  i saw this with MY SISTER!!!!! in new york where she LIVES NOW!!!!!!!!! so i'm probably overrating this but i had a grand old time. robert pattinson loves to do a weird little voice and i love that for him. i was very concerned for zoco. my sister was consistently amused by toni collette's preoccupation with sauce. anyway if it makes anybody else feel better there have been a lot of studies and anecdotal evidence that suggests that most people when they die receive a massive burst of endorphins in their final moments that flood them with a feeling of intense peace and acceptance

  That Thing You Do! 1996

  ★★★★½ Rewatched 10 Mar 2025

  i just love this movie, man. certain line readings from it are burned into my brain. “you run—you RUN—offstage—smiling, smiling of course.” it has baby charlize and perfect sleepy-eyed crackly-voiced liv tyler! tom everett scott understands that guys who really love jazz look dumb when they listen to jazz and he bravely allows himself to look so dumb several times, for realism. the epilogue intertitle cards are exactly right. the direct-to-camera wink from lamar at the end is almost unforgivable, but hey.

  The Age of Innocence 1993

  ★★ Added

  it's not a great sign when the best part of the film adaptation of a book is when the voiceover narration literally just reads the book aloud to you

  me (thinking): i bet the audiobook of this movie would be really good
