me, watching this & crying about moving back to college that's only 2 hours away from my hometown: (sighs dramatically) my life is just as hard as emigrating from ireland to brooklyn by boat in 1951

Coming from someone rather certain of his position on the "straight side" of the sexual orientation spectrum: I would fuck the shit out of Emory Cohen. Reminds me of a young Marlon Brando.
Edit: nah, I'm definitely pansexual.

Second viewing, no change, and now I understand why I find it so underwhelming. In theory, it's about Eilis being torn between her original home and her adopted home, but conveying that without the benefit of the novel's interior monologue is beyond Hornby's or Crowley's abilities—and even beyond Ronan's, ultimately.

here’s the thing: tony was obviously the better choice but the guy who plays him is a very bad actor and we all looked past it because he’s hot now. sorry bout it! real fans remember when he played debra messing’s heinous son leo on nbc smash which absolutely ruined his career from the start because you can’t just unsee a bowl cut that severe. please google it i sometimes see him in the corner of my room when i have sleep paralysis

it's okay to go and you must go if you feel this way. Even though you're gonna let some people down. It's okay to be selfish sometimes. You have to do it for yourself, cause it's your life and you have to forget to live it to other people and live it to your own.

This film got me through moving to uni, the soundtrack gets me through life. Colm Tóibín, thank you for your service.
