For real

And I love that Zahn's character was trying to protect her

I love that he starts painting this image of Joe being the rooftop killer, not being able to contact Kathleen due to being in jail: "He only had one call, so he had to call his lawyer"

As a 90's kid, it's great to see a forward-thinking movie that has plenty of dial-up connection scenes


I still remember that dial-up sound that you can hear in the movie!

Amazing how it's broadened beyond business in the 21st century and become something that we basically use to live out so much of our lives Can be a toxic place, sadly.

I like that Joe and Kathleen develop a connection that never comes across as creepy in the movie. I never feel uncomfortable watching them write via email without knowing each other, because you just sense through their words how much they understand each other.

yeah, you're right. although I always considered it cheating cause they were both in a relationship and had been fantasizing about each other for a long while

Oh, it's definitely emotional cheating which is no less bad than doing it in person.

Nora Ephron tries to make it --more understandable-- by making Joe's girlfriend seem self-involved (their break-up in the elevator) and Kathleen's boyfriend shamelessly flirting with the woman on TV

I mean, I don't mind it, you have to move on from a relationship somehow that isn't working and these two were so good for each other

They were great for sure, and I'd say Tom and Meg's chemistry adds so much to it.

That said, you do question how long they were contacting each other for before we see them at the start of the movie.

It definitely didn't feel like a new thing Their conversations were flowing from the start.

Such great chemistry
