This. The only thing that has helped me digest the awful writing for anything romantic is that ol Lucus saw it as, and wrote it as, those sappy romantic drama daytime shows…I forget what the genre is called exactly…either way. Makes much more sense in my head now.
i mean if you’ve never had these stupid conversations with your lover you just don’t get it. but they are stupid conversations, not romantic ones. i feel like portman and christensen may have been a bit young for the roles as written.
as an example, my wife and i discussed flour for an hour the other day.
