I got this ultimatum about a week ago, and then it was CONSTANT NAGGING, until I finally submitted last night, and relented to watching this mash of clustermush. Not terrible, but seriously how did this film shape a generation of women?

 

[Amaris]

Why not watch it with her and enjoy her company? Without her having to cajole, beg, or "nag" you?

 

[Guy Gardener]

'Watched it last night.

I'm fine now.

Out of the dog box.

The Notebook does seem like a ten years ago problem, but I was wondering if it's still a pressure point that rears up, or it's a notable historical crisis point in relationships that were around a decade back, worth reminiscing about.



Last week she made me watch Mean Girls.

"Brrrr-rrrrrrrr-rrrrr!"

I watched it so that if a woman ever mentioned it, I could demonstrate knowledge of it and thus quickly pretend to be a caring human male with a functioning aortic pump.

 

[Guy Gardener]

Staring them down insisting there's a coal nugget in my chest worked well for long enough.

 

[stardream]

I wouldn't ask my husband to watch something I have no interest in watching myself.

 

[Guy Gardener]

It's called a false flag.

By pretending to be sacrificing some "dreadfully important together-time" that is far less important than you make it out to be, he owes you as big as you tell him he owes you.

If life was fair, our score, wouldn't reset back to zero whenever we remarried.

 

[CorporalClegg]

I watched it once out of morbid curiosity. (I was bored.) I thought it was pretty awful, yet I couldn't find the will to turn it off.

 

[Guy Gardener]

Would you liken your choice more towards shooting yourself in the foot or playing hop scotch in a mine field?

 

[hux]

If you don't like The Notebook, then the terrorists win.

 

[MANT!]

My first wife made me watch many chick-films over our marriage..there was one we saw in a dinner theater..women crying all over during the climax of this 19th century tale and I got a tear when I spilled my beer (at $3.80 a glass).
My ex-wife commented on how sensitive I was..what is it with ladies and tragic endings?

 

[Tom Hendricks]

I went and saw it in a theater with a woman I was dating. I liked it, especially the bookends with James Gardner. I thought Rachel McAdams was really good in it and James Marsden. I haven't watched it since but my overall recollection is that I liked it.

 

[Sparkle Fabulosa]

I love The Notebook!

To all the male individuals who have seen it...

I feel like this song was inspired from the movie.

Oh look,more rampant sexism talking about how all women like stupid things, because all women are exactly the same. Yeah, that's really hilarious.

 

[Kemaiku]

Never seen it, never intend to, hate that "genre" of movie.

I don't know if they are intentionally being rampantly sexist or not but I have no idea what they are talking about. I never watch 'chick flicks' or rom coms or relationship dramas or whatever it is they are calling them these days...but even if I did I wouldn't force or beg my husband to watch them if I clearly knew he didn't like them.

So when you're rewatching a season of Voyager, dominating the media centre for an entire three day weekend, he sits down beside you, leans in and doesn't complain?

That's great.

You're complimentary.

....

Aunty Hill, are you addressing the poster directly above your last post, or the entire thread?

 

[Kor]

This movie is one of the most idiotic piles of steaming horse hockey that I have ever had the misfortune of watching in my entire life.

And somebody I once knew (who absolutely adored this movie) made me really relate to the James Marsden character. This movie certainly has influenced people's views of things.

It all depends on how Noah killed Ali in the end?

Pillow over her face?

Knife strike to each kidney?

Whatever killed River Phoenix in her IV?

Woke his old lady up and Clockwork Oranged her with the Notebook?

 

[Sparkle Fabulosa]

I'm thinking it was poison. Their scene was cut with the nurse finding them together so maybe offscreen this happened.

Noah: Here Allie, take this. We can die together and be in heaven. Then you'll always remember.

Extends some poison out to her.

Allie: ... Who are you again?

Noah shoves the poison into her mouth.

~The End~
