“The whole purpose of places like Starbucks is for people with no decision-making ability whatsoever to make six decisions just to buy one cup of coffee. Short, tall, light, dark, caf, decaf, low-fat, non-fat, etc. So people who don’t know what the hell they’re doing or who on earth they are can, for only $2.95, get not just a cup of coffee but an absolutely defining sense of self: Tall. Decaf. Cappuccino.” ~ Joe Fox, You’ve Got Mail
You’ve Got Mail is still one of my all time favorite go to films. I love it. I love love love New York..in the fall.. and otherwise. I love Kathleen and Joe. I love the whole idea of the film and yes I know it’s a remake, but a pretty good one if you ask me. I wish that there were more great romantic comedies out there, seems like so many are from the 80s and 90s.. why? Why can’t there be good ones written anymore? Okay a few great ones from 2000 and up are, The Holiday, It’s Complicated, Love Actually, About a Boy, and The Silver Linings Playbook, and oh (500) Days of Summer.
The drawing is one I did this morning when I heard that quote… I do love my decision making time at Starbucks.

I also miss great 90s films like you’ve got mail… Movies and soundtracks from this era will always be special.
The Wedding Singer, Forest Gump, Titanic (guilty)…Is it weird that i’m starting to consider these as classics? Even movies like Happy Gilmore, There’s Something About Mary, Tommy Boy, might not have as much wisdom as the others but still, c’mon.
