During last night's new episode of "What About Brian" I couldn't help but once again be reminded of Bill Maher's "Be More Cynical" Comedy Special. "The real problem with movies", says Maher, "is not violence. It's romance." Granted this is TV but stay with me here, I have a really good point. Maher continues to sacrastically poke at how unrealistic the common theatrical scenarios have become. "Guy meets girl. She HATES him. But he's gonna get her! Well, in real life that's called STALKING.
Which brings me back to last night's episode.
So say you're a guy with really soft hair and you like this girl. She really likes you too but the thing is, she met you in the bathroom right after you slept with her roommate, who also happens to have the same name as her (extremely hypothetical in my case). So she has sex with you but she's too nice to date you cause that's just like, not cool. So you walk the streets of L.A., pondering the meaning of life, because you know everyone just walks everywhere in L.A., especially at night and especially after they go shopping. Anyways, you randomly run into the girl. She looks flawless, just the way people look after a day of work and shopping. She is sweet and she puts quarters in everyone's meters because "Nobody likes to get a parking ticket". So you beg to call her. She says, "No, I'll call YOU." She smiles, turns around and walks away. You're smitten. She turns around again. Her hair is waving in the wind. She smiles again.
Gotta love escapism.
