If you can identify, you'll love it.

At coffee break this morning, one of my co-workers said that this weekend she saw the worst movie she's ever seen, and she actually walked out. I said I'd seen one of the best movies *ever* this weekend, and I wanted to go see it again in the theater. We were both talking about High Fidelity. She felt it was slow, she didn't care about the characters, and she totally couldn't relate. John Cusack's character reminded me of several college boyfriends, the references to obscure alternative bands from the 80s totally hit home with me, and I laughed through the entire movie. This is a movie for 30-something geeks, who still have record collections, and who truly believe that "what you like is more important than what you're like". Being in love with John Cusack doesn't hurt, either.
