We have all been Max at some point.

We have all been Max at some point - part deux.

Self-defense against pigeons 101.

Oh, to come home to this home. <3

Neither can we, Max. Neither can we.

It is really clear that I can really relate to Max a little too much.

Really.

Truth.

We've all wanted to say this at some point.

There is no spoooooon.

I don't like how accurate this is.

Goals.

Goals part deux.

Goals all the way.
Moonrise Kingdom 2012

What I really heard is, "Watch out for life. It will bite you if you live."

Whenever someone tries to give me a compliment.

WITH A DYSFUNCTIONAL FLUSH.

I've been proven wrong. Sigh.
Swiss Army Man 2016

Especially when we all have to pay for the ticket.

All writers on deadline day.

I do not like your accuracy.

How comforting.

THANK YOU, FRANCES.

Yes and it's a good point to be at.

The Prose of Proust on a Plane.

Favourite part of the movie <-------- ------->

Refer previous slide.

"Has your butt been hugged today?"

That's fine as long as I don't have to sleep in front of one.

In this scene, we see all the people Frances touched in her life gathered at her dance recital. I've always wondered this - if your entire life was on stage, whose faces would you like to see in the audience? Who among them would actually turn up?

That's because you're white.

I hate it when my mother is right.

No, it's expensive.

This movie is full of people asking the right questions.

Sigh.

Because, mother, I majored in hindsight.

Well, Actually...

My music journalism origin story.

So they proceeded to make 'Punk Is Not Dead T-Shirts' on Vistaprint.

And yet.

This feels more intimate to me than any sexual gesture, for some reason.

Because not everybody can afford therapy.

Good enough.

Me, about my intestines during my endoscopy.

What's even real?

I don't know how I'd feel about this movie if it didn't talk about loneliness the way it does.

I'm a very learned woman.

Thank you.

Everybody, go hug your mom.


We just dream about being able to afford air conditioners.
