LOVE STORY was HI-larious!!
Just finished watching the 1970 tear-jerker LOVE STORY on the WE network or some such--first time I'd ever seen it. I have to tell you, I howled thru the entire thing. Do you think they meant it to be so damn funny? I found suspicious little acting, no dialogue and the sound man should have been shot. Another movie I recently saw that was unintentionally funny was THE BLACKBOARD JUNGLE. Wow---America really was different back in the day. Anyone with any recommendations? Laughter is the best medicine, you know.

love means never having to say your sorry
Oh my gosh Bri . you are In my head!!
My partner LOVES this movie.. he cries everytime and just idolises it, when he showed it to me i laughed through the whole thing! his family looked at me like some blackhearted deamon woman but it was so damn funny and pathetic! and when she dies.. it was so stupid and bad that i giggled the whole time, and he got SO shitty with me. Oh well, i guess i aint no romantic!!  The same thing happened when we watched "on golden pond" together. Just hilarious!

Sun, are you sure your partner isn't secretly gay?

If you think the movie was cloying, read the books.

And remember, it's the biography of Al and Tipper Gore, creators of the Internet and music censorship, respectively.

I cry at some movies. Some movies are very reliable in this way. I don't know if I want to set myself up to be laughed at, though. Perhaps another thread.

don't worry, bigV. I'm just a callous bitch. I'm actually jealous of Ali MacGraw's eyebrows.

I think this line's mostly filler.

[edit:] This may or may not actually have been pre-Tipper, but Tipper herself was not the model for the female lead in the story.

How funny is it that right after little miss can't-be-wrong forgot her house key and was left shivering in the cold that she became incurably sick? It's all pretty much Ryan O'Neal's fault.

I watched Peyton Place and Return to Peyton Place the other day. Now those two movies - both were good - but had those moments of WTF hilarity.

I was not aware of the "Love Story" Al Gore connection. So I did a quick Google and found this.
