I swear I've seen this movie, but maybe I just lived it in my days as a sometimes sober Bo-Ho in Wicker Park, living in a basement 'unfinished' loft (which meant, I had to learn how to mix cement just to fill in a hole in the floor exposing bare dirt, and there was a manhole cover in my living room, yadda yadda. I might say more on this space later- brings back all sorts of memories), circa 1994. Maybe I read the book in Austin?
Shipped: High Fidelity:
Vintage record store owner Rob Gordon (John Cusack) has been dumped by his girlfriend, Laura (Iben Hjejle), because he hasn't changed since they met. In an attempt to figure out where things went wrong, Rob revisits his top five breakups of all time. As he seeks out his former lovers to find out why they dumped him, he continues his efforts to win Laura back. Based on the Nick Hornby novel, the film is a clever, funny tribute to the music scene.
