why do Hollywood writers create chicks flicks?
according to Wikipedia (in particular situations, it’s even permitted for an academic educated girl to consult Wikipedia… quite logically I guess, given the barely scientifical subject ;)) a chick flick is “a slang term for a film mainly dealing with love and romance designed to appeal to a female target audience”
let’s analyze the definition:
“film mainly dealing with love and romance”
read: gorgeous woman and man meet each other, get together (of course both are, without any reason, incredibly shy), break up because of “insurmountable” difficulties, and get back together after the most difficult period of separation of their lives because the insurmountable difficulties weren’t as insurmountable as they thought (duuuuuh!!!)
“designed”
AH! there are people I can blame for it... good to know :D
“to appeal to a female target audience”
guess I don’t belong to the female target audience
don’t get me wrong: I’m not a bitter ugly unpopular girl (at least not according to popular opinion (joking ;)), I just don’t like this sticky (loosely translated from the Flemish word klef) kind of movies
why not?
first of all, a popular date of release of chick flicks: Valentine… a circus I despise (common! klef!!!)
secondly, a popular moment for broadcasting: each and every time of year you feel bad (aka Murphy)
thirdly, popular cast: the most gorgeous examples of god’s creation, only useful for daydreaming (nice daydreaming though, gotta admit)
fourthly, good humour: the lack of it anyway
think I prefer a good series: physicists humour (Big Bang Theory), sympathy for the devil (Dexter) or heroes (Heroes)
what about you?
