Colin Firth! now with Manic Pixie Dream girlfriend (Arthur Newman trailer)

Wed, Apr 24, 2013

So glad to see Emily Blunt getting one of those coveted Manic Pixie Dream Girl roles. It’s what every female actor aspires to, a funky let’s-take-goofy-Polaroids scene.

Oh, and she wears wedding dresses inappropriately. How manic pixie of her!

share and enjoy

…but I WANT a manic pixie dream girl to stir up my staid, 8-to-6 humdrum life!

Maybe a kitteh, though. Kittehs do the same thing… only with more hairballs on the bedsheets I think…

Then I think my manic pixie dream girl may be defective. :(

Wait, no, turns out she was a kitty all along. I guess I should have known since we met at the animal shelter.

Both of the leads are way better than this. What the hell has gone wrong? Does somebody at the Sinister Hollywood Conspiracy Headquarters say “you’ve been in too many good movies, it’s time to do a stinker before you get too popular”?
