But I'm also looking forward to the day when Hollywood can make an action adventure movie entirely devoid of romantic sub plot.
Look, when our generation first came to computers we needed the metaphor of the "desktop" to be able to enter the computer...kids today don't. And in a sci-fi action/adventure, earlier generations may have required a romantic subplot, but kids today don't (shoot 'em up sci-fi vid games don't have romantic subplots!).
She’s the daughter of a criminal. Her father’s a car thief who used to take her along when he went out to steal cars, and when he got caught, she got caught.
This is the kind of dopey contorsion into which writers twist themselves to squeeze in the pro forma Hollywood element in the name of broadening the audience. (Do you really non geeks decided to go see Transformers because it wasn't just about big robots!?)--less believeable than a '74 Camero actually being a giant robot from outer space!
Sure you can mix genres and make it work--Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon was like a Henry James Kung Fu movie! Brilliant because both its action story and its romantic stories were equally magical and inextricably intertwined, not just placed side by side as a matter of convention.
