I used to like that movie just as much as the next person - it is very quotable, after all - but one day, apropos of absolutely nothing, I looked around and said "That movie is really pretty misogynistic, isn't it?" and ever since then I haven't been able to get into it. I can watch the occasional scene, but I can't see it the whole way through.

I don't say this because I want to be argued out of my position, or because I want to convince you of it, just because that's how it went. One day I could watch that movie and the next day - never again!
