If Pretty Woman Happened In Real Life
Pretty Woman is one of those movies where, if you see that it's on on a Saturday afternoon, even if it's on the USA Network, you just have to watch it. Okay, I have to anyway (other movies like this include Top Gun, Ghost, and the Clooney Ocean's 11.) This happened last weekend, and I thought the same thing we all think when we see that movie now: that it is completely and utterly ridiculous, even by romantic comedy standards. So I was reminded of this great clip from the late, lamented Chappelle's Show that shows what would happen if just one of Pretty Woman's ridiculous scenes happened in real life:
They could have done that with the entire movie, starting with the part where Vivian doesn't do drugs.

There is some "chick gene" responsible for this type of behavior. For example, I have "How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days", "The Wedding Date", and "When Harry Met Sally" all recorded [DON'T JUDGE ME], but if it is on live television, I must tune to the channel and watch it.
I actually wrote these words last week:
"There’s nothing else on except for “Pretty Woman”, which I’ve seen 80,000 times and my eyeballs will fall out if I watch it again. [Then again, it’s on in the background now and I’m sort of getting into it.]" See what happens?

I don't get the Pretty Woman thing. That spoof says it all. There would never be a hooker/cinderella story in real life.
I just wanna scream during that movie, "Women, please make your own way in life without depending on a man or selling your body!!!"
