The story of an all night underground rave in San Francisco. This movie perfectly encapsulates every dance club archetype in a glorious pre-9/11 world. There's the party promoter, the cool girl from out of town, the new guy learning to let loose, and British DJ John Digweed arriving at the end for the slow motion finale kiss. It's corny and I loved it. Roger Ebert's 2-star review begins: "Groove provides a cleaned-up, innocuous version of the rave scene, showing it as a life-affirming voyage of discovery instead of what it often is, a stop-and-shop ticket to troubles with Ecstasy."

i went in expecting "movie musical pseudo-biopic," but i got a fantastical deep dive into a downward spiral. several scenes that will rattle around in my head forever. it's not a sleeper, but i put it off for way too long because i didn't know what it really was; it sure ain't Chicago.

Ate this for the first time last night because it’s been rec’d a bunch of times on here and im in Boston for the week. Borderline psychedelic. This sandwich is insane. You’re all insane. I’m kinda craving another somehow.

You trusted someone with your money or your heart or both, and then that person surprises you by fucking you over. fuck!
This sucks a lot and might mess you up pretty bad and make you lose faith in people, but on the other side there is the potential for new found strength as you now have *experience*.
Trusting people is such an essential thing, so after getting scammed when you eventually find ways to trust people again, you’ll do it with a better sense of who to give it to and how much to give and when. That’s a powerful thing, and not easy to understand until you’ve been burned.
Keep trusting, keep getting burned, but hopefully a little less so each time.
