i love you damien chazelle but i do Not love three hour long movies. amazing soundtrack (truly sort of perfect), beautiful costumes, stromg story, and obviously margot robbie. but it’s so long and is sort of insane to the point there’s really no need to watch it twice.

there's nothing better for our current short and shorter attention spans than a good (very) long movie. yesterday I watched milos forman's Amadeus (1984) for the first time and truly cannot believe it took me this long. A spectacle from start to finish - which made the 3 hours absolutely fly by. maybe I'll upgrade to sergey bondarchuk's War and Peace next.

Oh good god it’s another perfect movie. Every single shot was so beautifully composed I couldn’t quite even keep up, I was still processing each one by the time it changed frames. I loved the character of Arthur sensitive and a little evil, complex and also just a man with a “divining rod.” Excellent comentary on capitalism and greed. Beautifully paced film, and just overall an absolute treasure. I need to see it sixteen more times

This movie did not get the recognition it deserved. Not only was the acting phenomenal, but the sequence of the giant 1920’s party was something that had to be witnessed in theaters. It’s chaotic in the best way and deals with amazing themes on the obscurities that take place in Hollywood.

not in a scientific sense. how does time perception change cultures, how do we pass down knowledge via generations, why does making someone wait signal power and why do we get pissed off when someone waits six days to respond to our text messages? eventually i'm going to write a paper on this but way too busy as of right now. highly recommend

i get it, sometimes a bitch gotta wallow. but i believe that the music you listen to shapes your outlook. like yeah if all you listen to is midwest emo My Mom Hates Me And I Hate Her Too, sad indie “i miss my ex and he’s the only one that could understand me“ tunes, then maybe you won’t be the most optimistic person alive.
pop some techno, eurodance, or really anything with strong beat and slightly positive lyrics (or no lyrics at all) into your headphones.

society places too much pressure on everyone having their own style (but only in approved marketable categories), being hot and funny and interesting all the time. kind of a lot of pressure if you ask me.
be yourself! even if you are lame as hell.
