This anomaly occurred when an attempt to get rid of your friend for two hours by suggesting a romantic comedy backfired€”your friend almost jumped out of his Apocalypse Now tennis shoes at the chance to shoot a monolith like Pretty Woman down. €œOF COURSE they€™re going to get together at the end,€ your friend facepalmed while looking at the DVD cover. €œIt€™s so obvious! All of these movies are the same! I€™m so sick of seeing My Fair Lady over and over again,€ as he writhed at every reference to fairy tales between constant reminders that the movie (like My Fair Lady) was based off of The Pygmalion. €œYou can go,€ you replied. But instead of answering, your friend shouted desperate, undoubtedly attention-seeking exclamations at the TV each time a new character was introduced€”the buddy friend, the proper yet cool butler, the insensitive lawyer€”while following each introduction with some variation of, €œWhy didn€™t they go with the original dark tone of this movie€™s script? Argh! This is so Hollywood!€ €œIt€™s also kind of demeaning to women,€ you said, trying to avoid another explanation. €œYeah, that too, I suppose,€ your friend sighed bitterly. €œI should write about this stuff in an essay. Someone needs to.€
