Which leads to my recent viewing of Happy Accidents. This movie is an eight-year-old independent film starring D'Onofrio and Marisa Tomei (who I also find intriguing and beautiful). Sam (D'Onofrio) and Ruby (Tomei) meet at the park and begin a whirlwind romance. Everything seems perfect until Sam starts displaying some strange quirks. He's especially afraid of small dogs. Why? They don't have them where he comes from. Which is where? Dubuque. Iowa. Except it turns out Sam doesn't mean "our" Dubuque. Sam believes he is from Dubuque in the year 2470. Ruby thinks Sam is just another in a long line of losers she's dated and tried to fix. But there's something about Sam that keeps her hanging in there.
This is a sweet little movie with some twists to it, including a pre-Dead Zone cameo from Anthony Michael Hall -- they refer to him as "that geeky kid" from Sixteen Candles. It's a perfect movie for a rainy afternoon. It's worth watching, if for nothing other than getting to look at D'Onofrio and Tomei for an hour and 50 minutes.

I don't mind VDO
But I'm the opposite I could take or leave the Goren episodes on CI -I much more of a Logan Lover - different strokes for different folks I guess.
Your attraction isn't irrational, he's an incredibly attractive alpha male, and I can't take my eyes off him no matter his size.
It's nice to know someone else thinks so. Most of the time people look at me like I'm nuts when I talk about him. I just don't go in for the pretty boys like Brad Pitt.
We saw that movie a few years back. I like any kind of scifi twist, naturally. Even on a sappy movie.
