When I was 17 or 18 I was eating lunch at this place called New York Subs (now closed) and I ordered my sandwich and sat down in front of this man (who I later learned was my parents' dentist, incidentally) who was by himself waiting on his food. When the waitress came by to bring him his order, I heard her ask him about the crossword puzzle he was doing. "Yeah, I find it's a lot easier to do the longer words first, then you can kind of work your way out from there. But sometimes I just can't solve the longer ones, and the shorter ones can help with those." There was something about this exchange that was…
the hushed, conspiratorial way that adam sandler raves about the pudding promotion seeming too good of a deal to be true is the same way i used to talk about moviepass (RIP) </3
the best autistic movie we have to date. astounds me every time, reminds me that I’m deserving of the love in my life, that it isn’t forged out of pity or by chance. I think about the meltdown in the bathroom a lot, I know what it feels like to lose grasp of your control and become alienated from your own mind. some days, this is my favourite romance movie ever. I hope to write a full thing on it someday.
wait wait wait... adam sandler... in a good movie??? and he can act??? THE AUDACITY!!!!!!!!!!

There's such an energy to this thing. At once bouncy and smooth and mechanical and confrontational. Car crashes give way to music, violent outbursts lead to sweeping walks in the gleaming blue city side streets, and frantic sprints down faceless hallways culminate in a kiss. Still has one of the biggest 'wow' moments in a movie, as Barry calmly rejects the chaos around him with a simple "I don't know" before Jon Brion's musical score overtakes the theater space, colliding with the blooming mirage of shapes, colors, and stars. The fact that this isn't even in my top 5 favorite Paul Thomas Anderson films should tell you a little bit about just how much I love the guy.
"I don't know if there is anything wrong because I don't know how other people are."
Listen. Fantastic Mr. Fox is my favorite film, right? But I say that because of how it hits me personally. That being said, Mr. Fox is my favorite, but this is the best film I've ever seen (does that make sense?) I can't believe it gets better every time. I have a million things to say about this movie and I'm gonna try to cover most of them in a video coming later this week.
