So this Halloween, let's spare a thought for those sad lost souls who couldn't achieve their dreams of becoming artists, and thus became critics. The same people who also hated Jojo Rabbit!
Irrelevant. Out of touch. Obsolete. In the bin.”

Y’all do not like yourselves. That’s why everybody gotta come back to the office, you can’t go eat lunch or the movies alone, and your SO can’t go anywhere without you. You’re a loser and you know it, but you’ve decided to make it everyone else’s problem

Trauma: Always a treat to see a new Fessenden on the big screen but this one really moved me in ways I wasn’t prepared for. Stay for the post credits scene that Larry said he only shot because he needed to shoot at least one thing in a studio to get the NYC tax credit 👑
