A tipster tells us that he "just ran across the original, official You've Got Mail website" (how does this happen?), and it's still functional, offering up a time capsule into website design circa 1998. We just spent ten minutes going down the rabbit hole, a journey that begins here. For the full experience, you are going to want to click on the "here" where it reads: "if you have Flash click the logo or here to enter the site." Definitely do not skip the intro, it really sets the tone.

NYC As Seen On TV: Meg Ryan Hits Real Estate Gold, Every Time
We've been looking at how Hollywood has recreated our city for movie and television productions throughout the years. Last time we looked at apartments in television shows throughout the years, and today we start our detailed look at New York apartments as presented in film. If you've ever seen a Meg Ryan movie, you know her characters almost always live in picturesque places—click through for a look at some of her finest fictional New York real estate.
The Cinecultist's Weekly Movie Picks: Don't Answer That Phone Edition
With the Oscar nominations announced this week, you can expect much of the box office traffic to be people trying to cross films off of their list that they are just now realizing are "important." However, the new releases keep a coming and the New York repertory houses are programming away, so there's loads of good flicks to check out this weekend.

Against Our Will Will Gothamist See This
Gothamist was sick of the trailers of the new Meg Ryan film, Against the Ropes, the moment we first saw them, oh, sometime last summer. Now, after the release has been pushed back about five times in the past year, which confirmed it was a stinker, we get to be ill seeing a slouchy Meg shuffle around in tight clothes and her ironed hair. But the first sentence from an advance review from Variety almost makes it worth it:

Think of "Against the Ropes""Against The Ropes" as a "Rocky" story -- if, that is, the vintage is somewhere between "Rocky IV" and "V," and the action centered around the Burgess Meredith character as played by Meg Ryan wearing "Barbarella" outfits.Against the Ropes opens this Friday.
Boring Celebrity Interviews
When you've read the eighteenth interview with Renee Zellweger and realized you've learned nothing about her, except that she loves her dog, you know that celebrity interviews are a smokescreen.

The New Musical Theater Season
The bitchiest NY theater critic in town, Michael Riedel at the Post, asks a panel of "four cranky New York drama critics" (no word if Riedel is one of them) what they are dreading this new theater season. Some priceless excerpts:
Nora Ephron
to feel she's a kindred spirit of sorts. But the jury is still out because of Ephron's increasingly treacly efforts (When Harry Met Sally to You've Got Mail - you do the math)...if there's another Meg Ryan-Tom Hanks pairing in the future, all bets are off.
60 Thom bombs
According to the Times, 60 Thom is stirring up beef with its neighbors on Thompson Street between Spring and Broome. I live one block up, and often pass by while various black limos are disgourging the rich and famous (and their scurrying assistants) in front of the hotel. The neighbors are saying that the hotel is destroying the quality of life in the neighborhood, which, defying all the laws of physics, had until now defied the gentrification and putrification that has affected the rest of SoHo. All the usual complaints are alleged- noise, rats, construction violations. I'd like to add a few of my own:
Water, water, everywhere
This comes as no new news: you should drink more water, but the Daily News treats it as so. Yahoo!Health says similarly. Make-up artist Sue Devitt once mentioned that when working on Meg Ryan's make-up, she could feel the "hydration" in Meg Ryan's skin. A good thing, one guesses.
