Tonight I was watching the movie Easy A featuring Emma Stone, and her character says something that I absolutely love.
"What ever happened to chivalry? Does it only exist in 80's movies. I want John Cusack holding a boom box outside my window. I want to ride off on a lawn mower with Patrick Dempsey. I want Jake from sixteen candles waiting outside the church for me. I want Judd Nelson thrusting his first into the air because he knows he got me just once. I want my life to be like an 80's movie. Preferably one with a really awesome musical number, for no apparent reason".
I completely agree with this. Maybe I'm just completely cheesy, but there would be nothing like having one of those moments in real life. No guy would do this, but I think it would be awesome to look out my window and have some guy blasting some sort of classic song from a boom box. Although these days it would be coming from an iPod hooked up to a portable stereo dock, but the thought would be there. Hell, I'd even take a ride on a lawnmower. There's also those great moments you'll see on TV and the movies where the guy and the girl are talking, and all of a sudden he just reaches for her and kisses her. As adorable as these situations are, they would never happen in real life. I supposed that's why they call it acting. Even still, watching those classic moments still makes your heart melt. I know I'll still secretly hope I'll have my own 80's movie moment someday, and yes a really awesome musical number would be the cherry on top.
