rom coms. It was mid 50's majority female. 

But none of those other films Poland mentions are playing like rom coms either. Its a weird editorial.

This feels like a huge reach. Pretty much every movie he listed was parthm_ Dec 01, 10:29

' Rom-coms that don’t want to be rom-coms." That's the point. {nm} Antibody Dec 01, 10:34

So Deconstructed Rom-Coms? {nm} Antibody Dec 01, 10:58

this is like me saying i'm going to deconstruct the action movie by writing one with no action. if you put your love interest in a coma for slipping jimmy Dec 01, 11:01

yeah. which again, i was fairly engaged with (I love a good James Brooks as much as anyone). but i was expecting something else {nm} slipping jimmy Dec 01, 11:16

Seriously, this is one of the worst articles ever written. I award David Poland no points and may God have mercy on his soul. JSpicoli13 Dec 02, 01:33

Honestly DMac, linking to this garbage is beneath you. {nm} JSpicoli13 Dec 02, 01:34
