Entertainment Weeklyfeatured some of the cast of teen drama Dawson's Creek. The important ones anyway, and that includes bad boy Pacey Witter, who stole many a young person's heart through the television set on a weekly basis.
Writer Alanna Bennett wrote a short ode to Pacey on Twitter, saying how hard it was to lose your heart to someone who doesn't actually exist. Don't worry girl, we've all been there, done that.
Pacey Witter will always be that perfect TV boyfriend you’re like *actually* hurt doesn’t exist in real life.
It's the "look" of all rom com leads. You know the one: When they turn, stare at their heart's desire, and just let her know she's the one. With their eyes.
The number one thing a man in a romcom needs, TV or movie, is the ability to look at their love interest REALLY WELL. The man barely even needs to speak if he just knows how LOOK at a person.
Maybe it's not something you've articulated to yourself, but if you watch rom coms, you know the look. And so do rom com creators—they even talk about it in Sweet Home Alabama, as someone pointed out.
Alanna. Have you watched Sweet Home Alabama with commentary? Because they talk extensively about Josh Lukas's eyes and how important a tenth of a second is at one point.
Or is it just all these leading men? (Sadly, probably, although I wish the rise in temperature meant a beach weekend was in the cards.)
In Pride and Prejudice, Matthew MacFadyen has some very good looks. (And in an instance of not looking telling the story, when helps Lizzy into the carriage without looking at her, then walks away and does that hand flex... it says everything. So efficient but full of story.) pic.twitter.com/CnKaYYWyJM
Which is NOT to say they’re divorced from the action, far from it, ESP in stories where women are falling for women. Imagine Me and You’d entire plot TURNS on a look. pic.twitter.com/IZWcuuuyf5
