Here’s a summary of the text with the requested annotations:
The author, Miles Mathis, offers a review and critique of the 1998 film You’ve Got Mail, which he was compelled to watch despite his reservations. He finds both lead actors, Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan, to have aged poorly and exhibit a lack of chemistry, which he attributes in part to their perceived sexual orientations. Mathis critiques Hanks’ physical appearance and demeanor during the filming of mail, noting oddities like red nailbeds. He also scrutinizes Ryan’s transformation over the years, comparing her negatively to Ellen Degeneres and criticizing her roles in When Harry met Sally, mail, and Kate and Leopold.
Mathis argues that You’ve Got Mail is essentially a thinly veiled advertisement for AOL, Starbucks, and Barnes & Noble, with the plot constructed around these brands. He criticizes the film’s message that meeting people online is preferable to face-to-face interaction and condemns it as “corporate filmmaking at its worst.” He connects the actors’ perceived “weird aging” to a broader concept of the New World Order imprinting itself on the human body. The author also expresses disgust at a scene where Ryan confronts Hanks in a coffee shop, believing it aims to elicit sympathy for corporate figures.
The review concludes with Mathis’s strong disapproval of Hollywood’s perceived reliance on gay actors for straight roles, arguing it leads to “cringe-inducing scenes” and negatively influences heterosexual relationships. He asserts that this trend is part of a deliberate effort to de-gender and mis-gender society for profit, aiming to destroy heterosexual relationships. Mathis advises readers to avoid new movies, be selective about old ones, and dismiss all films by Nora Ephron due to their perceived inherent flaws.
