Does this butterfly perform it?
I wish I could turn off my mind so often. About 90% of the time it's during movies. My best friend, Mary, and I joke about what we call the "macgyver paradox". It's when people nitpick the small scientific bits while accepting the whole ridiculous situation, based on people who watch MacGyver and complain that no one could build a bomb that quickly. They first have to accept that MacGyver exists. And that the situation that calls for the bomb is realistic.
"Yes, but how does it make SOUND in SPACE???"
I've been reading this book called "The Male Brain", by a lady whose name I can't remember and I'm too lazy to look up (even though I just googled to see if it was spelled "MacGyver" or "McGyver"). As a woman, myself, I realize that I'm basing my reaction to male behavior based on the context of my own brain. This is illogical. (By the way, does The Male Brain apply to Spock?)
Why did you abandon the goatee? Why?!?!
Perhaps this is the inherent flaw in all romatic comedies (work with me, here). They're based on one perspective - and aimed at one perspective. Could we make a romantic movie from the man's perspective? Would that movie be called "The 40-Year-Old Virgin"? I've personally always wondered what Nicholas Sparks was like in person. Here's this guy who writes super sappy books for women that like storylines involving romance and terminal diseases. What is he like in person? Does he like explosions? Is he a fan of the buddy-cop format? These are the questions your public is burning to know, Mr. Sparks!
