I think that's why I really loved Truly, Madly, Deeply. The main characters were very scholarly, very artistic, and as such, you could expect a lot of unrealistic, pretentious dialogue, but there really wasn't. I don't remember even once thinking to myself "NOBODY talks like that!!!" As opposed to TEP and the dreadful Titanic. Pearl Harbor was another stinker. I can't believe how bad scriptwriting has become. Do writers have contact with other humans? Sometimes I wonder.

I'm ordering "Truly, Madly, Deeply" today from Amazon, (thanks for the tip, I'm looking forward to this!) along with another gem I just saw last weekend: "Dear Frankie". It could have been sentimental and sappy, but instead was absolutely delightful. And for us Gerard Butler fans, it was a huge treat. (If you look at the reviews, ignore the Entertainment Weekly one and the Village Voice one, as the reviewers apparently never saw the movie and gave their reviews based on the story synopsis. Look at Ebert and Roper, and the "real people" reviews, which show how outstanding it is. IMO.)
