Okay, so here's the thing. There are all these movies wherein there's some geeky guy and he lusts after a hot woman. And he never has the courage to talk to her or something. And then at the end of the story, he gets the hot woman, who turns out to be really nice.
Is this not inherent sexism? The really nerdy guys should get the really hot women, and the really hot women should have to look beyond physical appearance? What the fuck? He always has some geeky friend he's not interested in, too. And yet somehow this has become an accepted formula for date movies. What bullshit.
Anyway, happy Thanksgiving.

I think The Baxter played pretty well with romance-movie conventions of another sort- wondering what happens to all those guys who are stood up at the end of romantic movies for the heroes of same movies. I believe it made about $13 at the box office, not counting my ticket, of course.
