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 🌹

i had to watch this movie for a screenwriting class with a professor who says this is a "perfect movie." and a year ago i would have agreed with him. but post-#MeToo this movie just doesn't hold up.
when my professor asked if anyone had seen this, i was the only person to raise a hand. he asked when i saw it, and i said many times, that it used to be one of my favorite films but now was tainted by kevin spacey. my professor then proceeded to ask if everyone "knew what happened with kevin spacey" (like, of course we all know, we're film majors and up on entertainment news?? rude, also way to avoid saying "sexual assault"),…
