“Uh, come here often?” Alec managed.

“To the elevator?” the man asked, eyebrows climbing upwards. The doors slid closed behind him, and they continued their painful ascent towards Alec’s floor. He seemed to notice that he was heading upwards and he cursed softly. 

Alec didn’t blame him. He wouldn’t want to spend any more time in an elevator with himself if he didn’t have to, either.

“Yeah, no. I’m sorry,” Alec said, slumping forward over the handle of his mailcart. Ridiculous. The most beautiful man he’d ever seen and Alec insinuated that he regularly spent time hanging out in elevators.

Her: Love In the Modern Age

"Chronicling reactions to Spike Jonze's Oscar-nominated film, Her. The documentary, directed by Lance Bangs, features stories and reflections from writers, musicians, actors and contemporary culture experts, including Olivia Wilde, James Murphy and Bret Easton Ellis, on the film Her, and their thoughts on love in the modern age."

Her is a beautiful film; I highly recommend it. initially the concept seems dismissive (what? he falls in love with his OS?), but it's actually a really interesting perspective coming from a new person who has never experienced anything, to describe and talk about what it's like to fall in love, and then deal with the complications of a relationship.

This companion piece from The Creator's Project is an interesting and thought-provoking extension of that.
