In that light, IndieWire’s list of the Best Romantic Comedies of All Time is more of a start than a final statement it’s a living document that we’ll change up and add to as time goes by. Fingers crossed that we find a way to disentangle “foreign cinema” from the arthouse, because there are so many mainstream hits from around the world that never make it to American screens. Of course, the romantic comedy is also something of a universal language, and other film industries (Bollywood most of all) have been churning these stories out for local audiences faster than we can hope to keep up. That might help to explain - if only in part - why the rom-com canon is as white and heteronormative as the history of the American film business, and why that canon is ripe for re-evaluation now that Hollywood doesn’t see the same value in the genre that it once did. No other country is populated by such radically different strangers, nor so enriched by the unexpected collisions between them from “Bringing Up Baby” to “Forgetting Sarah Marshall,” Hollywood has always been eager to sell the idea that we’re all just one chance encounter away from happiness. Richard Curtis’ magnum opus was a British production (in case you couldn’t tell), but even some of its many storylines find something naggingly American about the aspirational nature of the rom-com genre. Literally nothing in “Love Actually” makes sense if you stop and think about it for even a few seconds, but love, actually, always seems to add up in the moment.
#FABLE ANNIVERSARY TRAINER REDDIT MOVIE#
It’s hard to imagine how the mismatched couple in “Something Wild” might possibly sustain a lasting relationship after the credits roll, but where that movie leaves you - and the journey it takes to get there - is so thrilling and alive that you can’t help but trust it. On paper, a film like “Pretty Woman” might be a retrograde fairy tale about a sex worker with a heart of gold and the rich businessman who can afford it, but the chemistry between Julia Roberts and Richard Gere is so explosive that you surrender to the sentiment of it all. There’s a special alchemy that allows us to believe in the magic of meet-cutes, happily ever afters, and all of the agonizing contrivances that tend to pop up between the two that gives storytellers permission to transpose the stuff of operas and fables into the fabric of real life.
So not much you can do about it, really - you can reduce your age by up to 20 years using the temples (10 years each, one-off - will probably require save-scumming), but it probably won't make much of a difference to how your character looksĮDIT: Corrected my numbers, I'd mistakenly put 0.6 instead of 0.There’s something uniquely cinematic about romantic comedies - something that makes them a natural fit for the movies, and vice-versa. In addition to which, your character seems to start looking old around 30-ish, for some reason There are also at least three plot events which age you by a year each.
#FABLE ANNIVERSARY TRAINER REDDIT UPGRADE#
Since the lower levels of everything are easier to upgrade than the later levels, you'll likely be upgrading/acquiring a lot of the lower-level abilities fairly early on, which will age you quite quickly Maxing out Skill as well is another 14.7 years, so that makes you 47. So maxing out, say, Strength is 0.7(7x3) = 14.7 which makes you 32. This has been a common complaint since the original Fable - IIRC your character ages something like 0.7 years for every attribute you level up - you're 18 by the end of the tutorial, and your age maxes out at 65
