Yeah, no cars blow up. Chick Flicks.

Mostly doltlike most of the time --- that's intense doltism!

The repeating convenient storyline of conveniently loveless and therefore amicably broken convenient prior love relationships in "Sleepless" and "Mail" which facilitated the true love relationships was a simple tool and signified shallowness in the characters and expediency to the happy ending we all waited too long for.... and both movies neglected all of that nasty relationship development stuff which happens after the big moment of discovery.
Pulp romance fiction. Same formula.

Whoa... that was a much more articulate review than my "me not like" remarks. :'o In the "making of" WHMS on the disk, Meg Ryan articulates the personality of the character she's playing (the interview was vintage) and gets it, whereas Ephron (whichever one) obviously still doesn't get it. Speaking of not getting it... I think I've finally settled on the most concise sig line... bedtime, I really mean, anybody want a peanut?
Please FREEPMAIL me if you want on or off the "Gods, Graves, Glyphs" PING list --
Archaeology/Anthropology/Ancient Cultures/Artifacts/Antiquities, etc.
