I want to move to Seattle
I just finished watching Singles for the elevendy billionth time, and that movie gets better every time! What I wouldn't give to have been twenty-something in Seattle in the 90s! Chuck Klosterman has argued that women can never be truly satisfied in a realistic relationship because of John Cusak's character, Lloyd Dobler in Say Anything, but I would argue that Steve Dunne in Singles is just as amazing- especially after THIS SPEECH:
"Linda, uh, it's me. I had to call you. It's about midnight. I was just having many beers. And, uh, I just wanted to say what I should have said at the dock. I fucking chickened out when I acted casual, like Mr. Casual. I should have said it. You... belong... with... me! We belong together. And what really pisses me off is that, now that we're really talking, you thought i proposed to you only because you were pregnant. What's that about! I mean... hey, this is not the bathroom! And you know maybe if I had said some of these things at the dock it would have made a difference because, but I think we made a big mistake because, we had good times and we had bad times, but we had times. And I would like to start over. I would like to be new to you. I want to be new to you. I want to be Mr. New. So call me back if you want to. But this is the last time I'll call. And, if you really needed to know how I feel, how I really feel, that's how I feel. I love you. And that's something you should know, so I won't bother you again. So, good night. And good bye. And call me back. Good bye."
To think, they got back together eventhough she never heard that message! Aaaahhh, I could live a fulfilling life vicariously through my favorite movie characters forever!
