Chick flix shortcut
Introducing “Chick Flix Shortcut”. Guys, no longer do you have to watch chick movies to earn points with the ladies, just visit this website and get the key points you need to know:
- what soft-as-mush, pretty boy is the star?
- should you have cried at the end?
- should you have been affected at a fundamental level (eg volunteered for a kids charity, saved a sea kitten, hugged a tree, joined Greenpeace)
- was that, like, the best kiss or what?!
- who’s the new McSteamy?
You’ll know exactly which films to mention to come across all metrosexual and sensitive. And if you’ve used the “you complete me” line already and you need more ammunition, ChickFlixShortcut is just what you need.
Don’t waste 3 weeks watching The Curious Case of whatever the hell it was called…something about buttons?, just consult ChickFlixShortcut.com and you’re all set. Here’s what some of our members had to say:
“Thanks ChickFlixShortcut, my girlfriend thought I was such a nice guy”
“The tips about making yourself cry were genius! Put that shit on YouTube, please!”
“A bunch of roses: $70. A rental DVD: $6. Never having to watch another click flick again: priceless!”
“Even if you fall asleep, you can just recite the CFS ‘memorable quotes’ and she’ll never know the difference!”
Other features include wiki-style collaboration to produce a useful yet as concise as humanly possible synopsis of every film (at last, a valuable use for web 2.0!). For example, we’ve collectively whittled down Thelma and Louise to “two chicks, a car, Brad Pitt’s ass and a cliff”.
And of course, guys can help each other out by voting on which chick flicks give the best results. Just listen to this happy voter:
“5 stars! I got to watch football all weekend after agreeing to rent this crap movie for the missus on Friday night!”.
Best of all, you’ll get vital alerts regarding those films you should avoid at all costs. You know the ones, those which might result in a weekend full of “long walks along beaches” or worse…the “so when are we going to get married?!” conversation.
Not convinced? ChickFlixShortcut.com is not just about movies, we also have an impressive database of TV shows, ads and infomercials!:
“I looked up CFS and got the whole story arc for Grey’s Anatomy Season 5 in about 3 minutes, it was awesome! I SMS’d it to my best mate and he never has to do dishes again. Ever!”
“I scored so much after telling women how I sometimes feel like I need to reconnect too, and how a nice warm mug of Nescafe and a comfy pillow usually does the trick. Hah! I’ve never even watched that stupid f***king ad!”
“When I started on how those lying bastards who make mid-morning infomercials just lie, lie lie…it was gold!”
We’ve also taken the user generated content to an all new level, with integration with Twitter and Facebook. At the click of a button you can create an automated stream of chick-flick injected mushiness that will surpass even that big wussy from Sleepless in Seattle. (But don’t worry it’ll be completely separate from your real account that you use for the boys). Here’s a sample:
Sam_Baldwin_1234: just cried during “Bride Wars”. I need a hug! #romcom
Coming soon! ChickFlixShortcut iPhone app
Never be caught off guard again, if you’re out and about and she mentions some lame ass movie that you’ve never heard of and would probably start carving away at your wrists after the first 10 minutes, don’t worry just consult CFS on your mobile and you’ll be in like Flynn.
[no this isn't real, it's just my start-up business idea for today]
