Garden State and Closer are the only movies I can tolerate watching with her and it's mostly because they are a) good movies with b) great casts. She just irritates me and I don't think she's that talented. I see her as a poor man's Keira Knightley, whom I adore, and she just doesn't measure up.

Maybe it has something to do with the fact that if they are the same age, they might have more in common with each other, contemporaries and all that, and so there's a possibility they meet at some random party and fall into bed together...or something?

I don't know, but older totally works for me, and if our shower is full up of men in their mid-40s...all the better.

PS - Have we done a Johnny-to-Jason Kevin Bacon game thing? I feel like they should only be a degree or two apart, but I can't think of the common bond (my mind is not in the right place at the moment).
