    Major Spoilers Question of the Day: Rom-Com Edition

    I admit it: I’m a sucker for a rom-com, if I’m in the right mood.  I’ve seen Sandra Bullock breezily commit identity theft, Katherine Heigl tortured with a remote-controlled marital aide, even the spectacle of Meg Ryan getting hit by a bus after choosing to fall in love with the archangel Nick Cage.  You could even make the argument that ‘Love, Simon’ is a rom-com where he falls in love with Kid Flash (and I have), leading to today’s Zooey Deschanel’s entire career query…

    The MS-QOTD (pronounced, as always, “misquoted”) digs ‘500 Days of Summer’, but has to go with ‘High Fidelity’, where a terrible guy inexplicably gets an array of amazing women to kiss him amd then suddenly I remember the existence of ‘say anything…’, asking: What’s your favorite rom-com or rom-com adjacent story?

    Once upon a time, there was a young nerd from the Midwest, who loved Matter-Eater Lad and the McKenzie Brothers... If pop culture were a maze, Matthew would be the Minotaur at its center. Were it a mall, he'd be the Food Court. Were it a parking lot, he’d be the distant Cart Corral where the weird kids gather to smoke, but that’s not important right now... Matthew enjoys body surfing (so long as the bodies are fresh), writing in the third person, and dark-eyed women. Amongst his weaponry are such diverse elements as: Fear! Surprise! Ruthless efficiency! An almost fanatical devotion to pop culture! And a nice red uniform.

      Yeesh. Looking at what I’ve rated 5-stars on my Netflix account, nothing comes close to this category. Sliding down to 4-stars, the closest best I’ve got for you is Chasing Amy.
