I rarely watch TV; in fact I almost never watch TV nowadays but for some reason today after dinner, I was bored and decided to watch the idiot box instead of clearing out my backlog on the computer. It so happened that I managed to catch the beginning of American Sweethearts. I watched it before but couldn't remember what it was about so I watched it again. It was so funny, and quite heart-tugging at the same time. Catherine Zeta-Jones played the annoying character so well, and I really felt so sorry for John Cusack's and Julia Roberts' characters. It was quite a lovely movie, although it was very corny at the end. I'm not that fond of romantic movies (I call them soppy) and neither do I like reading romance novels. Corny bits agitate my cynical view of reality.
But when John's character was doing things for Julia's character by buttering her toast and helping her pack her bags (so to speak), it was something I could really empathise with. Well, I can't say I empathise with the character completely - I don't spend my life cleaning up and pandering after an annoying sister whose world revolves only around her. But it's nice to have a man who loves you and takes care of you and does things for you. Of course, there are plenty of men out there like that but their partners don't appreciate them. It just makes me go... sigh... (dreamily).
By the way, I think John Cusack is really cute. I think Edward Norton is cute, too. And I think they're both terrific actors. So is Johnny Depp - love him in Pirates of the Carribean .
Oh, and I'm still not looking for a relationship. I'm very happily single. :)
