He wrote an "elevated rom-com"
๐๐ซ๐ฆ๐ฅ๐ฒ๐ฏรณ๐ซ๐จ๐
Jaq
I was legitimately shocked that Pretty Woman wasn't written by Nora Ephron because the other two were.
Jaq
and...Pretty Woman was also the most obviously written and directed by men
๐๐ซ๐ฆ๐ฅ๐ฒ๐ฏรณ๐ซ๐จ๐
Well, I suspect what he means by 'elevated' is 'a guy wrote it'
Jaq
also like, what rom coms is he talking about when he talks about today's aesthetic
๐๐ซ๐ฆ๐ฅ๐ฒ๐ฏรณ๐ซ๐จ๐
he also intends to direct it of COURSE
Jaq
well no, the other two were written and directed by women (or partly written, When Harry Met Sally had multiple writers)
Jaq
not women
Jaq
a woman
Jaq
wait, no, she wrote and produced When Harry Met Sally
Jaq
she directed and wrote Sleepless
๐๐ซ๐ฆ๐ฅ๐ฒ๐ฏรณ๐ซ๐จ๐
I think she did, y
๐๐ซ๐ฆ๐ฅ๐ฒ๐ฏรณ๐ซ๐จ๐
But the movie he's talking about that's "elevated" is his own that he wrote with alison brie that he intends to make her star in

Dave Franco on his Feature Directorial Debut: 'The R...
๐๐ซ๐ฆ๐ฅ๐ฒ๐ฏรณ๐ซ๐จ๐
because of course his movie is the 'best'
Jaq
but like, elevated in comparison to what?
๐๐ซ๐ฆ๐ฅ๐ฒ๐ฏรณ๐ซ๐จ๐
Whatever rom coms he's seen these days, I guess, he doesn't specify
Jaq
I'm struggling to THINK of rom coms that exist these days, is my problem
๐๐ซ๐ฆ๐ฅ๐ฒ๐ฏรณ๐ซ๐จ๐
I mean, I guess he could mean movies on hallmark network
๐๐ซ๐ฆ๐ฅ๐ฒ๐ฏรณ๐ซ๐จ๐
but those aren't really...the same as pretty woman and sleepless in seattle, etc
Jaq
Is he comparing it to like...Hallmark movies?
๐๐ซ๐ฆ๐ฅ๐ฒ๐ฏรณ๐ซ๐จ๐
Crazy Rich Asians could count as a rom com, maybe/
Jaq
Or Crazy Rich Asians?
Jaq
or To All the Boys I've Loved Before?
๐๐ซ๐ฆ๐ฅ๐ฒ๐ฏรณ๐ซ๐จ๐
yeah, and like...netflix romcoms aren't really on the same level as Pretty Woman
๐๐ซ๐ฆ๐ฅ๐ฒ๐ฏรณ๐ซ๐จ๐
For one thing, they're usually about teenagers
Jaq
Is he going after Isn't It Romantic? Which was a parody?
Jaq
I mean I'm already seeing a bunch of titles I never heard of because this shit tends to go direct to streaming these days
๐๐ซ๐ฆ๐ฅ๐ฒ๐ฏรณ๐ซ๐จ๐
I suspect he's being vague on purpose
Jaq
(still enraged by Pizza My Heart as a title)
๐๐ซ๐ฆ๐ฅ๐ฒ๐ฏรณ๐ซ๐จ๐
PIZZA MY HEART
Jaq
But no, the fact that I had to reach super hard for titles that touched the mainstream and could be categorized as a rom com
Jaq
tells me that elevating it isn't going to do much for him
Jaq
in fact it's probably going to make it that much more obscure and unnoticed
๐๐ซ๐ฆ๐ฅ๐ฒ๐ฏรณ๐ซ๐จ๐
Dave, you were in the worst season of scrubs
๐๐ซ๐ฆ๐ฅ๐ฒ๐ฏรณ๐ซ๐จ๐
stop being so pretentious
๐๐ซ๐ฆ๐ฅ๐ฒ๐ฏรณ๐ซ๐จ๐
also, isn't...alison brie his wife? Why does that feel weird to me, to write a rom com for her to star in
Jaq
if you have memories of Bo and John Derek that might be why
Jaq
because they are still probably the most notorious examples of this being done and it being all kinds of wrong
๐๐ซ๐ฆ๐ฅ๐ฒ๐ฏรณ๐ซ๐จ๐
That's gotta be it, y
๐๐ซ๐ฆ๐ฅ๐ฒ๐ฏรณ๐ซ๐จ๐
....even his interview about his horror movie is pretentious

Jaq
I still have flashbacks because of Ghosts Can't Do It

I do like Alison Brie. Didn't realize she was married to this dummy though.
๐๐ซ๐ฆ๐ฅ๐ฒ๐ฏรณ๐ซ๐จ๐
