Rumor Has It & Materialism

So I watched a few movies tonight, Rumor Has It... & Keeping up with the Steins. What can I say I like romantic comedy's; I watched 'The Holiday' last night with Kate Winslet & Cameron Diaz.

So romantic comedy's; humor and love(but usually at the end); add Four weddings & a funeral, about a boy, wimbledon, notting hill, & love actually all fit into that category. So there were a few phrases which caught my attention whilst[I'm on and olde english theme that the moment] watching:

Life should be a little nuts. Otherwise it's just a bunch of Thursdays strung together. - Rumor Has It... [something I agree too, but maybe Tuesdays would be a better choice, as my Thursday are great]

I only drive so slow sweetheart because you're in the car with me. - Rumor Has It... [Though oddly my father/mother never slowed down, at least not that I know of. My father was a test pilot & fighter pilot, slow was not an option; I was taught to go fast the day I could drive]

I'm not going to tell you I can't live without you, I can live without you, I just don't want to. - Rumor Has It...
A truly romantic section, would I break down so quick...I just don't know. Nonetheless; fits into when her father was talking of love versus lust.

Materialism
Then onto Materialism, I love the movie "Keeping Up With The Steins." I'm not Jewish, but having been to many bat/bar-mitzvahs I understand it. They were all about the money; isn't this passage of time a passage from child to adult in the Judaism faith? Similar to 'going walkabout?' It's interesting to me that in the recent productions, Jeremy Piven a man who is very spiritual goes and portrays in realistic depth the mental being of men who are materialistic whores; maybe he grew up in that life??
