We watched a bunch of random fluffy movies

The Lovebirds - Stock “man who knew too little” plot, but the delightful interaction between the leads is the reason to be there anyway.

Mortal Kombat - As delightfully terrible as I remember it, but I didn’t realize how bad the martial arts were.

Underworld - Also delightfully terrible, White Wolf publishing was absolutely right to sue them for copyright infringement, and I hadn’t realized Captain Cold was playing the hapless mortal boyfriend.

Burlesque - A dozen Christina Aguilera videos interspersed with two Cher videos. Also I maintain that Aguilera’s character’s actions, up to and including her brain-fogging obsession with burlesque dancers, are not the actions of a straight woman.

Palm Springs - Direct to Hulu starring Andy Samberg and Cristin Milioti; a delightful Groundhog Day spin that’s only mildly predictable.

I really enjoyed Palm Springs, but between its premise and its cast, it would have had to absolutely shit the bed for me to speak ill of it.

Jethrien was skeptical (she's generally iffy on rom-coms) and then found out that Miloiti was in it. (They went to high school together.)

I like good rom-coms quite a bit - but so many of them are terrible. Not like so-terrible-it's-good, I mean just cringy and sexist.
