Not necessarily a big 'chick flick' fan, but she wrote some damn funny stuff.

Passed away at 71 from leukemia. Best known for When Harry Met Sally..., You've Got Mail, and Julie and Julia.

RIP Norepinephrine, you made my heart race.

RIP Nora.  When Harry Met Sally almost makes up for Bewitched.

Emokid is throwing slomo dove at my face, I guess that means he flipped me the bird

I think having your name be synonymous with a film ouevre is the ultimate success.

If you say, "I just watched a _________ movie!" people have a pretty good idea what you've seen.

A small sampling of names that work to fill in the above blank for me are (I may spell these wrong):

Frank Capra
Alfred Hitchcock
Martin Scorcese
Steven Spielberg
Quentin Tarrantino
Stephen Soderberg
Farrelly Brothers
Judd Apatow
Wes Anderson

and yes, Nora Ephron. Her name means chick flick with lots of snappy dialogue.

I definitely suffered through several of them, but liked most of them in spite of myself.

When Harry Met Sally is one of my all time fav movies, followed closely by Julie and Julia. You've Got Mail is one of the movies on my "Oh my god I hate that movie" list.

RIP Nora

When are we going to find a cure for stupid cancer already??

You all forgot silk wood which is an incredible movie! And my blue heaven which is incredible for entirely different reasons!

Julie and Julia is almost unwatchable. Meryl Streep and that bald dude are the only good part. That Julie woman is insufferable.

If you thought she was annoying in the movie, don't read the book.

Sort of off topic, I saw a thing on CBS Sunday Morning a couple weeks ago on Meryl Streep. I get the feeling she's always "on". Like she's never not acting. She's a character in her own life or something. It's weird. Great actress. Weird person.

I know what you mean, I sometimes feel like the roles where she's trying to act like "herself" are her most terrible. Looking at you Mamma Mia.

And you Deer Hunter.

I don't even really remember her in Deer Hunter. Was it bad? Seems like a pretty minor role compared to the male leads in that movie.

Yeah it was. I don't know, it's been awhile. I remember thinking she annoyed me though. Kinda "cock teasey". And I don't know if Meryl Streep is a cock tease, so maybe I shouldn't have said that.

I take it back, Meryl Streep, you fucking thesbian.

You aren't allowed to call women over the age of 60 a cock tease. Kids these days.

She's in her 20's in the movie, sheesh.

I see your point, though. Sorta like I can't jerk off to Anna Nicole Smith anymore cause I did when she was alive and now she's dead?

Ok, let's go with that. Next thing you know you are going to be throwing your trash in a 9/11 memorial pond.

I. Love CBS Sunday morning, it's my favorutetv show. I miss it a lot though. I tried to DVr it, not as good for some reason.



Also, Caps seems to have a masterbation theme going this week.
