Last night after a movie day and a birthday dinner, and a magazine celebration somehow (and yes, we knew it was a Sunday) we end up in a cab and then at a rooftop party in Columbia Heights. Best party ever really, too. And somewhere in between dancing and telling everyone how happy we are, as though we don’t even believe it ourselves, Will, Jason and I do some romantic comedy talk (“Just friends” is the best. Men hate Hugh Grant. Andie McDowell ruined “4 Weddings and a Funeral”. Ryan Reynolds is a God. You know…the usual) and then Jason brings up this and there was not choice but to run it.
Julie Delpy is such a dream, it almost makes you hate Ethan Hawke’s whiny ass more for having the privilege of this song being sung to him.
Be prepared to “start having a thing” for her. If you don’t already.
how old does a video need to be in order to be considered “vintage”?
September 29, 2008 at 4:58 pmthere is a reason we have () around the word video.
September 29, 2008 at 5:07 pmreally, svetlana? isn’t the correct punctuation to have quotations?
September 29, 2008 at 5:35 pmno, it isn’t.
September 29, 2008 at 5:40 pmi’m going to have to disagree. i have never seen that anywhere else. parentheses usually mean you’re making an aside, and in this case i think it’s meant to be sarcastic, or so-called; so alternatively it could be italicized.
September 29, 2008 at 5:44 pmreally, svetlana? i think amanda is right. in fact, i think she should be the grammar and punctuation police for byt. give her a badge and a gun. she can be like the hall monitor. that nobody likes.
September 29, 2008 at 5:45 pmCAN WE ALL JUST ENJOY THE VIDEO?
September 29, 2008 at 5:52 pmcongrats amanda - you win the retarded and annoying comment of the week and its only monday!
September 29, 2008 at 6:02 pmi quite enjoyed the video. and eddie is already the grammar police.
September 29, 2008 at 6:05 pmMaybe it should be: (Vintage?)
25 years of reading English makes me think that would be appropriate.
September 29, 2008 at 6:36 pmAnd yes, the whole movie would have been better without Ethan Hawke in it, jesus. Ethan Hawke is the “Andie MacDowell” of the Before Sunrise/set franchise.
I also personally think “Knotting Hill” is the best romcom.
September 29, 2008 at 6:39 pmFavorite Julie Delpy movie is not terribly romantic (although in the end it sort of is) - Killing Zoe.
I like Hugh Grant but can’t stand Ethan Hawke. There is a fine line between being a bumbling semi wimp and being a whiny, charmless, waste of film - but there you have it.
September 29, 2008 at 7:14 pmMaybe I should have my column back because I choose stuff that’s awesome, not lame:

September 29, 2008 at 7:49 pmi am not the grammar police. if i was, i would be commenting about 400x more than i do now and nobody wants that.
September 29, 2008 at 9:20 pmlots of actors at their best in Killing Zoe. Eric Stoltz for chrissakes even.
September 30, 2008 at 1:11 amfor the dissolution of bourgeois romance, look no further than The Seventh Continent…now that is sexy! Why Does Herr Blissett run amok?

Totally agree on Andie McDowell in Four Weddings…but why do men hate Hugh Grant and what’s good about Ryan Reynolds (other than his wife)?
