So Valentine's Day was pretty good, aside from the fact that everyone is so absolutely needlessly annoyingly promiscuous.
There this one scene when Emma Roberts talks to her grandparents about the fact that she and her boyfriend were planning to have sex during their lunch break that Valentine's Day. And she says something about how she had hoped that this would forge this special bond between them so that when they both go off to different colleges their relationship will last.
And I'm just sitting there going $%#&! because if she's giving her virginity away so easily that how the heck does she even expect him to see it as anything special ANYWAY? -.- And she also realises that this is bullshit, because not 60 seconds later she goes,
"It's not I'm gonna sleep with one person for the rest of my life, right? I mean, who does that?"
(Err, people who actually plan to get MARRIED and be FAITHFUL, maybe? Perhaps someone who's saving themselves for that special Someone, who would be willing to wait to be sure because that Person is worth it?)
Outside of underscoring the idea that being single is a problem, and helping the government promote sex (pre-marital, extra-marital, who cares, right), the movie was pretty good. Lots of big names, short, superficial subplots (not to mention short, superficial relationships), mushy quotes, "awww" moments and a ridiculously adorable little boy in love - hey, what worked for Love Actually and He's Just Not That Into You should work for Valentine's Day, right?
Kinda made me feel like I was alone, though, in terms of value system. Not sure how to explain it, but where I come from a kiss is special (and anything onward from there too, heh). If you kiss someone, it's something special, not just anybody. If you have sex with someone, it's something special. Not just..another boyfriend or something. It's special. =/
Oh, and I suppose you could just french your boyfriend in front of the TV camera (Taylor Swift played the Typical American Bimbo role really well, btw), because of course you're so taken over by the fact that he's hot and he's crazy about you (which, by the way, are just about the only reasons you can come up with about why you like him) that you would just ignore the rest of the world and get lost locking lips with him whenever you meet.
Haha. And someday when I'm having a really bad day I'm going to just go to a club and get dead drunk and make out with a random stranger. And forget all of this nonsense.
