waiting seems stupid

so i just saw the trailer for waiting for forever, out in february. and it reminded me of "love in the time of cholera" - the book, not the movie. i couldn't watch the movie because i hated the book. i was surprised by how much i hated the book because i loved serendipity, which is why i read the book in the first place. florentino basically waits his whole life for fermina, and she spends her whole life rejecting him. and as romantic as some people think it is for him to wait for the woman he loves, the truth is, it's not romantic. it's pathetic. she doesn't love you. move on. and then they made a movie and again, they try to romanticize it. and now i've seen this trailer for this new movie and will is stalking emma because he thinks he loves her because they grew up together. and at least they have a basis for their relationship unlike florentino and fermina, but still, she moved on dude. and so should you. but what bugs me is really like rachel bilson and i kinda want to see the movie even though i think i will be annoyed. i've made myself sit thru a lot of bad movies for the actors i like, so i'll probably do it for this one too. i don't even know why i'm watching anything right now. it's way past my bedtime.
