\nThe ghastly news spilled out onto the multimedia world on Halloween. Coincidence? After only 72 days of marriage, Kim and Kris were calling it quits. Horrifying!<\/p>\n

Is love dead? That has been the question swimming in my head these long days since the bombshell hit. Images of Miss Kardashian splashed across every magazine at the check stand counter (I\u2019m pretty sure she was on the cover of \u201cSports Illustrated\u201d last week but I could be wrong) while \u201cTMZ\u201d has been bludgeoning the story to death from all angles. All of this laser-focused attention begs that same question: Is love dead?<\/p>\n

The answer is no.<\/p>\n

I came to this conclusion the only way I know how; by throwing a movie-watching party. I call it the Kim Kardashian Film Festival and it is a wonderful tool you can use to help you process this devastating news and move on with your life. Here are the films that make up the program. Watch them in this order to achieve the full, soul-cleansing effect.
\n\"\"<\/a>
\n\u201cKramer vs. Kramer\u201d (1979): Divorce is sad. That\u2019s what this Academy Award winning film teaches us. It is gut wrenching when Ted (Dustin Hoffman) is left behind by his wife, Joanna (Meryl Streep), to raise their son alone. At least Kim didn\u2019t leave Kris with child. Whose to say they even consummated the marriage?<\/p>\n

\u201c9 \u00bd Weeks\u201d (1986): Talk about a fleeting relationship. The dysfunctional time that Kim Basinger and Mickey Rourke share in this sizzling, erotic film is WAY shorter than the time shared by our Kim and Kris. Their marriage lasted 10 weeks and two days, which is a week longer than that. I guess it depends on what they meant by \u201c1\/2 Weeks\u201d. Is that 3 or 4 days? Probably falls on a Wednesday. Either way, Kardashian\/Humphries wins this one.
\n\"\"<\/a>
\n\u201cWhite Men Can\u2019t Jump\u201d (1992): This one is for Kris. He plays basketball, right? I\u2019m pretty sure he does. So much focus has been on the pain and suffering Kim has been going through, why not show a little love for the poor guy in the situation? And what better way to show your support than by watching a hilarious movie with a semi-racist title? There is no better way that I know. <\/p>\n

\u201cThe Sting\u201d (1973): Kim Kardashian reportedly made roughly $17.9 million dollars from sponsors for the wedding. Forbes Magazine reported that 2.5 million dollars were paid for the photos alone. If you were to be cynical about the whole thing you could say that Kim made over $10,000 and hour during her 72-day union. Oh, and \u201cThe Sting\u201d is an excellent movie.
\n\"\"<\/a>
\n\u201cThe Truman Show\u201d (1998): Talk about prophetic! This film starring Jim Carrey was released a full two years before \u201cSurvivor\u201d hit the airwaves and the reality show craze enveloped our country. Truman (Carrey) is the unknowing star of a television show that has gone way too far to entertain the masses. How far will a show go to \u201ccreate a reality\u201d that is dramatic enough to satisfy our voyeuristic cravings? According to \u201cThe Truman Show,\u201d pretty far. <\/p>\n
