    When the first notes of “Heaven” began to play my body LEVITATED in that imax.

    If I could just go on seeing this every few months in a theatre I think my life would be pretty great.

    "The stars are perfect…not us. Not us! We are here to ruin ourselves and to break our hearts and love the wrong people and DIE."

    Absolutely giddy, kicking my feet watching this in a theatre with friends. Howling from start to finish. We were crying and wheezing in anticipation of the best line — “I’m confused!” That’s amore, baby!

    “Do you believe in luck?”
    “I used to. It didn't work out.”

Robert Pattinson is what makes this movie, every movie should have two of him.

    Could never hate a Ken Watanabe flick. The battle scene at the end goes hard. Totally emotionally invested, but they blew the ending by not showing Cruise hugging that child again. I feel cheated. Protect those babies. I dunno man, kinda rocked!
