--- Quote from: Gyrre on 01 Nov 2020, 17:09 ---I blame Hollywood. There are so few stable/healthy relationships in movies and so SO many examples of sequels where the pair that get together in tbe first movie get broken up off screen just so they can retread the romantic subplot. Usually much to the detriment of the narrative.
Are there any examples other than The Mummy and The Mummy Returns where that doesn't happen?

Why, The Matrix. Though, as we all know, there was only one movie.
Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure.
Star Wars.
Shrek.
Theres not many movies which have followups in the first place ... and if they do, they often dont have such romances in the first place. On Terminator, the man is killed before the end, and the second movie has no romance. Alien, first one has no romance, second and third one the man gets killed between movies. Bourne, the romance gets killed early in the second movie.
But this is definitely done often, and the worst example for this is actually Futurama. Many times they start a Fry and Leela romance in one episode only to have it completely wiped from everyones memory in the next episode, with no explanation whatsoever. Thats frankly very annoying.

--- Quote from: Tova on 01 Nov 2020, 19:28 ---Doing the work to become a better person is self-love.
--- End quote ---
Of all the meanings of---and overused it is, the word---``love,'' an endeavour as dry error correction, scarcely would, if ever, come to mind.
--- End quote ---
"Love people just the way they are, and too much to let them stay that way."
It's presumptuous when applied to other people but as an attitude toward self it makes sense to me.
Tova:
I am infinity grateful that my partner did not simply let me be the person I was over a decade ago.

Oh whow drat - I missed an important "IMHO" somewhere in there.
Probably originally wrote it then rewrote that part so often it somehow ended up getting deleted.
I really hope we get May next week...
Tova:
Me too. Anything, really, other than a week of on-the-nose dialogue with characters explaining their feelings for us. Dull as ditchwater.
