Halladay

You know how I have a really short attention span when it comes to films? Well, I’m trying to overcome that. Maybe the weather's to blame or I’m doing this to test myself. I don’t know. Who cares? I watched three wonderful movies in a span of 24 hours and that's all that matters. Her, Frances Ha, and Blue is the Warmest Color.

I’m not one to make recommendations but with their countless accolades, Certified Fresh ratings in Rotten Tomatoes, as well as the exquisite performances of such brilliant actors (I'm still thinking about Joaquin Phoenix and his Oscar snub, not to mention Adèle Exarchopoulos' beautiful face), I suggest that you take the time to watch these films when you can. Just be sure that you can absorb the fact that a man can have a relationship with an operating system. And that a modern film is shot in black and white. And, most important, that you have the balls to watch a really graphic intimate scene between two French women. If you have no qualms about any of these, you’re good to go. Aah, but don't even hesitate, just go and watch them. I swear something beautiful, however sad, will stir inside of you.

Here's something from my current spirit animal, Frances:

"I want this one moment. It's what I want in a relationship, which might explain why I am single now. Ha ha. [It's kind of hard to...] It's that thing when you're with someone and you love them and they know it and they love you and you know it, but it's a party. And you're both talking to other people and you're laughing and shining, and you look across the room and catch each other's eyes, but not because you're possessive or that it's precisely sexual, but because that is your person in this life. And it's funny and sad, but only because this life will end. And it's this secret world that exists right there, in public, unnoticed, and no one else knows about. It's sort of like how they say that, uhm, other dimensions exist all around us but we don't have the ability to perceive them? That's... that's what I want out of a relationship. Or just life, I guess. Love. Blah. I'm stoned. I'm not stoned. Thanks for dinner. Bye."

And I found a clip on YouTube. I want to cry.
