I detest movies that have bad endings!!!!! I rented (via Netflix) Premonition, a new Sandra Bullock movie. I thought it was a fine movie, until the ending. I was just devastated. I was sobbing on my couch, alone at 11:00 p.m. at night.
Most of you know, I'm not what you might call a "girly girl." You won't find me shopping too much, I've never had my nails done, I don't like wearing dresses, I hate talking on the phone, and I generally do nothing to my hair each morning. BUT... I do occasionally like a good chick flick. Why can't they make them all with fairy tale endings? The girl falls in love with the man of her dreams and they live happily ever after! Not, she realizes she's made some mistakes, tries to fix them, and then her husband dies anyway. Come on!
So what do you think? Might life be too predictable/boring if everything had a fairy tale ending? Can you think of any other movies you've watched that had terrible endings? Let me know.
P.S. Juli, I'm still waiting to hear how the barn dance went! Pictures?

Most of us watch movies to be entertained or to escape for a while. I like the nice, knitted up, happy ending, too. Too many movie-makers try to make us think, when really I want to stop thinking for a while. It depends, I guess, on your goal in your cinematic excursions.
Maybe that's it, I want to escape and not think for a while.
just posted them!
