jackI had a rant prepared about "stop being so wet, I don't care if you're too shy to express them, but have an opinion about something!" and "your problem is not that you have new relationship energy with someone else, it's that you and your fiance have nothing in common".
But that's not true, is it? Shakespeare wrote awesome plays about "oh look, new relationship energy, lets make really unfortunate decisions" and "oh dear, I don't know what to do now, oh look, everyone's dead".
But more and more mainstream films just make me want to yell at the characters to pull themselves together, but that doesn't help because (a) me yelling at people is no more informative than other people yelling at me (b) everything already happened and (c) it's fictional.
