On Saturday two girlfriends and I saw the movie "The Time Traveler's Wife." It's a love story about this girl who falls in love with this guy but the problem is that he keeps disappearing.
Sometimes when he returns he's older - sometimes younger - and always in need of clean clothes.
In some ways this describes your everyday male/female relationship problem.
Oh, and I forgot. She tricks him into getting her pregnant.
This movie kept my interest but I was frustrated by the ending. No problems are solved. I thought when the guy was diagnosed by the genetic specialist (he had Chrono Impairment) we'd find the secret of this impromptu and inconvenient time traveling and get in corrected.
Another frustration: They get rich by cheating on the lottery i.e., getting the numbers in the future, then going back to buy a ticket. Does it seem right to you that this swell, handsome guy should use his powers for stealing?
And finally, there's the laundry factor.
In all of these ooy gooey romantic movies they never seem to have to deal with real life. The ooy gooiest one that comes to mind is "Bridges Of Madison County."
At some point you have to run the sweeper, do some laundry and buy groceries.
That's when lots of guys disappear.
