An excerpt from recent Guardian article by Tom Perrotta, novelist and screenwriter:
"A few years earlier, I'd come perilously close to dumping an otherwise excellent girlfriend after she professed her admiration for An Officer and a Gentleman."
I mean, really. Come on Tom, let's set the record straight here. You're saying that you would gladly rid yourself of a perfectly good girlfriend so that you can stay indoors on a friday night watching Platoon on DVD, safe in the knowledge that no romance-loving woman is going to interrupt your party-for-one by asking to watch Richard Gere.
I'm sorry to say it Tom, but the truth is that no matter how good looking you are, the chances are that you still pale in comparison to Richard Gere. Let's face it, the guy has some swarve and panache which you can buy with a Hollywood actor's salary. You're girlfriend probably didn't admire An Officer and a Gentleman, she simply wanted to watch it for Dicky Gere.
To Do: Watch more Richard Gere movies to improve girlfriend skills.
