorite Wife (with Cary Grant and Irene Dunne AGAIN).

Smart broads and the men who love them. Romance.

Which is why your teasing about Rene getting killed just makes me weep, because these boys have to have a happy ending or I will haunt you. Because Rene deserves it in spades. Because everybody needs love, even control freak corsairs who are really kind of smoopy inside but had most of the smoop beaten out of them and had sort of forgotten they even HAD smoop until a certain slutbunny of an Englishman came into view. And what a view it was.

Irene Dunne is awesome. Though Barbara Stanwyck is my hero.

Mad Miss Manton, Lady Eve, Breakfast for Two

BALL OF FIRE! Gary Cooper at his best. If ever there was a closet slutbunney...Barbara just too snazzy with all those professors. GAH!
