Oh my. Both were awful.

^I had to keep rewinding to make sure I wasn't hallucinating. Homicide, arson, robbery, rape. It wouldn’t hurt to say our prayers. Play it tough but play it safe. Let's be careful out there. I don't know what's worse, rhyming rape with safe or prayer with they-er.

Well, it looks like only a 15 minute car ride from the lake house to Riverside station. So maybe Keanu did get to sleep in a little.

Duh. It had to have been the apartment that wasn't built yet. Sandy left a forwarding address to that building, right?

It was written by the human, Ib Melchior.

I couldn't remember if I've seen any other movies with Vanessa Hudgens and saw that she was Mimi in RENT in 2010. I can't stop watching YT clips of her singing RENT songs even though I'm like:

She's off to a different town to help another time-mismatched couples. Speaking of Jack, whenever Sandra said Jack in this movie it reminded me of While You Were Sleeping, the far superior Sandra rom-com.

Wait, if she's out in the living room, who is barefoot and pregnant in the kitchen?

But I thought everything's made up and the points don't matter.

But at least in You've Got Mail, the couple uses IMs in addition to emails, so at least it's conceivable that the back-and-forth is an IM exchange. So it seems we're at the BEC phase with this movie. Here's mine. I thought Keanu's dinner was really sad here. He heats up a very thin soup and as he dumps his soup into the bowl he says, "come to papa." I've never seen someone get so excited about a bowl of thin broth before. It's not even chowder, FFS. And he doesn't eat the soup right there. He spins around and places his bowl on that table with the setting for one. I don't know, if I was living alone, I'd be eating that soup right out of the pan to avoid dirtying a dish and a placemat. And his dinner is just soup and a Bud. Is he on a liquid diet? Does he have bad teeth? I felt really bad for him that he didn't even have a crusty piece of bread.

You should unleash your full strength hatred of this movie. It would be fun for everyone to read.

I thought she did! At least a mild form of it. I think she had to hide it from everyone around her, because it wouldn't be possible for her to become a doctor if people found out.

Feel better soon, Jammer. I've seen this before and I can't wait for this group to get into it.

MapleLakelander - do you know where this is? I thought it was interesting that they seemed to be eating NY-style pizza instead of Chicago deep dish. It might be across the street from Luigi's?

Peeps look like they should taste better. They're just fun colored sugar, right?

I vote for whichever one you like better.

I've decided that the mailbox works on magic.

It's Schrodinger's dog.

That's neat. Too bad it was before Keanu co-founded his own motorcycle company. They're really cool looking bikes.

Where are my Girls watchers at? Did you notice that Keanu's little brother was Desi?

Like an insurance scam?

My head hurt trying to understand the timeline of The Lake House. I think the problem is that the time travel in this movie makes no sense if we think of time as a linear function, that is, going forward in a straight line, from X to Y. Unlike Starlee, I refuse to rewatch this movie and go through the mental anguish again. Therefore, after several rounds of mental gymnastics, I've decided to think of Keanu and Sandra as ants traveling on opposite sides of a Mobius strip.* On one side of the strip is the Keanu ant living in 2004 and the other side is the Sandra ant living in 2006. We, as the more sentient viewers, can see they are both traveling on the same loop, but Keanu and Sandra are just dumb ants who think they're traveling in a straight line in one direction. They're a couple of dumb insects who can't perceive the extra dimension (the loop). The mailbox is the tiny wormhole that opens a hole through the loop and the ants can pass notes to each other to the other side. They happen to be traveling at different speeds and sometimes if they look up, they can see the other ant. How do they get together in the end? One of the dumb ants loses its footing (I dunno, maybe he trips on the seam) and falls down to the other side and they share a gross kiss. *Or a Klein bottle?
