    Do you feel that?
    That visceral sensation inside of you?
    Within you lies something so beautiful.
    It so desperately wants to escape.
    Let it out! 
    Unleash it all! 
    Don’t be afraid! 
    It’s inside all of us.
    It’s as real as ever. 
    Do you realize what is happening?
    That is a feeling. 
    That is you, understanding.
    Don’t worry about what it means. 
    All that matters is that you are feeling it.
    And, that it is coming from you.

    Rest in peace, David Lynch.

    I think the reason I adore this movie is how its portrayal of love seems so distant from the climate of today. I think in the age of social media, and overall modern technology, the kind of intimacy put to screen here seems like nothing but fantasy. As the phrase goes, “This only happens in the movies.” Perhaps, that is true, but I choose to be hopeful, if overly optimistic, that something more exists. I think what the modern romantic…

    First movie of March after only watching two in February; am i washed? 

    I saw this movie years ago but i kept seeing clips of it online. Does it take some creative liberties in its portrayal of real-life events? Of course! That being said, I don’t think this fact takes away from the film in any truly meaningful way. This movie elicited strong emotional from me, and it made me believe in the story of these characters. The movies make…

    Maybe I've seen too many movies, you know, love at first sight.

    A past version of myself would have been giddy with joy to have the opportunity to see the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s first entry into the solo Spider-Man feature film series. The me of today still finds this film enjoyable. It has some great moments. I do adore Holland’s portrayal of the iconic character. Many people dislike the involvement of Robert Downey Jr.’s Tony Stark/Iron-Man, but I think he really works in this film. The film as a whole just lacks…

    A film that never stays in one place for too long. Gerwig’s character moves from place to place as Baumbach moves from scene to scene, creating a sense of unease that also doubles as a true reflection of a 20-something trying to find their way in life. You never really know what’s coming or how to respond; you just kinda find a way. And through this, you eventually find your way. I found this to be quite endearing; the awkwardness…
