I like Meg Ryan movies. They're cute and entertaining. I like them much in the same way I like Hugh Grant movies where he plays the archetypal aloof/clumsy British guy. I pulled up Ms. Ryan's wikipedia page to look over her list of works, and I think my favorite one is You've Got Mail. I saw it again recently - it's so outdated now with the whole AOL email thing - but still fun to watch. Does anyone out there still use AOL?Anyway, according to the Globe, Meg Ryan spends her summers in Martha's Vineyard.
Considering she summers on Martha's Vineyard, it wasn't too difficult for Meg Ryan to make it to this weekend's Nantucket Film Festival, where she was honored for her long and illustrious oeuvre.
Between chats, Meg Ryan stopped into American Seasons to sample some of chef Michael LaScola's cuisine.
FYI, for those that forgot, Meg Ryan is in "The Women" which filmed in Boston last year (here).

Anonymous Said,
Have you heard of Dr. Jill Bolte Taylor who wrote the current bestseller "My Stroke of Insight"? Taylor was a Harvard trained brain scientist who suffered a massive stroke. I don't think we'll ever hear a story like this - Taylor understands how the brain functions and she was able to observe her mind deteriorating. She writes about the euphoric nirvana and a sense of complete peace and well-being she discovered in her stroke and she talks about this in her incredible (don't miss it) talk on TED.com. In the book, Taylor explains how to 'step to the right of their left brain' to uncover a deep internal peace. Meg Ryan was in the audience when Dr. Taylor gave her speech at TED... hey, maybe she'll do the movie and we'll all be able to "have what she's having" to reprise that line from When Harry Met Sally : ) Sign me up!
