It reminds me of that joke about the priest...
God Will Save Me
A big storm approaches. The weatherman urges everyone to get out of town. The priest says, "I won't worry, God will save me".
The morning of the storm, the police go through the neighborhood with a sound truck telling everyone to evacuate. The priest says "I won't worry, God will save me".
The storm drains back up and there is an inch of water standing in the street. A fire truck comes by to pick up the priest. He tells them "Don't worry, God will save me."
The water rises another foot. A National Guard truck comes by to rescue the priest. He tells them "Don't worry, God will save me."
The water rises some more. The priest is forced up to his roof. A boat comes by to rescue the priest. He tells them "Don't worry, God will save me."
The water rises higher. The priest is forced up to the very top of his roof. A helicopter comes to rescue the priest. He shouts up at them "Don't worry, God will save me."
The water rises above his house, and the priest drowns.
When he gets up to heaven he says to God "I've been your faithful servant ever since I was born! Why didn't you save me?"
God replies "First I sent you a fire truck, then the national guard, then a boat, and then a helicopter. What more do you want from me!!??"
Back to the movie... If fate brings two people together, cool. If two people deliberately temp fate, then they are stupid and they are destined to be miserable.
Don't rely on a used bookstore or Craig's List. Tip: Take it from these two and at the very least, agree to meet somewhere specific in a certain date.
Despite that huge flaw in the movie, I watched it. Kate Beckinsale.
I'm a John Cusack fan myself. I think Serendipity and High Fidelity are two of my favorites. I've got a copy of Grace Is Gone on DVD just waiting for the right opportunity to watch. It's supposed to be a definite departure from his usual fare.
ReplyDeleteI'll give you High Fidelity, but Serendipity was a stinker. Every time I watch it, it pisses me off more.
ReplyDeleteSay Anything is a good one.
True. Say Anything is an essential to any Cusack fan's collection! Runaway Jury is another very good one. Not a romantic comedy but an excellent movie.
