can’t believe they cut the pudge monologue. I have that shit memorized bro I was ready to start belting out “I can’t feed pudge tuna I’d be an abomination” in the god damn theatre

shoutout to my high school senior year english teacher for telling me she personally identifies with Margot Tenenbaum and recommending this film. in return I told her I personally identified with ladybird and we bonded over identifying with mentally ill girlies in film & a year after I graduated she sent me a care packaged addressed to ladybird and signed off on it as M.T. 😭 I will forever love you for that Mrs. Moore

I would’ve eaten this shit up as a teenager. Also pondering what this film would be if it was directed by Wes Anderson instead

I love movies where they’re barn animals. Fuck with that shit heavy

Really cool foundation of the 2025 Netflix series, and also they perfectly cast Will Forte to play Jack in that oh my god

this movie was a fever dream from start to finish I love you Director Ben Stiller

I need more movies that look like this. And if you don’t know what I mean I mean like. It looks like cat in the hat kind of??? I guess idk I like it

writers of this movie really said “what if 2005 Pete Wentz was also into satanism” as 2005 Pete Wentz was already into luring teenage girls

I’m insufferable in the way I recited too many lines in this film that I hear on a daily basis at work 🤩

I’m so glad I watched this movie with my childhood best friend who I first played Minecraft with because you would’ve thought we’ve never laughed at anything in our fucking lives the way we laughed at this fucking movie

this documentary is still so fantastic and it still makes me so heartbroken that Tim isn’t with us anymore. what a beautiful creative soul that forever changed my life and the lives of millions of others ❤️

best part of this movie is when Henry turned to me and yelled “her courage cured his autism!!!”

funniest part was when Grace was talking about something she was excited about in the movie and then sat on the remote and accidentally exited the Netflix app and she screamed “it’s really cool because they- OH GOD”

What if the military was a movie

I cannot say it enough: if your movie is longer than 90 minutes, I do not care 
Also my edible kicked in during the last 40 minutes of the movie and now I’m dizzy and forgot I live in LA for a minute

Somebody is in the same key as No Air by Jordin Sparks

Just thinking about how every character in the book gets their character arcs expanded upon in a way that is so beautiful and unexpected for a YA adaptation. Also love u forever John Green I’m sorry everybody hates the way you write women because I love Alaska now and forever ❤️

this film had a budget of fucking $13 million and Eddie Murphy gets tossed out of a god damn window within the first twenty minutes. cinema at its finest.

at one point during this watch Grace played the “gooooood morrrniiing” song clip from The Lorax and I laughed so hard I almost cried.

to all my friends who know me as someone unable to handle gore and horror films who told me I would be able to handle this movie: fuck you lmao
anyways cinematography was cool from what i saw but alas i had my eyes closed for 90% of it

let’s be real 13 year old me wrote better more heart wrenching fanfic than this. as a lesbian I do not claim this

Unfortunately my biggest flaw in life is every time I watch a Timothee Chalamet movie is that I can’t see him as anybody else but Timothee Chalamet

I know every single letterboxd review I post is silly and goofy for the most part but guys I have to lock in for this because oh my god.

I grew up reading and re-reading Looking For Alaska as a teen, completely obsessed over it, like literally obtained my Girl Scout Camp name from that novel, so when it was announced Paramount was finally doing something with the screenplay rights in 2019, ittedly, I was nervous to see how this would be adapted. 

Especially after Paper Towns, which I was undeniably more obsessed with as a middle schooler, was a huge let down with its adaptation, I was scared to see how this beautiful story would change once it hit the screen. I think that’s why I only watched the first episode when this show hit Hulu (on top of dealing with other Life Things at the time), and then truly forgot about it for many years. 

Flash forward to 2025- I work at Paramount, was wandering through the archives, and saw with my own eyes: three boxes of assets from the Looking For Alaska TV series. Given that it was taken off of Hulu sometime in 2021, for reasons I will never understand, I immediately went home and bought the dvd set. 

This is a phenomenal show. It is, by far, the best adaptation of any of the 5 John Green books to be adapted to screen, and dare I say, the best adaptation of a young adult book that I have ever seen in my fucking life. I have read Looking For Alaska four thousand times at this point, and while I always felt so deeply moved, I never once cried- yet I cried continuously over the course of the last three episodes of this limited series. 

Everything about this adaptation is so brilliantly perfect: the location, the faithful-to-book writing, the OUTSTANDING performances by all of the leading cast; it truly allowed me to see Culver Creek and the story of Alaska, Pudge, Colonel, and Takumi in a brand new way that I had never considered while ever reading the book. I legitimately was jaw dropped and had chills numerous times throughout watching this, and I already know this story, line for line, beat for beat, like the back of my hand. 

I recently saw Looking For Alaska listed in the top 10 young adult books in an NPR article, and I truly wish its tv adaptation got as much love as the source book does. I feel like the reading world knows just how important this story is, especially to young readers who may be experiencing the beauty of love, yearning, heartache, grief, and the search for answers that will never tell you what you want for the first time in their lives, but the way its portrayed on screen just emphasizes the stories of these characters in such a beautiful way that I cannot even begin to describe how much more important I feel its screen adaptation is. 

If you have not seen this adaptation yet, please, for the love of everything you care about in your life, sit down and enjoy the well deserved eight hours of screen time given to this story. You will not regret it, and you will likely shed so many tears.

Challengers but for soccer

That’s pants bro

“this party is so party” -Sam

Luca Guadagnino could do The Godfather but Francis Ford Coppola could never do Call Me By Your Name. Anyways I hate movies that make me yearn

Need to give the editors of this film the wettest kiss in the world

ash pointed out that the point of them torturing Patrick in this is because his instrument is his voice and they wanna destroy it with the rest of music and after watching this religiously for a decade I firmly believe I will never watch this the same way

“oh my god shut your fuckin mouth” lived in my head forever as a 15 year old

What a film that I loved at 13, saw as cringe at 18, and now love it even MORE at 23… anyways John Green did cook with “what a treacherous thing it is to believe that a person is more than a person” I don’t care fuck you

1 star off because they didn’t break into sea world in da movie 😔

wait why Jamie Campbell Bower kinda…. 🫣

Not a single woman was in an above the line role for this film and you can tell. Anyways Augustus Waters kickstarted a whole generation of insufferably loud and overconfident protagonists in YA media for the rest of the 2010’s

Was so sure I wouldn’t cry this time AND YET I DID ANYWAYS ‼️
Anyways Tim was such a beautiful person and I’m still so so so so so so so so so sad about his ing

Loved this documentary so bad when I was 18 and horribly emotional over his death, but looking back on it many years later and I’m disappointed in how poorly it’s edited and how the storytelling just kinda. Sucks here

5th watch & first movie of 2025 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

“I want a shadow tattoo now like actually” -Ash

Literally the best Avicii documentary they’ve made. I sobbed the instant it started playing and twenty minutes later I am STILL sobbing. I’ve always felt Tim’s struggles in my fucking bones, and the way he was portrayed in this doc was by far the best portrayal of his true story behind the music that I’ve ever seen. Even if you don’t like EDM or Avicii’s music, and especially if you’re one of my friends who also works in the entertainment industry, this documentary is so so SO important to watch for all creatives, and serves as a grim reminder of the dangers we could face in our careers making art. 

Anyways bummed as fuck they didn’t include the clip of Chris Martin bumping the shit out of sky full of stars while Tim works and Chris is like “you are so talented man” and Tim is like “okay… do you like the synth or no” 😭

I only paid attention to half of the movie however they just fucking made the Santa Clause film edgy I think

guys should I get a sonic tattoo

I was not sober watching this but what I do was Grace yelling “they’re killing so many people!!!!”

it’s like stranger things but set in the early aughts

Maybe I’m stupid but what in the actual hell was happening in this movie

Greatest Sonic movie of all time, I literally fucking cried. It would be a 5 star film but robotnik and agent stone did not kiss in this one so I’m taking a star off for that

Sonic 2 suffers from Shrek 2 disease in which it is a sequel that is WILDLY better than the original film

Watched on Sunday November 24, 2024.

this one’s too fanfiction-y for me, coming from a seasoned fanfic writer

I love that they’re both tolerable in this film!!! And also the addition of actual plot makes this easily the greatest of the series

this movie is boring as hell and their lack of basic communication makes me want to bash my head through a wall

okay I’ve seen this movie too much and I was a hater at first but yknow!!! Shoutout to the $90million they spent redeg that little creature I fear it made the movie Good

new best movie of all time shut the fuck up

best movie of all time shut the fuck up
