She definitely got the face she deserved. All of the charm has been drained out of it.

Emma has it, too

I thought Meg Ryan would have been the first choice due to her having done Sleepless in Seattle with Tom Hanks.
I can't picture Julia in You've got mail, and can't picture Meg in Steel Magnolias. But I can totally see Cate Blanchett in Closer.

But by then Julia would’ve been the bigger star, so I could see it.

i guess i could kinda see producers worrying that it would be too much to have Meg Ryan and Tom Hanks in a 3rd rom com together, that people would be over their pairing. But it worked out.

I totally forgot about Joe Versus the Volcano

Closer was such a nothing of a movie to me. I remember watching it and wondering why it existed. Everyone was unhappy in it. Hardly anything seemed to happen. The timeline stuff just confused me.

Jude looked pretty though, so it had that going on for it.

And Clive!! Ugh, he was just so hot that era.

I remember going to the movies only to see Jude law because he was gorgeous. I don’t remember anything else.

Young Jude Law was next level. So beautiful even his hairline didn’t need to be.

i love her idc, shes such a movie star, when shes onscreen its crazy--- pelican brief, mystic pizza, stepmom--- i would love my best friends wedding 2 ..

I have such a love/hate with You’ve Got Mail. I am not a fan of the actual movie but it has great moments/lines. Unsurprisingly I hate the scene with Sara Ramirez. Not because of them. I just don’t think it’s as cute as everyone thinks it is.

With that! I would actually love a My Best Friend’s Wedding sequel 🙈 I love that movie and Kimmy deserved so much better.

I remember when I first watched it, I was rooting for Julia’s character. In hindsight, Cameron’s character was sweet, kind, and lovely, and Julia’s character was so selfish and awful.

Saaame! I think part of it was I didn’t clock that they were only TWENTY EIGHT and the movie made it seem like you needed to be married by then otherwise you’ll die alone. I am whatever about Julia but I do think she made the character tolerable to me.

And yes! Kimmy was a gem. Sure, she drove like a maniac (everyone lived! Maybe it’s the other drivers who are the problem…) and can’t carry a tune but she seemed to have motivation and naively looked for the best in people.

Who is Sara Ramirez ?
