When I have nothing else to talk about...

I have been racking my brain on what to write the last two days. Haven't been able to find a good article to talk about, nor do I believe my daily life is interesting enough to rant with, so I've decided to comment on a fabulous scene involving Jon Favreau, his cordless phone, and someone else's answering machine.

"Hi! This is Nikki, leave a message!"

Those words make me cringe. I was watching Swingers again the other night. I think many would agree that this particular scene is one of the most painful to watch in cinematic history.

"Hi! This is Nikki, leave a message!"

Good lord... I've seen the movie a good 165 times, and every time Mikey sits on the futon and pulls out Nikki's (played by the lovely Brooke Langton) phone number, I think to myself "Maybe he won't do it this time...." And I'm being serious. I honestly hope every time I watch this that he won't pick up the phone. And at times, I've changed the channel so I didn't have to watch. It's a lot like a scary movie, and all you want to do is pull the covers over your head. It Hurts SO MUCH TO WATCH.

"Hi! This is Nikki, leave a message!"

Maybe I hope he won't do it because even I haven't gone to the lengths Mikey went to in this dialog with a mini tape. He's absolutely pathetic, and I think it scares me. Really and truly... not that I've gone to those lengths, but maybe I've been to a fraction of them. I'm not sure.

"Hi! This is Nikki, leave a message!"

And just as he breaks up with the girl he never went out with...

"Mike... Don't ever call me again."

Ouch.
