[GOPisEvil]

7. We're no longer called Sonic Death Monkey.

We're on the verge of becoming Kathleen Turner Overdrive, but just for tonight, we are Barry Jive and his Uptown Five.

9. Do you have soul?

That all depends.

[SOteric]

10. I love that movie.

[GOPisEvil]

11. I lost it. I lost it all- faith, dignity... about 15 pounds.

[SOteric]

14. *smooch!*

I had nothing of any interest to add at this point, but I didn't want you to feel ignored and uncherished.

[GOPisEvil]

15. Oh, thanks. I am just posting random quotes from the movie.

[SOteric]

16. Yep. I got that random quote-thing.

I've got the flu, a splitting headache and I'm drawing a blank on all complexities.

I loved the movie. You rock.

[GOPisEvil]

18. I'm sorry you're not well.

I hope you get better soon!

[SOteric]

19. You're *such* a sweetie.

*Purr*

[GOPisEvil]

21. Ooohhh...

*sends virtual homemade chicken soup*

[ewagner]

12. Same here!

Also Gross Point Blank.........

"...a certain moral ambiguity...."

[SOteric]

13. Grosse Point Blank is in my all-time top 5 favourites.

Thought-provoking and edgy.

[BritishHuman]

24. I have it on video

Now if only my vcr was working...

[Susang]

17. I prefer the book

Much, much better. I felt much of the comedy didn't really translate to American. Nick Hornby rules!

A random factoid: Most of High Fidelity was filmed half a block from where I live. I spent an entire summer arguing with asshole PAs that didn't want to let me walk down my own street. I laugh my ass off every time I see the film, because my neighborhood looks so clean. Ah, the beauty of Hollywood.

[Dogmudgeon]

20. I ought to get the book

I thought the movie was pretty good.

Just another Dude who can actually bear to watch Chick Flicks.

[Susang]

22. Did you think High Fidelity was a chick flick?

I thought it was more of a "dick flick" since so many of the guys I know are obsessed by it. But I guess anything with John Cusack has to automatically be labeled a "chick flick" ever since Say Anything.

[SOteric]

23. I really didn't think of it as *only* a chick flick.

Like most excellent stories, it offers a bit of something to relate to that crosses gender, socio-economic and cultural barriers.

I've always marvelled at the few films I've seen where all the guys came out thinking they'd seen a dude-movie and all the chicks came out thinking they'd seen a chick flick. Hi-fidelity is like that.

30. Susang, I'm sorry that I have to disagree with you...

I prefered the movie. I found the writing of the book to be self-indulgent and undisciplined, while the movie was very tight. I also thought the movie was much better at getting across the point that the main character was essentially a solipsistic heel who really doesn't find any aesthetic pleasure in music (it just functions as markers and milestones in his self-absorbed life)

25. Man:I was looking to buy "I Just Called to Say I Love You" for my daughter

Jack Black: Is she in a coma?

I worked in a record store for 10 years. This movie is fucking great.
