I'm safe because my misses hates any type of ROM com or chick flick and said I've to slap her and give her head a shake if she ever went down that route.

I'm surprised you can find anything you want to watch with all your film hang-ups gag.

Personally i'll give most films a shot if i'm bored and there's something that turns up on T.V, true i won't purposely go out to buy something i think looks shit.

The amount of bad films i've ended up watching on the horror channel.

Doesn't mean i'll stick the entire film out though if it's a pile of shite.

I watched part of 50 shades when it turned up on T.V and yes it was shit and i didn't stick it out.
But when films are slated i have a perverse desire to give them a chance, there are a lot of films i enjoy that critics really trash, stuff such as Bloodsucking freaks that someone reviewed earlier on here.

You never know till you give it a go.

As to rom coms and chick flicks i'm not a major fan either, but occasionally i'll flick on to one on T.V and get drawn in, sat and watched a Cameron Diaz thing the other night called 'The Other Woman' because it came on and drew me in.
The other week i ended up watching 'Wanderlust' with Jennifer Aniston (who i really dislike normally), both weren't great but had moments i found amusing.


Likewise i always avoided Disney stuff (apart from Jungle Book) till i had a kid, then through her i grew to appreciate a lot of them much more.

Things like 50 shades have a vague connection to films like 'The Story of O' and sleazy cult stuff like 'Venus in furs' and 'The Frightened woman' or Jess Franco stuff in it's use of sadomasochism, so it could have been interesting but has none of the style/sleaze or artistry to 'elevate' it.(ahem)



I'm not trying to have a go gag, just think that your closing your mind off to possibilities.

For instance here are a few films that could be considered Rom-coms but i really enjoyed.

Roxanne
When harry met Sally
The Apartment
It happened one night
Gregory’s girl
Eternal sunshine of the spotless mind
Princess Bride
Wedding singer
Annie hall
There’s something about Mary
Harold and Maude

Go on gag, give Bridget Jones a go, you know you want to.

I don’t mind Rom Coms tbh, in fact years ago my ex wife came home from work to find me watching Bridget Jones’s Diary and couldn’t wait to tell all my mates in the pub later that night, I’d have been less embarrassed had she walked in on me watching Babestation

Nobody 'watches' Babestation.

Babestation causes weight loss. It always makes your pants drop round your ankles

Just thought i'd say Friedkin's "Sorcerer" is on Film Four tonight at 11.20 if anyone's interested.
