There’s no denying it: Meg Ryan is not what she used to be. Her seemingly vanished career – dormant for most of the decade – goes hand in hand with her surgically mauled face. Now we see someone who looks like they’re insanely happy about lying face down in a snow bank.

But throughout the ’90s, she was a genuine star, a lanky, strangely attractive person who stuffed obsession and sexual voraciousness behind a vulnerable face. But I’ve discovered another secret of her stardom: Meg Ryan Can See Through Time and Space.

Enjoy! Maybe.

    I would have liked to watch Meg Ryan through a window at some point. Now I’d rather . . not.

      I ended up watching five Meg Ryan movies in the course of making this, and by the end I have to say I was a little burnt out on Meg Ryan.

    You’re right. Nobody should be that vulnerable. It’s better to be like Robert De Niro.

    Loved this. It is rare to find something creative that so easily combines both the truly intelligent and the ridiculous. I actually understand your thesis!
