This movie came to me at an important point in my life, and taught me to just keep making and doing, even in the wake of absurdity. Parker Posey is hilarious and the script is perfect.
“And he looked in my eyes and he said ’I don't understand you.’ Isn't that amazing, that he saw how complex I am?”
“Maybe he just didn't understand you.”
“What do you mean?”
“You said he didn't understand English very well. Maybe he just... didn't understand you.”

Not even that crazy of a movie but I’m gonna contradict that by saying it may have changed my life. I truly don’t know why but i left this movie a different person. don’t really give a shit about Ben stillers character and I don’t think the movie really does either. maybe it’s when Winona gets in the fight and says “play a show a night, play 3 shows a night” idk. I wasn’t there for the 90s but this feels like a time capsule like Troy is the years 1991-1997 in human form. It’s been 24 hours since I saw this but it feels like it has clicked something in my brain. maybe it’s when Winona says “i was really gonna be something by the age of 23” 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 garofolo’s characters but idgaf

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.

Been waiting for this one to drop for forever! Thought it wouldn’t meet my expectations like the last few movies i really wanted to like but this definitely surpassed it. My favorite part is that the main character *spoiler alert* got a happy ending! *spoiler alert end*
Charming movie about a struggling artist trying to not get deported while putting up with stereotypical, rich, white artists in order to achieve their dream. Has small moments of absurdity but nothing too crazy plus the performances are all cool. short and sweet and funny!

maximalist video game about consumer culture and how much time we spend on our screens. takes 20-30+ minutes to complete but it’s quite satisfying!
