For the love of everything that is good and pure in this world, the next time there are multiple Lloyd Doblers around town, please alert us! Yesterday there were not 1, not 2, but approximately a zillion trench-coat wearing, boom-box-over-head-holding Lloyd Doblers right in this very city. Did you see them? USA Today reports that the self-dubbed "Mobler" hit up Penn Station, NYU, Union Square and landed in Times Square to meet up with a band called the Lloyd Dobler Effect, who sang "In Your Eyes."
This was for the 20th Anniversary release of Say Anything on Blu-Ray, even though Dobler himself famously declared that, "I don't want to sell anything, buy anything or process anything as a career." Whatever, we would like to see this happen every day (more videos here):

"Could someone explain this, please, starting with who is Lloyd Dobler?"
Or maybe just start with "What is Google?"

I guess this is what happens when unemployment is over 10%. People start having way too much free time.
Chances are these people are unemployable and don't count in the jobless numbers.
Oh for christ's sake, how jaded and grumpy ARE you exactly. You probably hate sno-cones and kittens because they're so over.
so goddamn corny.
remember the old days of nyc when we didn't have this stuff?
I don't understand the appeal of this movie. OK, I admit it, my dopey brother loved it. he's mr. hip. (that's why he has 3 cats)
who is lloyd dobler?, because He's lloyd dobler
and you would kill for the letter he wrote.
"I guess this is what happens when unemployment is over 10%. People start having way too much free time."
"Chances are these people are unemployable and don't count in the jobless numbers."
Predictable snark already anticipated by movie:
"I don't want to sell anything, buy anything, or process anything as a career. I don't want to sell anything bought or processed, or buy anything sold or processed, or process anything sold, bought, or processed, or repair anything sold, bought, or processed. You know, as a career, I don't want to do that."
that's why he wants to become a kickboxer.
before the MMA trend.
Sport of the future. That Lloyd sure knew.
"Hi, I'm a Gothamist commenter and I have no sense of humor and find the need to write something cynical about everything even if I don't know what I am commenting about."
You all bore me.
This is so uninteresting it's surprising it wasn't done by Improv Everywhere.
Dammit Gothamist, now that stupid song is stuck in my head.
You know you love it.
Ione Skye and her lisp have never been lovlier. Sigh...
Never saw the flick, but I generally find such rabid fans of any movie or TV show incredibly pathetic. This is dull and unimportant, not even remotely interesting or relevant. Of course, I knew immediately who posted this.
hahahaha
NEWS FLASH! Not everything on the internet is exciting and important! This story may not be interesting to you, but fans of the movie are likely to enjoy it. Is the small amount of joy they might take from this stunt too much for your cold, cold heart to bear?
Crap! I dressed up as Lloyd Dobyns.
Fee, Fie, Fo, Fum, I smell the money from the Bluray distributer giving a lot of aspiring actors a chance to act on Broadway and promote the re-release of this film.
I love it..
Any time a bunch of folks get together to celebrate something is fantastic.
As for some of these comments, I don't understand why people have to bag on everything.
Be positive..
