5. You Puke Your Guts Up At The Mere Mention Of A Rom Com
Romantic comedies do not sit well with hardcore sick film fans. They are the antithesis of everything we stand for. I could not watch ten minutes of a Romantic Comedy - I would go catatonic due to the lack of brain stimulation. I can't even name you some Romantic Comedies because I have such a strong reaction against them, I have to avoid them at all costs but generally stuff like Notting Hill, Bridget Jones's Diary and Sleepless in Seattle act as an extreme irritant to the hardcore sick movie fan - an irritant that brings us close to anaphylactic shock should we accidentally run into them. Of course, this puts us in the extreme minority seeing as rom coms do big Hollywood business and 95% of the film watching public seem to love them. I would rather watch the worst sick films in the world - Men Behind the Sun, Ebola Syndrome and Ilsa: She Wolf of the SS than be subjected to a rom com. I think I would rather sit down and watch Faces of Death volumes 1-5 consecutively than watch Bridget sodding Jones with her boring life and stupid problems. When you get to that state, sick movies have a really tight grasp on you, and thank heavens for that!
