If it wasn't for your reviews, I'd actually get work done. Also it has led me to actually have something to write about on the Internets.
And it's not just women who get stuck with the true love myth. I just read Nick Hornby's High Fidelity, which Jon Cusack turned into one of my favorite movies (I want to say I still like the movie better, but I think it fits up there with Thank You for Smoking as stories that coexist in different mediums and both do with what they have equally well.) My point here is that guys are given certain impressions on what love and women are like and it isn't that way either. It's kind of a grown up antilove story.
That said, I'm still a sucker for Wesley and Buttercup: the power of love getting Wesley to his feet to intimidate Humperdink. I'm a sap and I know it.
