Letterboxd — Your life in film

me, to the next ant i see in my kitchen: tell paul rudd i'm a big fan

“if they ever thought of me, i’d rather they think of me as being ok”

whatever i was expecting, it wasn’t this: a crushing, singular vision. completely captivating and even cathartic. an intimate look at the way people in our lives come and go, but in the end we only have ourselves and whatever keeps us going

the collective sigh of everyone in my theater when it ended and we’re all trying to inhale our tears

what was working so well as a comedy became dark and realistic FAST, but for the most part i think the genre shift is effective. my rating for this is probably gonna go up or down with some reflection, only time will tell

also, the best line in the movie, in reference to reservoir dogs: “it’s probably my least favorite tarantino film”

“everything that i thought was one way turns out to be another”

the coens really can squeeze metaphor into anything huh

so ambiguously intimate that it’s almost claustrophobic. there’s poetry to be found in every frame here but it was too vague for my taste, at least for the first watch

so i put my HANDS UP THEY'RE PLAYIN MY SONG AND THE BUTTERFLIES FLY AWAY

"well... it must have been one hell of a night we're about to have"

...oh

"how am i doing?"
"still here"
"good. i like being here"

...OH?

"i guess this is it, no?"
"yeah... um, i really..... i mean, you know..."
"yeah, i know. me too"

...oh?

this is so sad alexa play crazy car by the naked brothers band

if this movie had a face i would punch it
