Bottoms 2023
so actually when you want to make a campy, absurd comedy ~ you still need to write a good screenplay!! and have good direction!! and it needs to be funny!!! and it can’t have nine thousand different tones!! and it needs to have stakes!! and you need to be invested in the characters!!!
ayo i still love you
