Hi there
I used to love books about true murders. My fave was a thick alphabetical book about famous killers through the ages.
I fell in love with both the book and movie of "The Godfather". Killings galore in this mafia spree, yippee! Give me more violence and action and shooting and murders. I lapped it all up. "The Godfather" was my favourite for years.
But ... a few years back I suddenly discovered I was - what? - reading romantic comedies? Huh?
"The Seat Filler" probably has the funniest Meet-Cute of any book I've ever read. The heroine is a seat filler at a movie awards night. Seat fillers are not allowed to be seen by tv cameras. Uh-oh....
My current movie top pick is "Crazy Rich Asians". It's a romance, set mainly in Singapore. A long way away from "The Godfather". I especially love the put-down ma-jong scene in "Crazy Rich Asians". And the ending... And the beginning... And the family storyline... Oh, everything about it...
I guess most people mellow as they grow older. Me? I have no idea when or how I drifted into being such an old softie. I mean, romance books, really? And movies about love? Rom-comes and Meet-Cutes? Shoot me now.............
Ooops... I have a very faint feeling I've written on this subject before?? Oh, well....
