Yes. If the audience is unaware, I believe <em>Real Genius</em> to be one of the finest films of all time.

Just in case that is of any interest to anyone. I read somewhere that Zach Braff created the soundtrack and then shot the movie. Just in case that is of any interest to anyone.

What I didn't see in that thread, and what I can't believe I didn't think of until just now is the Ur-WB show, the progenitor of that style, <em>Dawson's Creek</em>. If <em>Grey's Anatomy</em> is stealing from Braff, Braff needs to be paying royalties to Kevin Williamson.

Last week Thurs my cute new roommate and her friend wooed me in to watching Grey's Anatomy w/ promises of rotisserie chicken and Nestle's Cookies & Cream chocolate covered cones. Needless to say it worked. I mention this because whoever does that show studied at the school of Braff. The show's way over the top, but it has a few funny moments and makes you think it's powerful because it's set in a hospital and uses the tear-inducing sonic wavelengths of the Fray and their ilk. Also, on a somewhat related note I came across this discussion regarding the best last songs in movies a week or so back when looking up the last song of Fight Club. http://www.rollingstone.com/rockdaily/index.php/2006/08/17/list-of-the-day-best-last-songs-in-movies/ Good post title.
