watching as good as it gets (1997) on netflix. it’s a different universe somehow, i feel like there are little inferences i keep missing about what’s happening. but also every character is like one layer more emotionally honest than what i’m used to which is lovely

jack nicholson’s character is such an impressively selfish little baby. i guess i’m used to him playing characters that are more… put together? intimidating? here he’s just pretty explicitly pathetic

i like helen hunt’s face when she feels touched by something jack said but i don’t buy for a second that they have any physical chemistry and the kisses feel really off to me. welp. can’t have everything

I love that film. I cried at the end.
If you haven’t watched “Ordinary People”, I think it would be perfect to both experience the development of the capacity for vulnerability and think about it analytically.

no no no don't let twitter find out about that gem of a movie, not interested in age gaps becoming the discourse du jour again

I saw this in high school and loved it but felt embarrassed about that and this is very validating

it’s a lovely movie! what felt embarrassing about it? i guess jack nicholson’s maybe uncomfortably too much of an asshole?
