...minimize the importance of overthrowing the Galactic Empire or dumping The Ring in Mount Doom, but shouldn?t there be a place in the canon of epic films for a story about a man trying to keep his dying beloved alive? Kids, who think they?ll live forever, might not hook up to this trope, but adults should.

...think you can have equality in your marriage and still wear nice jewelry. If it is a big concern, when your boyfriend gets down on one knee with a ring, hand him keys to a new car you've just bought for him. You could think of this as a dowry for the modern woman. -Cathy...
