No more LIES...

Why does Hollywood insist on feeding us lies? That's my question...it seems like every movie that comes out is about soul mates or destiny or true love but why I ask you why do "they" do this to us? I grew up on movies like this...I learned what french kissing was when I was six and I was watching Jack and Jennifer on "Days of Our Lives". I grew up believing that true love existed, that there was one perfect man out there for his one perfect women and guess what They lived happily ever after immediately. But you see this is not the case, this is not reality, there is no truth to what the movies beat into us all of our lives. We are not in a movie, this is not "One fine Day" you can't just walk out your front door and fall in love with your child's friends divorced dad....no that's not how it happens. Why do they insist on doing this to us? Do they know that we are desperate and pathetic and will watch their cheesy, unrealistic movie because deep down we want to believe in it, we want to believe that one day some amazing man will write a mission statement and completely change from being the jerk that he was before he met us and we will "complete him". Deep down we ache to be loved like that and during that 2 hour movie we actually feel, for a moment that we will be adored and cherished and it's not impossible but that it's just under our fingertips. But then the movie ends and we have to face reality and reality is that I've just eaten 2 bowls of popcorn while watching "The Notebook" and I'm approximately 2 pounds heavier and about 2 times more depressed about myself then I was before. What is the point it only brings hard ache and emptiness. Honestly I think I'm going to stick to hardcore action flicks or "The story of Us" now that's real life!
