Linklater so good at art that I always forget he’s so amazing at making popcorn movies too!
Think I’m in love with Glenn Powell. You can tell my wife I think she is too.
Enjoyed it more than fury road, typical Telugu villain and faction mass movie
we are soooooooooooooooooooooooooo back
an anthology about the lengths and limits of people’s devotion to one another. yorgos back in sicko mode. the old man next to me got so mad he pushed me out of the way to get the hell out. we’re so fucking back friends.

I Saw the TV Glow feels undeniable in its importance. Something you watch and just know is going to leave an immense lasting impression on a lot of people. Certain films have that transcendental aura that leave you shell-shocked and at a loss of breath… feeling like a hopeless wanderer on a reflective journey… I Saw the TV Glow is that film. A surreal coming-of-age acid trip laced with imagery equally as beautiful as they can be horrifying. Truly… shot-selections…
