Not even that crazy of a movie but Iām gonna contradict that by saying it may have changed my life. I truly donāt know why but i left this movie a different person. donāt really give a shit about Ben stillers character and I donāt think the movie really does either. maybe itās when Winona gets in the fight and says āplay a show a night, play 3 shows a nightā idk. I wasnāt there for the 90s but this feels like a time capsule like Troy is the years 1991-1997 in human form. Itās been 24 hours since I saw this but it feels like it has clicked something in my brain. maybe itās when Winona says āi was really gonna be something by the age of 23ā and then my theater laughed. one of those movies I want to live in (Houston in 1994). Had to get this off my chest this movie despite having a standard enough plot has been rattling through my brain, truly a character movie wish they spent more time with zahn and garofoloās characters but idgaf

and i feel like rizzo ratzo rico is the polar opposite, jaded reality of what it feels like in the real world. his pain came through so strong and hit me like a bunch of swords to the soul.
thereās so much more to it than just that but thatās all for now.

one of my favorite movies. at 16 years old, watching it feels nostalgic in itself, but the picture it paints of the era in which it takes place is also nostalgic.
itās a more real, defined, engulfing world than any iāve ever experienced through film, and even though i know what happens, i feel the things the characters feel as they feel them. when vr allows us to live in a movie, theme park ride style, āAdventureland Summerā will be my first stop. this thing is dripping with nostalgic heartache to the tunes of the replacements and lou reed, every performance is great / super funny / heartbreaking in itās own way.
as iām typing this, i think i believe this is the best film ever made? that canāt be true, probably, but idk watch it youāll love it and feel a lot.

a very very recent watch (first watch was within the past year) to be considered one that defined a part of myself, but it did, in a sense, by making me feel seen through an aspect of myself i didnt often see represented. by giving my feelings and thoughts about things a stage, backed with dumb humor and strangely profound moments for how dumb said humor could be at times. big love to kevin smith for this one. really grateful to have seen this in theaters for the second time ever a few nights ago.

Itās what my basket is for, if it breaks then Iāll just die itās not that serious. I donāt even have that many eggs to begin with. I grew up in a single-egg-basket-household, who are these people with multiple egg baskets, do they walk among us?

I feel like Iāve picked up so much good music by just instantly downloading an opening actās album right after their set. Just saw Wishy at babyās all right last night and they had a band called Plastic open up, tight band & tight name, Iām sold. I feel like too many people skip the opener and I get it it can get tiring but I already know Iām gonna like the headliner lemme get a nice little surprise. this has GOT to be my last music rec for a little bitā¦
