cfeng (and everyone else please remind me of this when the time comes):

If we go see Troy we have to go in a big group. And I am not sitting anywhere near you. There are two reasons for this - if I'm sitting next to you I won't be able to quell the slasher in me at all. Also, you bring out the critic in me. I want to enjoy Troy as what it is. I know that if I walk home from the cinema with you I'll end up tearing it to pieces.

If I'd gone with my sister I expect I'd have come out of Hidalgo with a more favourable review. But when I sit beside you I somehow get some of your 'film critic' hat. I don't want to be a critic of Troy, I want to be a groupie who gets swept away by the magic.

Normally I'm pretty critical anyway and so it's fine. The difference is I'm critical out of love, you're critical out of scorn.

This is one film I want to enjoy, even if it's not a good film.

Quelling isn't good, its a form of self repression... slash yourself to death honey!
Maybe you need to switch this around.. instead of him turning you into the critic, you need to turn him into the screaming fangirlboy!
I want him coming out of that cinema squeeing "ohhh did you see how cute his curls looked?" ;P

I wish I could do that. But he'll come out with tons of problems with it which I had chosen to overlook for the minute.

*sticks tongue out at CFeng*. You know you will.

fine. i'll emerge and not criticise it for at least 12 hours. but as for "ohhh did you see how cute his curls looked?" i think that'll wait until only aleathiel is around to hear.
