Bottom Gere

An Officer and a Gentleman was on the other day. I hate Richard Gere. I always have. I think it's the whole 'I'm a sex symbol and gosh, don't I know it' thing that gets me. Every woman wants him and even if he gets a hooker she turns out to be Julia Roberts. Bastard. But that final scene, where he walks into the factory in his full navy uniform and carries the girl off in his arms is just cringeworthy. It's porn for women is what it is. If it happened in real life it would just be embarrassing. Moreover, I don't think the foreman would let him onto the shop floor with all the machine tools without safety goggles on at least, maybe a hard hat as well. Health and safety first, romance second. On second thoughts, let him get a drill bit through the eye. He deserves it.
