What are these type of movies called? When something supernatural or paranormal happens but it's all just a shitty generic hollywood comedy in the end?
Like What Women Want
13 Going on 30
Freaky Friday
What are these movies called and why did they stop making them, they're so dumb and nostalgic.
Movies your mom/older sister enjoys
"Kino"
Becaue today's audience doesn't have the capacity to follow the message conveyed through the means. They need to have it spelled out.
>he rich
>he sex good
>she like
low fantasy
magical realism
Chick flicks
I think you're the first person to realize they're established enough to be their on subgenre and so you get to name them OP
I gotchu senpai, this movie came out in 2015 but it's like it should have come out 20 years ago.
Woymen fantasy
nailed it
i will call them magical realism
after my fav writerguy Gabriel Garcia rip my man
Chick Sci-Fi
would the invention of lying also be in this list?
>Simon Pegg
>Lily Mo's mom
Kino confirmed
Also this
Bizarre. Never heard of it. 20 years ago that would have been a seriously badass cast. Now I couldn't give less of a fuck. Probably why I never heard of it. I'm assuming straight to video.
Load of has-beens and a dead cunt.
>hey it's me god I'm paying attention and I'm gonna make something impossible happen so you can learn the lesson of loving your family
What were they thinking
they still make movies like these
Is that one of those triple feature box sets?
sure, also based Groundhog Day I reckon
I remember this movie having like a 5 minute kissing scene between mel and helen hunt. Legit about 5 minutes
I haven't seen it but people here say it doesn't follow it's own time travel rules
Bullock kino
I am pretty sure the name of the movie was "What Women Want" not "Like What Women Want", OP, how did you mistake this when it says that right in your OP image, faggot?
I come from a different Mandela Universe, couldn't find a picture for obvious reasons
I still find it funny Based Mel was in a chick flick.
Mel was considered quite the heartthrob before his troubles.
If you're going Bullock, the Lake House with based Keanu is definitely in this bizarro genre.
Also, What Women Want is genuinely comfy and I will watch whenever it's on TV for /ourguy/
They're way too common.
I remember in high school, my senior lit class called it 100 Years Of Sex
didnt that big ass buendia son fuck a loli or something?
is the dumbest idea for a movie?
Called Kinos
never heard that
I loved the book tho
It's decent. God is a bit of a dick.
Mel still is a heartthrob. The guy is alpha as fuck.
>Took on the Jews and won!
>Made a film about Jesus being killed by the jews that was a big hit!
>Made Apocalypto, probably the greatest film of all time. Featured no jews.
>Told his wife he deserves a BJ BEFORE they go to the Jacuzzi
>Avoided playing Mad Max in shitty feminist remake where Max is reduced to being a cuck in his own franchise
>Makes face at recent awards ceremony, where haughty feminist ugly dyke bitch Meryl Streep talks bullshit, becomes classic reaction pic (pic related)
>Not embroiled in any sex scandals while Jew Hollywood implodes (weinsteen et al)
>Still makes pussies wet even though he's like 80
If they ever make Metal Gear the Movie, Mel would play Old Big Boss for sure.
gwyneth paltrow is CUTE in this flick
please spoonfeed me because I am a faggot out of the loop
I keep seeing that "they" tried to take down Mel, that he won and beat them etc. what exactly is the context? what happened with Mel? was he accused of the meme sexual harassment bs or what
>"What Women Want"
>picture of a white guy
MKUltra white killers
Are you 12?
>Apocalypto, probably the greatest film of all time
He said the jews are responsible for all the wars in the world, got blacklisted, and is back starring and directing again
Oh I remember seeing that one.
the 1980s were all about these kinds of movies. Sometimes they would invoke science to justify the madness but it was all fantasy in the end, and it was terrific
Groundhog Day falls under this category no?
The fuck is going on with her leg?
>not understanding the unsustainability and hollowness of this
>breaking down the entire category in OP to a reductionist conception of it
>hurr rich guys are better in bed
lol
Did you consider reading my post before getting mad?
Explain faggot
This is pure watch-on-date kino
is this kino?
you’re still implying the same thing, that these were good movies because they subtly conveyed the message that women are basically disney princesses waiting for safe rich quirky alphas to come save them, and its all framed through the cutesy off-putting (but enjoyably so) lens of low fantasy. Men have the same shit with superbad and sci-fi faggotry like Weird Science and War Games and Ferris Buehler its all the same faggot shit. For soft skulled consumers
>these were good movies because they subtly conveyed the message that women are basically disney princesses
Not what I said. Not even possible to read it into my post
>Men have the same shit with superbad and sci-fi faggotry
>its all the same faggot shit. For soft skulled consumers
Could it be that you have some other retarded issue that you project into my post?
Yeah, calling Like What Women Want magical realism sounds dumb as shit, but it's completely accurate
no, it's a shitty Fluke rip-off

Super Romcoms
Romantic comedies with one supernatural element that jump starts the plot
The Supernatural element always only works twice, once to set the plot in motion and another time to resolve it
They follow the pattern of
>Seemingly stable domestic life and or successful career
>Really revealed to be hollow underneath because of lack of relationship or strained family relationship
>Must put something before family, love or friends
>Supernatural think helps selfish goal
>Things seem to be great initially
>Realize all the things that made you happy about your former life are slipping away
>Only good new thing is some new romance
>New romance finally doubts and leaves you were the various oddities you have do to Supernatural event grow too large
>Finally find Supernatural person, thing, place or event and go back to before
>Begin life again with renewed purpose and fulfilled romance
Some might be tempted to put other movies like Big into this category, but while having almost all of the elements it is not a Super Romcom
Did you make this shit up on the spot?
p-pretty good, I'm impressed
Work will almost always be the thing put above all else
Ideally the supernatural element helps the career initially, but sometimes it hinders but in an odd proves a characters talents
The movie will spend most of its time following the characters work or whatever they value too much, but then oddly have an ending saying that was not important
>they subtly conveyed the message that women are basically disney princesses waiting for safe rich quirky alphas to come save them
wasn't there a youtube video that talked about this that always gets flagged and deleted?
Thanks
Liking these movies has been very useful in my life because women adore them
then what did you say you incoherent fuck? what was the point of your post? its totally inscrutible and the only one in the whole thread that isn’t obvious in its meaning. pray tell
spot on

Becaue today's audience doesn't have the capacity to follow the message conveyed through the means.
They (today's audience) need to have it (the message) spelled out. (Example:)
>rich, sexually attractive guy therefore the woman desires him
Airplane movies.
Yes, Aureliano Buendía marries a 9 year old and gets her pregnant
>8 year old turns into an adult with mind of an 8 year old and has sex with a woman
WHAT WERE THEY THINKING

Jenna, just give it a rest.

wait, so you can just watch this like he actually cant read their thought? Asking because don't really remember this movie
I saw that too. Fuck this thread is taking me back
Patriach Super Romcom
The Supernatural plot starter is granted by a seemingly benevolent higher authority
Allows for a wider range of supernatural events but the character will find that they have very little control over it which is blamed on their own flaws
They will actively try to reject the power given to them but this will be denied and they will inevitably be told why they failed by the now much more serious divine being
This one allows for the main character to be crushed much harder and the message to be delivered like a ton of bricks usually to death
In the end almost all is still undone like the usual Super Rom Com
Came here to post this.
because it's more fun to fantasize about some dank shit you could do and how it would make your life better than it is to only think about the downsides
the point of the film is escapism but to not include some form of realism is even too dishonest for hollywood, there are no magic easy solutions to your problems so it would be unhealthy to go around expecting/chasing after that, nothing wrong with reminding people that what you wish for is almost never what it seems
how are supernatural romcoms of the past any more subtle and nuanced than comparable movies of today?
