...foreign products, U.S. unemployment goes up. If they buy products made in America, our unemployment goes down. It's human nature to blame the President for our mistakes, but if we really cared about U.S. workers, we would support them by buying U.S.-made products. Cleve Mark McVane Jr. Pleasant Hill...

...shoe-gazing white-boy rock bands from England, melancholy isn't a pose so much as a pleasant vacation from despondency. That said, this brooding, expansive, 6-min. end-of-summer anthem has a chorus with a hint of optimism--"Light up, light up, as if you have a choice/Even if you cannot hear my voice/I'll be right beside you dear"--as well as the requisite lyric about long goodbyes and a soaring vocal by singer Gary Lightbody.

...treatment and the founder of Lacuna, agrees to perform the operation on Joel as well. The centerpiece of the movie begins as Joel slowly realizes that, though his final memories of the relationship are tough to handle, he wants to remember at least some of the more pleasant aspects.
