This is one of my all-time favorite films.

I just heard Jermaine Dupri describe Mariah Carey making "We Belong Together" by saying "she's flawless when she wants to be," and I don't think anything could describe AuDHD more.

This didn't totally "work" but it's such a sweet little movie wirh a whimsical visual and genre sensibility. I think it being from Sony means it will one day be on Netflix. If you wish Hollywood made more mid-budget curio movies. Or just want to see Colin Farrell do a musical number. Watch it.

Sad Broadway is the greatest. May I suggest "Fifty Petcent" from Ballroom.

There was a window of time where I watched barnacle reels every night before bed. I found them soothing.

Do not let anyone gaslight you. It's terrible. And those who say it's not will say so in five years when they quell whatever urge it currently salves in their brain.
