Do you like to watch romantic comedies?

    In general, no. But I'm open to watching them. Some I've liked.

    I played one of the characters in a theatrical production of Bernard Slade's comedy play "Romantic Comedy." And I got rave reviews from the theatrical critic who wrote the review of the production, ha! :)

      In general, no. However, one of my top favorite movies of all time is 1938’s “Bringing Up Baby”. The writing, the dialogue, the wit, the ridiculously funny plot twists, the humor, the acting performances of practically every actress and actor in that movie all combine to make it hard for me to remember or even realize that it’s a romantic comedy. The way that the two leads step out of type to undertake these roles is a testament to good acting, pure and simple. 


    (Wait, I’m beginning to sound like a film critic!”)

    Sometimes. The good ones that are more dramady than romcom.

      Imagine if you and I had starting starring roles portraying ourselves in such a movie! 

      *Quiet on the set! Massage oil scene, take one! Lights, camera, action!

    Oh, so many reasons!

      1.  You know you want me.
      2.  It’s a legitimate way to get yourself some 1-on-1 Randy Time without all the messy adultery business.
      3. It would look less obvious than throwing yourself at me.
     4. See Reason #1.
     5. Endorsement deals.
     6. International fame and acclaim.
     7. Membership in that exclusive club of those who have experienced Randy D.
     8. Reason #1 crops up again.
     9. The kissing alone would put you over the top, the sex scenes would be the pinnacle.
     10. All of the above.

  • Not really.  They're usually pretty corny and far fetched.

    One exception would be Bridesmaids!  That movie was hilarious ...  This post was edited by Benedict Arnold at August 8, 2021 7:57 AM MDT
