Is It Weird That I'm Kind of Excited?

What do Scarlett Johansson, Drew Barrymore, Jennifer Aniston, Ben Affleck, and Jennifer Connolly all have in common? They're all in He's Just Not That Into You: The Movie , coming to a theater near you August 2008. Six degrees of separation just got a little easier, y'all!

L train...again.

my friend and i were talking about 30 days of night, which she'd seen and i hadn't, so you joined the conversation to posit your opinion that it was the worst movie you'd ever seen. for that, i respect you, and also, you are cute. and yes, we were on the damn L train, and yes, you got off at damn Bedford. maybe next time we can see a movie with some artistic merit.

UPDATE: I got one response since posting this a few hours ago.

I hope you find the boy you seek and live artistically and happily ever after. I'm more of an analytical dude myself. I like movies where people die, and things go BOOM! Your friend may be more my style. I have included a bit about myself below:

• SM
• 28 y/o
• 6'2
• thin (think runway model-type, yes I use to model)
• 150 pounds
• Yorkie owner
• very metro (although I hate labels)
• Evanescence is my favorite band
• I don't own an Xbox 360 or any other video game system
• I"m well read if Linux, and hacking books count
• My idea of a good time is going outside and having a snowball fight!

A couple of comments:
- so he's an analytical, action movie-loving, former model who writes code and has snowball fights? got a lot going on there, bucko.
- "yes I use to model" - thanks for a) the confirmation and b) the lack of punctuation
- what's the line between "metro" and "very metro"? price of hair product? height of faux-hawk? skinniness of jeans?
- I like that Xbox is specifically called out.

HI Frankie. This is Genuine. Thanks for writing. It's to help devise a potential diversion for possible candalizer trouble maker in building. This is not too much brain surgery.
