5 million. The exact number of times I have had to defend my intelligence after admitting that I love rom coms, and NOT ironically. Thank god I have Mindy Kaling writing a NEW YORKER article about how she totally agrees with me. Here is something I am now going to add to my defense of this beloved genre:
I regard romantic comedies as a subgenre of sci-fi, in which the world operates according to different rules than my regular human world. For me, there is no difference between Ripley from “Alien” and any Katherine Heigl character. They are equally implausible. They’re all participating in a similar level of fakey razzle-dazzle, and I enjoy every second of it.
Thanks Mindy, I am now going to quote that phrase and even cite you as my source so that people know that mildly stupid girls like me can ALSO read the New Yorker!
