imagine going over to ricky's house for a dime bag and he's just sitting there watching a video he recorded of a dead cat in a dumpster or something and he senses your presence and says "i watch this every day at exactly 3:41pm. it reminds me that i'm not alone in the world" and then he starts crying and you're just like "ricky... the weed"

I'd fuck daddy Kevin Spacey in an instant 🌹

UPDATE: This didn't age well. 😂

tag urself i'm the plastic bag that wanted to dance with wes bentley

I feel like I've been in a coma for the past twenty years. And I'm just now waking up.

What is your purpose in life? How do you see yourself? How do you interact with other people? Is your life turning into one big routine?

This film teaches you how to look closer at life, discover new things, and have a better understanding and appreciation of human nature. Never judge a book by its cover; there is always much more hidden underneath the surface.

Triumphs in all areas. We can all learn something from this film.

An amazingly inspirational piece with a stunning score from Thomas Newman. Sam Mendes does us proud.

lana del rey watched this and went "yep, i'm gonna base my career off of angela hayes"

Janie, today I quit my job. And then I told my boss to go fuck himself, and then I blackmailed him for almost sixty thousand dollars. Pass the asparagus.

This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.

Watched with friends, had to show em for the first time. Conflicting, yes, but there are so many reasons for why I often tie this with FMF for my fav of all time. Hits hard, changed how I looked at film, first film that ever seemed to just dive into my mind and get me to try to understand everything about myself. 


*mastapiece*

kevin spacey sleeping with underraged teens,,,,, disappointed but not surprised

u can tell a man wrote this

Not long after this came out my father became quite enraged with me, shouting at me in a restaurant, because he'd loved it and I, very convinced of my white hot takes as a barely 21-year-old film student, smugly proclaimed that if this was really up to something then Lester would actually have gone ahead and fucked that neighbor girl. Now, I'm not saying I wasn't a little bit full of shit there, but I remain just as smugly proud of both that moment and my assessment. In my defense the movie is just as simplistic and pleased with itself.

perfect screen-writing. this movie has helped me through my darkest days. the cut out scene in the end is totally necessary since i’d go down to a spiral if it was included. minus one star for using the lolita-inspired relationship as an audience bait eventhough the theme of the movie is clearly much deeper than that. also why would you use that for a bait? gross.

first film that hit me, a classic in my books

Kevin Spacey (actor) is absolutely GOATED.

The only movie that matters..

Such an impressive directorial debut from Sam Mendes - he manages the tone of the material really well and gets such good performances out of the cast. Enjoyed this way more than I thought I would!

So amazing kevin spacey is hilarious, really enjoyable but kinda dark xx

Pra mim se tornou dificil comprar -principalmente aqui - a narrativa do cara de classe media americana, que um dia desperta porque ja foi feita tantas vezes e aqui se voce ver o fato motivador é basicamente a amiga da filha que ele começa sentir atraçao.

Mas contudo o filme ainda funciona muito bem, todo o arco de se conhecer, despertar pra quem voce realmente é e como são traçadas varias linhas de pensamento sobre esse tema e como eles funcionam muito bem.

E é interessante que a muito tempo atras quando assisti o flime soava totalmente um drama bem emocinal, que te faz sentir esse despertar do lester, os dramas que aquelas pessoas estão. Mas agora, vendo depois de algum tempo voce nota certo humor negro nas situações que são quase comicas mesmo, você tem aquele ar leve satirico mas que a edição pende pro drama emocional e etc.

The screenplay has it’s problems I get yall... but the direction 👌

We’re all suffering from the Mandela effect here thinking at one time this was great when it’s actually weird as fuck

77/100

tell me this doesn’t remind u of election

I don't think I have ever viscerally hated a film more. I mean, it ticks my two biggest "I hate this in any media" boxes in the absolute biggest way, with a couple of "major irk" boxes. The literal only thing I can think of positively about this film is the gay couple, and even then IMDb Trivia says they were meant to be the most boring people in the film but ruddy hell, come on.

Screw you, Kick-Ass, for guilting me into watching this next.
