Amanda Peet
I’m not buying Amanda Peet. I’m not sure why, but I don’t think I’m alone on this one. She’s had her chances and as a group it doesn’t seem like anyone is fully embracing her. This isn’t about talent, beauty, or personality – I’m just not buying her as a movie star. I don’t care how many magazines she’s in or how many movies she has the lead in. Not convinced. Amanda Peet, I’m sorry.* I tried.**
*Not really.
**I did kind of try.

Oh Jessi, and here I thought I was the only one!
I never liked Amanda. Then I saw her David Wain things she did, and I tried. Boy did I try, but it just wasn’t happening.
This may be too convoluted for a comment that perhaps no one will ever read, not even you, but whenever I just can’t deal with a certain “movie star”, such as Amanda Peet, I’m kinda afraid to tell people, because I know they’ll just not believe me and think I’m being some sort of snob. And it makes me wonder, am I kidding myself? No! Whatever it is that Amanda Peet and Kate Bosworth and Jessica Biel are doing, it’s not for me no matter how much Esquire tells me otherwise.

We’re several ones there, Jo. By the way, readers are probably kleintastically more numerous than they’ll never admit it.
Oh Jo : As for the circumlocutions, I suggest circumcision.
- Sorry, Miss K. : just a pitbull phase. -
- Jo : anyway think about it.

Jesus, Miss Klein, you’re a fuckin marvel! I see you’re a wonderful writer too. I read your blogity thing cause I got a puppydog crush on YOU when I saw you on Spade’s show do the piece about Hanks. Then others and you don’t miss a trick or beat. and davey is hard to upstage. so I knew you were a hilarious performer with a voice that’s great music but of course, the show’s not on now so I had totally forgotten you existed till tonight. my friend and I watched the Shatner roast then wanted to see more and saw you on the clips there at com cent.com. so I looked you up and found this. how gifted you are. (a shameless flirt is not a lie)
I have no idea if you read this shit but I wanted to send you this message in a bottle and see what happens. I’m sure you’re calling the cops or something thinking, “whoa, dude went to waaaaay too much trouble”, which put me over the creepy meter. don’t care. we likely have a lotta folks in common, may have met already, and I figure if nothing else, you’ll respect my last name.
I think you’re the funniest woman in america and if you get this and ask around you might learn I’m a guy that don’t know much about much but I know a lot about funny. (albeit, this letter is not proof of any such thing)
stay cool as you are, Jessie Klein, cuz that’s as cool as it gets.
