Movies, they aren't just romantic on screen

So a few nights ago, I was watching TV and up popped a commercial that "Sahara" was going to be one TBS tonight at 8 (or some crap like that). Anyway, it got me thinking about movies, especially love stories, and movie stars. And if movie stars watch the movies they star in long after they finished filming.

In "Sahara," Matthew McConaughey and Penelope Cruz play love interests. And they dated in real life. Obviously, that relationship wasn't a keeper. But I wonder if either of them watch that movie and feel awkward that they were dating at the time.

There are lots of other couples like that. Penelope Cruz and Tom Cruise. Gerard Butler and every female movie star. Zac Efron and Vanessa Hudgens. There are countless examples of couples who fall in love on and off screen. And while it's great for Angelina Jolie to say that not a lot of kids get to see the movie where their parents fell in love (you know, while one was still married to someone else), I wonder how awkward it must be to watch a movie where you fell in love with a costar and now you have fallen out of love.

Yes folks, these are the things I wonder about sometimes. I'm a deep thinker.
