<div class="IPBDescription">Us Guys Keeping up with Movie Hunks</div> I just got in from a date with my girlfriend (haha, yea, I have a life...surprisingly). We came back from watching the worlds greatest chic flick so far...Wedding Day.
Heres the plot line, for those of you lucky guys who haven't seen it.
Main character's half-sister is getting married. The fiancee's best man is the main character's ex-boyfriend of 7 years. In order to make her ex jealous, she hires an escort (found through her friend, who wrote an article on the guy in a magazine). The goto the London (where the wedding is to be), and twists and turns happen, just like any chic flick. Cheesy lines from hot stud here and there, conflict, reunion, wedding, the end.
Now, I do not like how Hollywood these days creates "Super-Studs" in these chic flicks. All they do is put us regular joe shmoes in the doghouse. We can't compete with them! Here is this super hot stud on the big screen, saying the cheesiest lines ("I would rather argue with you then make love to every other woman." No joke, that was an actual line), and have an entire audience of females awing at the screen. If I was to say that to my girl, I would get either a close look at her palm, or her telling me that I was her "number one fan" (slapped or flicked off).
Shoot, the best cheesy line I have ever used was one exploiting my name (I'm Simon, if you have never picked that up from my website, simon.evilsquid.net). I told her tonite "Simon Says give me some sugar, baby." She looked at me and cracked up laughing. Had it had been Super-Stud giggalo that said that on the big screen, the audience would have been awing at that.
So, what should us guys do, then? Storm Hollywood? Grr...chic flicks have to be some governmental form of population/birth control.

Daze off whilst watching the chick flick. You can't despise what you don't see! <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->
Well, at least you have testament, Simon.
On a more serious note, this is the same thing that has been happening to women since the advent of theatre, as Mantrid noted. So I guess universally it is fair. Though it does disturb me somewhat.
i find alot of lines cheesy and dumb.. but theyre good for when you wana joke about with friends or with yer bf/gf..other then that.. theyre just pointless <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo--> expect to get laughed at..
(If hollywood and SCO can live in a fantasy world, why not me too eh?)

I'm with you man.
Me and Scatman John both.
he said scat!
I don't see any big cause for worry. Those that require me to measure up to the artificial standards set by Bloom, Pitt, Depp & Co. are not the ones I would want a relationship with anyway.
Mmmm, Illuminati.

You know you love the Scatman, don't deny!

And we get indignant, because most of us are smarter than that. Let's put the same trust in our peers that we expect from them, and ASSUME that they can tell the difference between the artificial reality of a hollywood flick and real life.

Wait so Manhunt isn't teaching me how to creep around in dark alleys and put plastic bags over peoples heads? It was really just a form of entertainment to be taken lightly and considered strictly as a videogame?
DEAR GOD THIS IS MIND BLOWING STUFF! <!--emo&:0--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wow.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wow.gif' /><!--endemo-->
I was gona say...
that line will probably never get you smacked for the simple reason that any one you say it to will be laughing to hard <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->
(it is a great line though! Quotes from AoD ftw!)

Counter-Strike once told me to kill all my teachers, family, and friends. I told it that it can go screw itself, I don't listen to aimbotting AWP ****.
She wasn't none to pleased <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->
Do you believe in the hereafter?
Yes.
Then you must know what I'm here after.
Anyone notice how the average guys always star as the people who get picked on? Yeah, thought so =\
