Same old Gal preferred Gal movie - Imagine Me & You (2006) Discussion

[–] ljr-x25 12 years ago

There are very few movies where the girl actually ends up with the girl over a guy. Yet you have a knack in tracking them down so you can complain about the plot. It happens in real life and it happens in films, just because you can't stomach that fact doesn't mean these movies shouldn't be made.

As for Kissing Jessica Stein, you are mistaken. A)Jessica did not chose Josh over Helen or vice versa, she wasn't dating him. B)Jessica was clearly shown to be straight and bicurious which is why her and Helen couldn't have worked out. Josh was irrelevant to it. In the other movies the woman were either bisexual or closeted lesbians therefore it was completely believable they would end up with women. You really do seem obsessed with this kind of storyline, it's worrying.

I'd die for you. I love you. I love you so much it's killing me.

Typical reaction, you really think you are on to something, anyway I do not see these movies the way you do. I wonder why my statements bothers you, even more interesting is why you bother with trying to chastise me for saying it. It is, as yours is, a typical male reaction to these movies. You have yours, I have mine.

Why would you take my comments so personal, please read what i actually say and try to be more respectful in your disagreement. My comment is not really offensive yet you act as if I am talking to you personally. You should control yourself and I am sorry if such a statement is painful to you or rubs you the wrong way, I truly mean that, you should use a ignore me button if you find what I have to say offensive. If you don't it would seem as you like what i am posting in order to....Well you get my drift, I'm sure.

You couldn't be more wrong.

Bloomington, Elena Undone, The Four-Faced Liar, The World Unseen, and When Night Is Falling is just a few of many movies where seemingly straight women are put through lesbian conversions and leave decent men to be with another woman.

But unfortunately, we live in an age where the Liberal Progressive agenda is at its strongest, and anyone who notices such trends have to receive condescendingly snide rebuttals from California's den of sniveling trust fund kiddies.

>> These movies always seem to have the same ending the gal has a good guy and finds she is attracted to another gal and dumps the guy for the girl.

Really? Name a bunch of movies that have this ending.

Perhaps I should say it a different way. Woman in a relationship with guy if she has an affair with a gal, she most likely chooses the gal, if you have not seen this in almost all movies with this theme then you must be pulling my leg. How about you name movies where this scenario happens and she chooses the guy..... Yea Right. It would be only a matter of averages that some woman try it and hates it. I guess you have seen a lot of those too. This thread is truly not intended to anger posters, but i feel they film makers most the time, but not all the time put a spin on theses movies that does not ring true too reality, or at least to the degree it is shown. As a film watcher don't you ever want to see the other side.

You really must get bored deliberately going out of your way to find these movies just so you can complain about them. Why don't you just stop watching lesbian themed movies if you can't handle the fact some women leave men for other women.

I'd die for you. I love you. I love you so much it's killing me.

You know there is something called an ignore button so posters who don't like what they read from certain viewers don't have to read/see what they have to say. You are a bit thin skinned on my commentary, witch tells me I am saying something offensive that you don't care to read. If this was something that effected me of what someone was saying, I would have asked the person to understand that there commentary is hurtful to some posters and I should word it differently as not to offend some viewers, Instead of making something I said as a launching pad for your getting your satisfaction on telling me off. Witch makes most posters like who you think I am only become worse. Since I am not that type of person i will say these following things. (and boy did you judge me wrong)

I will say that is what i got from a private message and it truly hit home, i will from this point on watch how i word such commentary, and be more aware of posters such as yourself that they may feel offended by my wording of sensitive material that may affect them.

But if i may say most the things i wrote were not meant to be offensive, but true curiosity on why most lesbian movies never show why some women reject it for what ever reason, and just thinking of this would make a good movie also. But i guess i will stay curious and let it be.

I hope you don't hit the ignore button on me as i may have something good to say also and maybe i can show you even a person such as myself can learn to be sensitive about how i word things with someone like you in mind.

This seems like such a non-issue to me; like a problem that only exists in your mind. If the film is about women learning that they are lesbians, why would it end with them going back to their boyfriends? If the film is about sexual experimentation then yes, there is a good chance they could go back to the men in their lives, depending on the nature of their relationship.

Do you have any actual examples of movies that support your argument?

I will say you missed my point and leave it at that.

[–] ChocolateButt 12 years ago

I am not convinced that you had a point. At least not one that you expressed clearly. Either English is not your first language or you are being deliberately obtuse. Maybe a bit of both.

Yeah, okay, I can see that there is nothing of value in this thread. "Goodbye".

Not always. If she didn't realize (or accept) she was gay until meeting Luce, then once that "can of worms" was opened with her liking women, it would be hard for her to stay with Hec. She tried to stay with him, but it wasn't going to work for either of them.

I think this could easily translate to if she had fallen in love with another guy. She and Hec were having problems with intimacy, already, and if she fell for someone else, it may have been hard for her to go back to Hec in the end.

You should watch the movie How To Lose Your Lover with Poppy Montgomery. It has the ending you're looking for.

I read it and loved it you should become a therapist some of your commentary is so on the money. I wrote a couple of threads on that movie and was so amazed by some of the discussions with that film. You have a great open mind with sexuality witch is rare with these type of movies it is hard to get some viewers to see reality when they see what they want no matter how it is presented. In that movie thre was so little talk on the Josh that i had to defend him because it was a major part of the film that the lesbian crowd could care less about about.
That film showed acceptance from all sides that sometimes you can't get what you want.

Kissing Jessica Stein isn't anything like IMAY etc. That movie is about a clearly straight woman experimenting, there is a major difference between a straight woman, who rightfully shouldn't end up with another woman in a movie. And a gay/bi female character who rightfully should end with the another female character as they are the love story. Jessica belonged with Josh because she wasn't gay or bi, and he was a good match for her.

If a woman is gay or bi she has every right to end up with a female character, whether you like it or not. The movies aren't there to please you because you are a male viewer and feel offended that a man loses out to another woman, the stories are there to show gay relationships exist and are as valid as any hetero ones.

You seem to be offended by my opinions and I don't know the real reason why. Why don't you put me on ignore if they bother you so much, that is what I cannot understand do you feel you are solely answering to me as someone angry that a male has something different than what you like to read or portray, It's ok we all have done it before, but some of us learn when to let go. I hope you can learn this in the future all things "you" consider to be something against lesbians is not up to you to personally fix or consider you are the authority on what someone wants to say or do. Learn to relax and take things in stride. MY COMMENTS ARE NOT AIMED AT YOU PERSONALLY. By the way I responded to what you wrote before you changed it to suit your response to what i originally replied to. You should be ashamed.

Both of your replies came after my typo edit. So I have no idea what you're on about. But then I never do as you seem to have a major problem with everything.

Nice to hear a lesbian admit (sort of) that bisexuals exist - quit a few I've read think they're "really lesbians, just confused". Anyway I think that sexuality is often more fluid with women than with men. Just a thought. AND THERE"S THE BELL! BOX! (You 2 have fun)

reply

[–] ljr-x25 11 years ago

I'm not a lesbian. I am a bisexual female, so I know there are at least three sexualities. Which is something a certain poster on here can't comprehend.

Did you have a girlfriend who left you for a woman or something? On boards for Imagine Me and You, Bloomington, and Kissing Jessica Stein I've noticed your name pop up; you've repeatedly brought up the men in the story - how hard done by the good, loving men are, or how much better off with men the women would be, or how men are their comfort zone because they, deep down, actually prefer men.
Think about all the countless films where man A steals a woman from man B... the oldest plot in the world, but change man A to woman A, and suddenly the plot is trite and overused? Nuh uh. I don't think so.
