Meg Ryan

Oh my God, I straight-up forgot Small Son and Tom live on a houseboat-type thing. I know they're bereaved, but...iconic.

Talk to me when you’ve flown Spirit in the COVID era! - God, Tom was so young. It’s been a very bad, no-good, horrible, rotten, 24 hours, and I don’t know about you, but when I’m seething over the loss of my constitutional right to reproductive freedom, I like to watch an old rom-com. - I am begging Tom to stop confiding in Small Son about his personal life. - Small Son gets Tom to agree to meet “Annie from Baltimore” at the Empire State Building on Valentine’s Day, and I have to say, the pre-“stranger danger” era was wild. They met through a classic sandwich mix-up, as one does. - God, the early-’90s proto-Google Meg Ryan is using to figure out who “Sleepless in Seattle” is is inexplicably depressing me. - Meg Ryan writes a letter asking “Sleepless in Seattle” to meet her at the top of the Empire State Building on Valentine’s Day. - Small Son calls into a radio station asking the host to help him find his dad a new wife, and Meg Ryan overhears it/is charmed. So much hair! So full of life. - The literal first scene of this movie is in a graveyard.
