Dear Phoebe,Enough is enough. You have done only one movie since 1994. One movie doesn’t cut it.
As one of your ticket-buying friends, I would like to see you a little more often. Every few months I check IMDB in the vain hope that I will see a new movie listed, but no, nothing.
I figured you stopped acting because you wanted to spend more time with your kids, but let’s face it; they’re getting more work than you these days. They both appeared last year in The Squid and the Whale. Kevin is still out there working too, so why not you?
If that weren’t bad enough, now I find out you are spending your days running a fashion boutique in New York. Obviously working is still a part of your life, so why not do a movie? I don’t care if it is a silly Princess Caraboo farce or an indie drama like The Anniversary Party — whatever you want. I’ll watch, and I guarantee a lot of my friends will go too. You don’t have to move to Hollywood or get too deep in the business, but one film every three or four years wouldn’t kill you would it?
Please come back. Your friends miss you.

In fact, I am witholding my final judgement on The New Cars because of our lil Phoebe. If they play Moving In Stereo, and I still get a hard-on… I’m in.
Seriously… I doubt it will be a problem.

[...] One – Phoebe Cates is ranked 55 What in the hell? Phoebe Cates should be in the top twenty or even the top ten. Why? Let’s look at the facts. Her big scene in Fast Times at Ridgemont High is more memorable than the entire careers of some of the people they have ranked higher. She was also in Gremlins, Shag, Date with an Angel, Private School for Girls and Paradise. As a teenage boy, I watched them all . . . alone. Do you remember how big a mini-series Lace was? How about Phoebe’s best line ever? Which one of you bitches is my mother? [...]
