Romance!
Last night me and Thomas cuddled up on the sofa with a bowl of candy and had a movie night. The theme for the night must surely have been every mans nightmare. Romantic comedies! I am blessed with a husband that can actually enjoy the brainless romantic movies where you know exactly how everything will end. Sometimes those kind of movies are just what you need.
We started the evening off with The Proposal and boy did that remind me why I never been fond of Sandra Bullock. When you see a romantic comedy and go "why on earth with anyone fall in love with her?" they have failed. Why her character would fall in love with Ryan Reynolds character was understandable, but not the other way around. So, we were off to a slow start.
Second movie was The Ugly Truth with Katherine Heigl and Gerard Butler. I have never been into Grey's Anatomy but Heigl I do like in romantic comedies. And Gerard Butler... well, him I just like! This movie was what a romantic comedy should be, predictable, sweet, funny and you did see why the characters would fall in love. Brainless, of course but it left you with a smile on your face.
Third and last movie was My Life in Ruins. This is the "older" kind of romantic comedy. Not as much about sex as many other movies. Once again, sweet and predictable. Quite charming. It also did me want to go to Greece very, very much. This girl likes old ruins and visiting churches and museums.
Romance on movies I do like. But in real life? I have told Thomas that if he ever calls the radio to dedicate a song to me, I will assume he wants a divorce. If he came home with flowers one day for no good reason, well, I would not think he is cheating on me. However, I would think "oh, so it was 50% off on flowers today eh?". Cynical? Me? Never!
Thomas does the cute things of course. "Welcome home sweetie, I bought you some chocolate". Sweet, no? Well, if you translate it to guy language it usually means "Hi, I bought some beer and/or candy for myself so I bought this for you so that you wont be upset". Not as sweet anymore now is it?
Well, my husband can be romantic, of course he can. Not so much the time he gave me a set of salt and pepper grinders for Valentine's Day but he can be. I prefer the "I have made dinner and here is a glass of wine" kind of romance over "I bought you 100 red flowers and lit candles all over the room" kind of romance. And now I feel myself I am just babbling so I will wrap it up for today.
By the way, I do love my husband. Even if he sometimes is as romantic as a rock.
Over and out

Hm, jag kan hålla med om att det kan vara soft att se en dålig romantisk komedi ibland. Men tre på samma gång? Njae... ;)
Kram!
