In the year 1969 computers at Standford and UCLA, colleges in the United States connected to the internet for the first time. This movie came out thirty years later, which is twenty-five years earlier than when this blog was written. Basically, guys, the internet is really, really old. You know who else is really, really old? Tom Hanks. Don’t let the jovial nature of that photo fool you, Tom Hanks is an absolute a**hole in this film. I guess in a roundabout way that’s kind of cool, I think? Because how often does Tom Hanks ever play an a**hole? Okay, think about it, right. You meet a woman in a chatroom, talk to her while you’re in a relationship, stalk her, lie to her about who you are, run her out of her business, which is also the last vestige of her late mother, might I add. How is this guy not being dragged through the mud by the end of this film. Meg Ryan even fell in love with him! I don’t know, I’m not exactly a love guru so don’t take my word for it, but I think that’s some bullshit. Tom Hanks is a nice guy, though. I guess. Stay away from chatrooms, kids.
