there is actually no way i’m the only person to have this answer. watching the interstellar imax re-release a decade after i first watched it on the tiny tv my parents had in the living room had me feeling things i hadn’t felt since that initial watch as a weird little space-obsessed 8 (?) year old.
A bit of a basic answer, but seeing this and laughing and crying at the same time as everyone else in the room while the music swelled and the colors flashed at my childhood AMC was one of the best moviegoing experiences I’ve ever had! Wish i could relive that first time!!
*UNLESS it is released to theaters again that movie was made to be seen on a large screen with giant speakers and watching it at home on the couch is a gigantic disservice
pretty sick is an ultra-underrated band. so good. i have been held in a chokehold by ms. sickysab since 2020 when i discovered deep divine (and thought this band was some niche indie rock group from the 90s) makes me sick makes me smile has zero skips. i need them to go on another tour and drop some new music immediately, it is so serious.
watching this movie for the first time on my phone in the middle of the night in middle school CHANGED me permanently. i have spent so much time since then seeking out something that makes me feel as i did when i first finished it ……. nothing does and maybe thats okay
i don’t know if i really feel older yet, but i have been sooo nostalgic lately and it is defo making me feel kindaaa old. i have been thinking a lot about how life overall used to be more magical around holidays and stuff, like christmas and new school years starting. it loses it sparkle in some ways, and that’s not to say i don ’t have a great time as an adult… but i think people end up spending a lot of their lives seeking that same sparkle, often eventually living vicariously through their children just to see it die again when their children grow older. it is so bittersweet, and i don’t know if i look forward to my childhood becoming so distant?
