			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Quintessential romantic comedy of the ages: When Harry Met Sally. How many times have you seen that movie, seriously? If you are anything like me, you also don&#8217;t admit to your buddies that you&#8217;ve seen it a million times, think Billy Crystal is at the height of his hilarity, and that Meg Ryan has never been in anything better. You cry at the end, and hate yourself for it.</p>
<p>The great thing about this movie is that it embraces the truth about female-male friendship. Always, always there is something brewing under the surface in these relationships, but they are comforting because a person can meet their emotional needs with a member of the opposite sex under the guise of platonic love. The expectations that accompany romantic attachment do not have the opportunity to confuse and complicate everything. Harry loses his wife. Sally gets dumped. They meet up, oddly, serendipitously, again as they have intermittently throughout the years, to find each other in very similar situations. Billy Crystal starts talking about pecan pie in a ludicrous accent that never ceases to make me laugh, and throughout the entire thing a guy like me is trying to deny how absolutely endearing the whole story is.</p>
<p>If you can&#8217;t tell, I just caught this movie on <a href="http://www.tvbydirect.com/">DirectTV</a> the other night and all these old hopes and dreams filled me up. I remembered what I used to imagine I would have romantically in my future, and was deeply, deprecatingly saddened by its present state of affairs. Why can&#8217;t stuff happen the way it does in the movies of our generation? I suppose it’s worth noting that Harry gets a divorce before he finally finds happiness with Sally, but who wants to have to go through all that.</p>
<p>I think sometimes the real world is less real than the kind of fun and romance we see in movies like When Harry Met Sally. Showing things how we&#8217;d like them to be is like showing them how they would be if we didn&#8217;t get in our own ways. You know what the funny thing is? I just looked over at my <a href="http://www.dvdplanet.com/">dvd</a> collection and remembered I actually own the film!</p>
