A rare movie that makes the list

My EXTREMELY small list of movies that do not have 'injected romance' include even some classics, like 'Misery' and 'First Blood' - TRY to find romance in these movies, I dare ya!

I was waiting for it, I was waiting for the 'I am a woman, hear me roar'-moment, I was waiting for the usual misandristic BS to come crushing down on a promising beginning.. but although there were some punches along those lines, it never truly happened.

I was amazed - this was an actually GOOD movie, without any 'injected romance'!

Sure, unrealistic women - there's no way that even a reporter would do or say those things she said and did in the movie. The only men any woman would ever 'make a move' on are the kind of men women never HAVE to 'make a move' on, because _THOSE_ men make the moves on them.

Women don't make sexual moves - they flirt, they play mind games, they 'position themselves appropriately', they give innuendo and hints, but they never, EVER make a 'sexual move' unless they are a professional.

No, not a professional REPORTER..

In any case, this movie really surprised me - besides that, and the unrealism of 'a cigarette lobbuyist giving out secrets to some bimbo just because he thinks she's got a pretty face (or 'tits', as this movie puts it)' (that kind of rich lobbyist would have plenty of experience, and wouldn't be so manipulatable by women).

There's one thing I hate about this movie, and it's how easily swayed everyone was about some article without evidence, written by some silly, young female reporter. That the newspaper would publish that 'article', that's nothing but HEARSAY, is ridiculous to the max. That the newspaper would DARE publish that and not get any repercussions from big corporations and lawsuits up their buttockses..

I mean, if THAT is how easy it is to 'tell the truth' in a newspaper, all newspapers would have been FULL of easily-written no-evidence mindflow-articles like that, all throughout history. But that's not how newspapers work, that's not how ANYTHING works. You can't just write matter-of-factly how someone did this or that, without worrying about libel. There are thousands of things wrong with this whole premise.

WHAT would prevent 80000 other 'female reporters' writing exactly the same type of articles, extremely libelous, if no evidence is required? Every newspaper would be filled with these female-written 'hearsay articles', exposing all kinds of powerful people, most of the time it would be just lies, since why not?

Besides THAT (and some masonic crap), this was a great movie, even the kid actor was actually perfect, which I don't think I have ever said before. I don't even smoke, and I think cigarette corporations are evil.
