Ok - all you guys out there with wives/girlfriends may understand me. I got snookered into watching "The Notebook".

Can I say - I think it's paper thin and as emotionally satisfying as half a sugar wafer?

So I left my wife to enjoy it while I type on ByzCath...

Anyone else been there, done that?

PS: I think George Lucas wrote the script...

Not at all! I'm a big softy for a good chick flick.

But I like chick flicks to be at least MILDLY entertaining with a thoughtful script or somewhat unpredictable storyline! There don't even have to be any Braveheart headloppings to keep me interested! laugh

"Braveheart", the story of WIlliam Wallace, was largley Historiclaly innacurate, so I'd be angry and bemused he whole time. Much like when I watch "Inherit The Wind"... not at all like the real Scopes Trial.

I also avoided "The Da Vinci Code" like the plauge. Even the TItle is wrong, as there was no Artist known as Da VInci, he was Leonardo! This and how a man who has been shot ( by an Albino Opus DIe monk no less0 has all the tiem it h world to Strip Naked, paint in his own blood cryptic symbols, write a lnote that ys "FInd Langdon", thn post in the position of the Diluvian Man, by Leonardo, yet didn't haev tiem to call the police, and get to a Hosptial to sav ehis life ( He surley had time...) is beyodn me, and the rest was so filled with lunacy I couldnt even finish the book in one setting, and I had to revioew it. How coudl I enjoy the movie?

So what is "The Notebook" about?

About the same, without the Opus Dei monk and the body paint.

I saw the movie, it wasn't bad for a chick flick. It was well written, though I can't imagine seeing it again.
