I have no real interest in his other flicks, maybe Misery, but that's it. He'll always be Meathead to me.

I'll decline from having what they're having.

The most accurate description of When Harry Met Sally... is "not bad." That's a 5.0 to me.

I've seen a couple of others, but it was long ago and I really don't feel like rewatching them.

It's really poorly written. That hair-brained, oh-so-adorable, men are from Mars, women are from Venus stuff is so tiresome.

"I love that you get cold when it's 71 degrees out. I love that it takes you an hour and a half to order a sandwich. I love that you get a little crinkle above your nose when you're looking at me like I'm nuts. I love that after I spend the day with you, I can still smell your perfume on my clothes. And I love that you are the last person I want to talk to before I go to sleep at night. And it's not because I'm lonely, and it's not because it's New Year's Eve. I came here tonight because when you realize you want to spend the rest of your life with somebody, you want the rest of your life to start as soon as possible."

I mean, honestly, that is nauseating.

[Pop Trash]

I mean, honestly, that is nauseating.

One person's sweet is another person's throw-up in the mouth I suppose.

[Raiders]

I mean, honestly, that is nauseating.

Bet you're a real sweet-talker to the missus, eh?

None of the stuff in that speech is sincere. If I tried to say anything like that to my wife, she would rightfully roll her eyes. It's drivel.

I haven't seen WHMS, but if I said that above quote to my wife she would say, "Is this a joke? Look asshole, I'm sorry that my body isn't as temperate as yours because I don't have balls warming my crotch and its takes me forever to order because I'm A.D.D. and can't make quick decisions, but if you don't quit talking to me when I'm trying to go to sleep I'm gonna stab you."

I'm not even joking. And thats why I love her. :)

[Dukefrukem]

No thread on MC, but has anyone seen LBJ?

I love that this happened eight years after the original conversation.

I'm not going to defend any of my posts that are older than about 2 weeks.
