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.

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

brilliant. beautiful and funny and heartwrenching and silly and all around fantastic. the more i think about this movie the more i love it. tells an unconventional tale of self-confidence, self-sabotage, regret and jealousy, etc etc the ending was a bit silly but i can look past it lol. what a fantastic cast and fantastic production. they frame things throughout as if it were to look like a stage production only for that to be the eventual main plot point. one of my favorite scenes (if not films) of the year

My fav movie ever
No one even knows what it‘s really about and I think that’s cool. Time travel? Mental health? Death? How to suck a ****? Who’s to say. Not to be cringe, but I think it’s a movie to be felt, not understood. 10/10

at the end of the day its all about love. as most of vonnegut’s works seem to come to be in some form or fashion. theres always a love that drives the story, in slapstick its just more explicit stated- the basis of the story is loving and being loved despite all. and if that isnt nice, what is?

absolutely adore pulp and this is their first new album in over 20 years. spike island was the first single for this album and arguably my favorite still. great stuff here.
