During breakfast I watched the last bit of "You've Got Mail" with Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan. I've never seen the movie, but my husband, Jon had. He wanted me to see the end of it, so I did. It was charming and romantic, and made me think I might want to watch the movie from the beginning, but it also made me think of questions.

Has your real life romance ever been influenced by a romantic comedy film? If so, which one/s? Do you think that any romantic film reflects anything close to real life? If so, which one/s?

I know I saw "You've Got Mail", but I don't remember a single thing about it.

Anyone else think she's desperately fishing for inspiration for Merry here?

I haven't seen it in ages, but in general, I didn't like it.

Meg Ryan owns a small bookstore opened by her mom, I think, but which is going out of business because of the giant corporate bookstore owned by Tom Hanks' character. Just that premise turned me off of the whole movie, and if LKH is fishing for plot material, I am especially not looking forward to the end result.

While Meg "Indie Bookshop Owner" Ryan and Tom "Evil Proto Amazon Guy" Hanks hate each other IRL, they are bestest soul mates on the interwebs, which have only just been invented.
