It's kind of funny because anyone who knows me knows that I'm not a mushy, romantic, ga-ga type of person. But for some strange reason, I loveeee romantic comedies.
Though it's really REALLY rare that you find a good one, when a romantic comedy is done well, I literally just melt into a puddle of sappy goo. After breaking it down, I realized that the part I enjoy most about rom-coms (or actually any form of romance for that matter) is the Chase.
Because honestly, who really wants to see the part after that. If I wanted to see people suck face and grope each other I would look into Senor Cluck and the Robot's bedroom. I mean do you really want to watch people sit around and talk about their lame daily existence? Going to work, picking up the dry cleaning, making dinner... Please, I've got my own lame existence to bore me.
This is why the Chase rules. It's really the fantasy of seeing people do things they would never do, say things they would never say, and be with people they would probably never get. And, at the very core of it all, is the beautifully agonizing yearning process.
Ahhhhh, the straining tension of it all. It really only makes moments like this all the sweeter.
