Back to my cheese allergies

Funny how this could have been the most creative piece during its time time, I mean, two guys fighting over a girl? "Who's ever heard of that before?"

Nowadays this scene just seems so cheeesy and is used only by writers with no creativity who need something for "On today's episode of 90210..."

I blame my lack of interest in romantic stories on the fact that every single one of them seems like a carbon copy of something else and nobody can come up with new ways for characters to find their soul-mate (or not).

If there is one trait that I share with my friend Anastacia* is that we can't take a movie seriously, whether it is suspense, gore, drama or romance, we always end up tearing it down to pieces and making fun of the script every chance we get. Just the other day I was looking through my old movies with Anastacia and we came across my Disney collection so we just HAD to feed it to [a very dusty] VHS (I can't believe I just almost typed HIV) and The Little Mermaid was first in line. We kept laughing and giggling (especially during the "dramatic" bits) unaware that Mufasa* was eavesdropping. Once the movie was over Mufasa handed me a copy of a very old, yellowish original version of The Little Mermaid and upon reading [googling] the ending I discovered it was not half bad.
Turns out Ariel's love is unrequited and she turns to sea foam while the prince marries some other floozie.
see?
original
I like it.
PS: is it just me or does anyone else think it's ridiculous that Emelye has absolutely no say in this?
