Mama Jones and I just finished watching Say Anything (with commercials on Bravo - so annoying) and I am left with two lingering thoughts:
1. As Chuck Klosterman once postulated, Lloyd Dobler, or the dateable equivalent, does not actually exist. Coming to this realization while painstakingly studying Dobler's limitless devotion to Diane Court (played by the poor man's Jennifer Connelly) brought me to tears. Personally, I'd rather date Rob Gordon with his enyclopedic pop culture knowledge and endearing obsessive tendencies, but it would be comforting to know there is a man out there who might live for the opportunity to teach me to drive a stick shift, accompany me on adventures overseas, or even just call me every day. (Although, in life, the boombox schtick is a bit overkill.)
2. Jeremy Piven is way sexier at forty-something than he was in his early twenties. And I'm convinced his career began to soar the day he decided never to rap or beatbox on camera ever again. I bet most people don't even remember seeing the future Ari Gold in Say Anything, but trust me, he's in there and as my mother observed, "he hasn't yet grown into his teeth."
