8: KISSING FROGS ~ FAIRY TALES AS ROM-COMS!
WHO DOESN'T LOVE A MEET CUTE???? ESP WHEN IT INCLUDES A FROG, OR GOAT, OR SOME OTHER ANIMAL THAT WE THINK SHOULD NOT BE KISSING US?
Yes, this week we deal with all sorts of animals and creatures that just don't measure up to our parent's standards (at least when it comes to marriage, because for eating our parents are all too ready to put these animals in the pot, or oven, as it were!) We talk magic, we talk spells, we talk just what kinda ordeals people (or frogs) have to go through to prove their worth! But guess what? In almost every case, these slimy and furry friends transform into kiss-worthy and bed-worthy mates! (I mean, thank god for that!)
We talk Rapunzel, the worst meet-cutes of all time, Amor and Psyche (yeah, I didn't know who these guys were either, thank god for Tantri's massive intellect) and just how hairy (see what I did there) the road to love can become! This is one case where a straight line will NOT get you where you need to go!
Bridget Jones Diary, a classic of the meet-cute, rom-com genre where Hugh Grant is the wolf, and Colin Firth (sigh) is the Woodsman. "What a big axe you have!"
My fave rom-com: Practical Magic, which I love, but some people say suck, but I say to those people "suck on this, bitches!" AND GUESS WHAT? They're coming out with another movie with the delicious LEE PACE, and what more evidence do we need that this Universe has our backs?
Check out this movie with Tom Hanks and Darryl Hannah, SPLASH, which will delight your frigid hearts, and remind you that the last century had way better movies, in every single way. This is "The Little Mermaid" as seen through the eyes of the crazy and wild '80's, which I hope are someday going to come back, fashion wise.
And finally, this article from "The Live Wire" and written by Madelyn Johnson, about fairy tales as rom-coms and the negative aspects when these two join...read that here!
AGAIN, IF YOU RATE AND REVIEW US, WE WILL KISS YOUR GOAT. (and that is not a euphemism, if you own a goat we will find it and kiss it!)
PSA: the squirrel has escaped containment, and has been heard in the ducts of your building. A team is on it's way!
