Yes, who needs second rate misogyny?

Once upon a time romantic comedies had men like Cary Grant and Jimmy Stewart. Now we have Seth Rogen and Jason Segel. They once had women like the Hepburns, Katharine and Audrey. Now we have Amy Schumer. It isn’t hard to see where things went wrong for the romcom.

Are you sure you really want to create a brown skin hierarchy of oppression? Do you think that will actually makes things better or just create more division? 

She might be calling you an idiot for a different reason. 

It’s not a romcom. No happy ending means it’s not a comedy in the true sense, just a funny film above a relationship which didn’t work out. 

What’s Up Doc? is a high bench mark but I’d say Groundhog Day is definitely at that level. 

I detest that film. 

I liked Think Like A Man and I loathed Trainwreck. 

The fact that he was the manager might have been the reason. She may have had a thing for older guys. Ultimately, it doesn’t matter because the focus of the story was his betrayal of his wife not her motivation to pursue him. If the film was entirely about that affair then looking into her motivations would have been

Should we ignore the assault allegation then? Does it matter less when the person accused of assault is a woman? She only became known to a lot of us as a result of the allegation.

If someone famous is alleged to have assaulted their partner the press does tend to be rather intense. 

There is something strange going on here. Would a male celebrity who was alleged to have assaulted his girlfriend have had the allegation so conveniently minimised and sidelined if they died/killed themselves? I rather doubt it. 

The other side of that is that withering look of, “you dared to ask me out...YOU?”

Don’t they tell men the same thing?

The Gillette advert didn’t ask men to do anything nicely. It set up some very ridiculous, contrived scenarios and implied that men should police the behaviour of other men entirely unrelated to them rather than just wink at them as the usually do (apparently). If it had been aimed at other sections of society, Muslims

Yes, Billy plays the game. He even says he’s after a comeback at any price. It’s not as if you’ve caught out anyone in a lie. The fun part is that he’s more honest than stars usually are when promoting whatever it is they’re promoting.

You can be unanimous in that, but you don’t speak for me. 

Only Liam Neeson’s character got a supermodel and that was a joke in itself. I hardly think Colin Firth was punching beyond his weight to get his Portuguese maid, given that he was Fitzwilliam Darcy in a previous life. And the German girl who pursues Alan Rickman is attractive but she isn’t a supermodel. It isn’t

Except those Spanish people who aren’t white. Spanish is a nationality not a skin colour. 

It’s amazing how few people get the point of the Colin story. The joke is taking his ludicrous (but fairly common) male fantasies about women of a different culture being easier to get and hotter than the local ones (and a persistent belief that men with British accents are irresistible to American women) and
