(500) Days of Nonsense

This movie is pissing me off and providing a sense of masochistic amusement that only things that mimic real life can do. I think I am watching my current romantic dilemma unfold before me. The facts are these:

  • Intense beginning of a relationship, check
  • Girl sets expectations for nothing serious, citing her perpetual fear of commitment, check
  • Things flame out with the boy going off his rocker, oh yeah
  • Girl tries to smooth things over and keep things friendly, yup
  • Boy bends over backwards to try and maintain good vibes - I mean, can you blame him?
  • Things flame out because nothing has changed from the first time around.

If this movie is any indication, things aren’t going to end well for this boy.  While this girl doesn’t have another guy in the picture, it seems plausible that she’s going to maneuver around disaster by assuming there is someone out there who won’t make her feel like Sid Vicious and leave this Nancy.
