    A comfort watch and staple VJS on my house growing up. Sparked my forever love of Sandy B. I can quote this front to back and die laughing every single time.

    Joining Sean and Amanda on The Big Picture’s journey through The 25 Best Movies of the Century! So excited for this journey! 

    Second time viewing, the writing and acting is really good. I like how muted George Clooney is. Interesting this is Tilda Swinton’s Oscar win. The aftermath of Siriana, and he should’ve won for this one.

    Paul Giamatti being pure Paul Giamatti and I am HERE for it. Also Dominic Sessa - what a debut! This is a quiet movie about deeply sad people but when you laugh and cry all in one - it's a banger. Unsure if this is rewatchable, but the writing is so good I wouldn't mind seeing it again.

    I love that this is Demi Moore going absolutely bananas. I am grossed out but Fargeat wants us all to be. I was shocked the entire time.
