Del, what movie do I take my date on?
There are two types of movies - the type where you know the ending, and the type where you have absolutely no idea. The first type gives you the reassurance in knowing that when the ending happens, you picked it - that life is going on the way it should. There's a degree of predictability, but its comfortable, wrapped in metaphors that deliver bluntly created meaning to the audience. The second type gives the pleasure of emotional discovery. Remember that special feeling when you see or feel something for the first time? The excitement of a first date? That is what the second type of movie gives you.
So - movies are either like first dates, or like long relationships.
Now you know which movie, when romancing a girl, goes where.
Peace.
Del
