I could never be with someone who likes Joni Mitchell. "It's clouds illusions I recall/I really don't know clouds at all." What does that mean? Is she a pilot? Is she taking flying lessons? It's probably a metaphor for something, but I don't know what.
Joe Fox
You've Got Mail is admittedly tough to swallow. on the one hand it avoids the usual pitfalls romcoms are known for. On the other hand, it creates needless new headaches. Tom Hanks plays a confident but ruthless businessman called Joe Fox. Meg Ryan is the owner of a small bookstore.
There may be more subtlety involved but this is a romcom and the issue is how long is it going to take before both of them wake up and see what's in front of their face.
You have to give create to the producers for not just giving us Sleepless in Seattle II. Not many romcoms can name-drop Foucault without seeming to go overboard.
