You’ve Got Mail. Tom Hanks. Meg Ryan. If you have a vagina, you love this movie.
Guy meets girl in chatroom. Emails ensue. They begin to fall in love over the web, and he just so happens to be behind the big box bookstore that is about to put her charming independent bookstore out of business. They make it through the drama and end up together….happily ever after.
The movie needs a sequel. This just NEEDS to happen. So I am coming up with a storyline.
Kathleen Kelley (Meg Ryan) secretly becomes obsessed with e-readers. She loves reading on her Kindle, but keeps it a secret from Joe Fox (Tom Hanks). Her hobby becomes an obsessive, hoarding-like habit. She buys e-readers everywhere she goes. She secretly opens an e-reader sales shop in her old store front at The Shop Around the Corner. Her business thrives while Fox Books goes under due to the weakening economy and the popularity of ebooks. Joe Fox, how about a taste of your own medicine!? Fox Books is forced to close its chain of stores, and discovers Kathleen’s digital affair. Their relationship is on the rocks. The night that he moves onto his mini-yacht, they each get lonely and try to find other fish in the sea. This is when they discover that one can no longer meet the love of his or her life in a chatroom on the internet (unless, of course, the love of your life is a sweaty, bald, porn-addicted slob named Billybob).
