This man has the ability to look at anyone like they hung the god damn moon and I need him to teach a class cause a lot of actors are sorely lacking this ability
I also really appreciate that I know next to nothing about him. He does the work. Tells a cute story here and there. Entertains. Goes back home to his gorgeous wife and kids
Ryan Gosling is a movie star.
Bring back movie stars.
Bring back big, splashy production numbers.
Bring back fun, silly, heartwarming spectacles of glitz and glam that remind us that dreamers are what make the world go round.

once again she’s mastered her brand image and knows her target audience insanely well
A perfectly beautiful man showing he loves you by doing exactly as you ask with not a lick of back talk and then stages a gorgeous rescue of you when you’ve been kidnapped and is willing to live with you in a swamp. Survives death to come rescue you!
Ruined. For LIFE!
Fuck that not titillating shit. Just give me your favorite consensual sex scene in a movie or TV show. I don’t care about artistic value. Just a sex scene you love. Please don’t be weird.
You might be tempted to argue with Rebekah and say that it was marketed as an action rom com, but you would be wrong. When I, a person who is very heavily invested in romcoms and essentially hoovered up all the gorgeous marketing of this movie, left her opening day screening…
If it was marketed properly as a rom com and allowed to be in theaters for at least 2 months it would make its money back easily. Giving people two weekends to get to theaters with the promise that the movie with be available on VOD almost immediately??? Come on.
by the age of 30 you should have a favorite pen you won’t let anyone use, a cache of pretty notebooks you’re saving for a special occasion, and at least one piece of media you rewatch endlessly for comfort
the thing about listening to romance books when im grocery shopping is that i forget im in public and do things like shout “marry him you dumb ass ho!”
Enola Holmes 2 feels like reading a Romance novel by Eva Leigh or Sarah MacLean or Lorraine Heath. Also, Tewksbury has improved as a character and Romance hero. Just really fun.
“I haven't worked in 2 years, every role I was being offered was the sad mom. To be honest, that's been hard for me...because I need to feed myself. The hardest thing is being a mom and...not feeling like, I have nothing for myself.” — Kirsten Dunst for

shocked that it was actually a romcom, that should tell you everything right there. The romance was the engines of that wonderful movie, and the marketing, wonderful that it was, had me convinced that like so many action movies it was the side plot

bring back the titty fucking covers of old! i saw a tumblr somewhere that said something that we stopped being a civilization when horny oil painter stopped being a profession
We can just call something a romance. Romance is not a bad word on its own. And if you feel the need to add another word in there, I believe you’re looking for Canadian. Another lovely Canadian Romance. Love that for us
Any time an article reads that the subject “couldn’t find a romance novel so they wrote it themselves” and it’s not so hyper specific that it’s down to the type of underwear the characters wear, then it’s a lazy shoddy PR piece that’s insulting to the writer’s peers
@thatclarafied
It relies on a lot of intertextuality and understanding of cultural references that I think are lost on a lot of people. We see it constantly with other older pop-culture
Long story short: if you love romcoms, Fall Guy is the perfect action romcom to kick off your summer. Also, I need a special release with all the DVD extras, directors cut, and commentary tracks
God, can you imagine if they made a romcom and got grown up Devon Sawa in it and in the trailer he whispers in his love interests ear “can I keep you?” Theaters would be sold out filled with millenial women trying to recapture that feeling we’ve been chasing for almost 30 years
One of the reasons that I wish everyone would stop referring to Romance as smut and porn. It’s not because I’m some pearl clutcher who doesn’t enjoy a well done sex scene. It’s because once y’all start collectively calling it porn, that’s the first step in banning it.
Hey! I think it’s time for another round of describe your romance novel like a r/relationships Reddit post. Bonus points if it’s a book coming out in ‘23
Babe. No. 56 seasons. We don’t need to change the format! It’s for the babies. Unless some developmental expert came in and said this is gonna be better for the kids, keep that shit as is
He’s no longer Captain America so he told his publicist that he needed to remind us he fuuuuuuuccccckkkksss (baby we remember the dick pick, don’t worry)
Ok

Now THIS is summer blockbustering. It has all the feel of a 90s summer banger, great cast, and the perfect dumb story that doesn’t make you use your brain.
Glen Powell is the Himbo of the decade
what pisses me off the most is that I didn’t even think it was going to be good, but I was like, “let me give this a shot” and then it was great AND THEN THEY DESTROYED IT!!!

Hey all you crazy cool production company kids, there’s a fucking shit ton of Romance novels from BIPOC authors (especially Black ones) that would be absolutely amazing for you to develop for TV &/or movies. If you feel like you need a Ouija board to find them, call me instead!
Please. Also no more series about one couple that have like 3 books and each one this long. I’m sorry, but if you need 1200 pages to tell their story, maybe it’s not worth telling
Age gap is gross. There’s nothing wrong with a reasonable age spread, but if I see one more 30+ year old being “bewitched” by someone barely old enough to drink in the US I’m throwing my kindle out the nearest window
once more i am begging hollywood to greenlight a ms bev universe. movies! a series of mini/limited series a la danielle steele back in the 90s, i do not care!!! just get me her shit in a big production. spend the money and you will see the return in triplicate
“asked me to be in a musical, i can’t sing, i can’t dance. then i saw it was also pierce brosnan & colin firth. and they can’t sing & dance either. . . we were the bimbo in this female production” i love him
A man who knows how to hold his seat...
We’re so used to watching people right horses in movies and not people who regularly ride horses. He holds his core and shifts his hips, as opposed to bouncing all over the fucking place.
A lot of people have said it better than me but if you’re really more concerned with Jack’s supposed “tone” rather than the issue he’s trying to discuss, you’re part of the problem. If you don’t see the problem with norms of mlm being defined by people who aren’t actually
Sir, are you asking me to fight against my teenage instinct to always root for Josh Hartnett? I’m sorry but that shit is hardcoded and I might be rooting for a serial killer
First look at Zooey Deschanel and Charlie Cox in rom-com ‘MERV.’
It follows an estranged couple who learns that the dog they share is suffering from depression following their break-up. They awkwardly reconcile to take their pup on a vacation, in hopes of lifting his spirits.
if there isn’t an awards show for marketing campaigns for movies, there needs to be some sort of honor for all the magic they pulled together for this movie
