I am the kind that binges on Hallmark movies on days when things go awry. On those days when date fails forewarn me of the doom and gloom that awaits for me in the foreseeable future. On days when even the luminous Matthew Hussey or a good workout can’t perk up my oxytocin levels. Y’know if ya know. On days when work seems deliriously overwhelming.

Never in a million years had I envisaged myself being this person. A Hallmark movie on-the-go kind. Also, where are all the Hallmark men at? And, and, what’s with the Hallmark families? They couldn’t be any more perfect, representing unconditional love, support and warmth to the fullest. Makes me wonder if they live in Pleasantville, or even better yet, Paradiseville.

By far, I have a few favourites. Anything with Christopher Russel, Niall Matter, Rachel Leigh Cook, Tyler Hynes, Ryan Paevey, Erin Krakow, Cindy Busby, Jill Wagner and Jessie Shram please? Can they be in everything? Ok, thanks, bye!

I don’t know if their movies are great because all of these human are easy on the eyes or they get chosen to do great film projects. Or maybe they make a good call on all their script choices? Who knows? I am just glad they exist and continue making more uplifting, meet-cute movies.

These movies remind me of being glued to old classics on TCM as a teenager. Ahh, those movies always made me smile just like these.

This summer Wednesday has us thinking about Christopher Russell’s busy beehive cast bronze gates at the 9th Avenue station in Sunset Park.
