I owe my wife a chick flick
Does this happen with your significant other (or wife, or lover, or only friend on the face of the planet)?
One of you can handle a little gore in a movie and the other winces? I like action movies and some have a tendency to splatter blood. My wife prefers cute love stories where they only splatter the love. So we went out and saw "Eastern Promises" over the weekend. A knife fight in a sauna. Something is going to get red in that deal. I told my wife when to close her eyes and when to open them. The movie was really good on other levels. One movie we haven't seen is "300," what my son calls, "The Matrix of Blood." I'm sure I will see it and I'm sure my wife will not. So what's your take on gore? Can you handle it? Or would you rather see a love story with scenes that make you go "aaaaah" rather than "aarrgh!" Posted by Steve E. Swenson P.S. I would note my wife is not a total wuss. She liked "The Departed" and some other scarlet-tinged action movies. 5 comments from 4 users

You and Mary can handle gore better than we can, Steve. What was that thing you suggested we watch where the psychotic kid was carving up the neighbor's pets? OK, there was nothing on, but yuckaroo! Good chick flicks have to be comedies with great dialogue. I'd watch The Devil Wears Prada again and we'll watch Murriel's Wedding, Clueless and My Big Fat Greek Wedding once a year, although Wifey would watch them once a month. Just plain smoochy stuff like You've Got Mail and George Clooney snoozers - no way. posted by

"300" was the most beautiful violence I have ever seen,plenty of it too. Huge difference to me between "300" and those Hostel(which I will not see) or the really no point but to gross you out films. Just finished seeing "oldboy" a weird blend of action/"love" story that leaves you speechless at the end. I loved "Departed", "History of Violence"~ I like a film where violence,like nudity ,it is not the story , but moves the story along.
