Ha! I have the same problem with French movies. It doesn't help that the French movies that do make it onto IFC or whatever, usually ARE surreal and end with bleak despair.

Hermione would probably be a great wife but I picked Ron. I don't know, I think we'd be weirdly compatible. Under all the goofballery, he's clever, loyal and passionate. A much better match for me than know-it-all Hermione. Especially since I'm a know-it-all.
