I do love this movie even if it would now be considered a severe case of catfishing.

Yeah, there’s definitely some ~problematic~ parts that wouldn’t fly today. But I still like it!

I still think it's romantic! I told a guy I met online about how I loved this movie, and he didn't get that I was trying to wink wink about how it reminded me of our weird internet relationship. He still doesn't. We've even met IRL and he still doesn't get it IDEK why I still talk to him.

ETA: He's at a concert so I texted him telling him to have fun and that I was gonna watch you've got mail and he said it's garbage so yep. Yeeeep.

I love this cute dumb movie but I always think about how like 10 years later Fox Books would have been put out of business by Amazon.

And how Meg Ryan would’ve secretly loved it, while pretending to be sad for Tom Hanks.

Can I use telearty on a regular tv because I have to write a paper on my laptop!

[prettymorning27]

I'm sorry I didn't respond sooner :( but the answer is no. They apparently have a mobile app now but from jaded_sapphire's reports, it's very buggy.
