"I had great date recently. We went for dinner. We ate with out hands (it was tacos). We told embarrassing stories. We had friends in common. There was trust and terror, triviality and perhaps even some torrid kissing. After. Up against the door of my apartment, a drink still in my hand, and hers. Maybe. At some point, while we were at my place, she asked what movies I liked and I began pulling out DVDs. Here&amp;amp;#8217;s what I showed her and here&amp;amp;#8217;s what I think they mean: Star Wars: Return of The Jedi &amp;amp;#8220;NERD!!!!! Oh, sorry, I didn&amp;amp;#8217;t mean to be rude. What I meant was &amp;amp;#8216;Who is this total nerd and what am I doing in his studio apartment&amp;amp;#8217;? &amp;amp;#8220; There&amp;amp;#8217;s no such thing as guy code, but there is such thing as dating code, and the first rule goes like this: Never reveal your geeky side, unless you are so hot&amp;amp;#8212;and we&amp;amp;#8217;re talking Megan Fox/Ryan Gosling hot&amp;amp;#8212;that it will seem somehow cute. But the Star Wars series also has some epic themes: destiny, salvation, love, good vs. evil, swordplay. Maybe she&amp;amp;#8217;ll notice your spirit of adventure and your canny awareness of &amp;#x27;80s pop culture along with your appreciation of the cuter things in life, like Ewoks. If she can grasp the positive aspects of the aforementioned, then maybe before long you won&amp;amp;#8217;t be doing the Hand Solo thing (masturbating). Overnight If you haven&amp;amp;#8217;t seen this movie you need to. It&amp;amp;#8217;s a cautionary tale of Midas proportions, involving an LA bartender whose best friends document his wooing by Hollywood, and his transformation into a total monster as his script The Boondock Saints goes from being a hot movie property to a total disaster. Anyone who ever was or plans to be a success at anything, nevermind movies, needs to see this movie. It is an Icarus metaphor captured in 90 minutes of documentary film. For a woman who notices this in my DVD collection, I assume she thinks the following: &amp;amp;#8220;John not only has great taste in movies, but he collects rare documentaries distributed by tiny, socially conscious outfits like ThinkFilm. (They released Born Into Brothels.) They have a conscience. John must really understand the ins and outs of Hollywood, but moreover, he must be very aware of the pratfalls of success and really care about his friends. John would never become like the d*bag in this movie. He&amp;amp;#8217;s a good guy.&amp;amp;#8221; Or something. Kill Bill Part 1 and Part 2. &amp;amp;#8220;John likes Ninjas. A lot&amp;amp;#8221; The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford &amp;amp;#8220;John likes really beautiful, unnoticed, or underrated art films. He doesn&amp;amp;#8217;t discriminate when there are huge stars, like Brad Pitt, involved. He judges movies the way he probably judges people, by their merits. &amp;amp;#8220;This movie also really showcases John&amp;amp;#8217;s understanding of the outlaw existence. I bet he would be really good at robbing banks and trains, and yet at the same time polite and cavalier, like Jesse James. But John would never try to twist off the ear of a small boy. &amp;amp;#8220;Not unless he really deserved it.&amp;amp;#8221; What do your favorite movies say about you? Or what do you hope they say?
