    1.) my ideal wardrobe is depicted in this movie. Take notes future lovers. 

    2.) the shot of their hands on the water bed 

    3.) life on mars playing. Running next to bumper to bumper cars. drivers angry re gas shortage. The exhaust and the brown chemical smell is palpable. This is the acid rain 70s I have heard of and the every edging “on brink of the end of the world” LA i know. 

    4.) this movie has many smells and many shocking cameos

    5.) the agent gives one of the best performances i have ever seen holy fuck
