Nice Guys and Heartless Bitches (that's sarcasm, btw)

A Rehearsal Room of One's Own spells out the plot of the Story That Needs to Die Like Yesterday:
I'm not the only one tired of the "manlier than thou"/"women have hurt me" plays. And within this niche, there's one storyline in particular that bugs me, and it goes like this: Nice Guy meets Hot/Quirky Girl. Nice Guy falls for Hot/Quirky Girl. Hot/Quirky Girl cheats on/leaves Nice Guy for Nice Guy's Incredibly Douchey Best Friend.
Since that blog post sums up my feelings about it quite succinctly, I'd rather point some of you in another direction. This direction can be summed up as - Stop Fucking Making This Shit!!!

  1. Did you see "500 Days of Summer?" It was the most insufferable piece of crap I've ever seen.

  2. @Josh:

    Nope! When I saw the trailer and posters that's exactly why I skipped it.

  4. Definitely. I'm glad I'm not the only one who is just plain bored with that storyline.
