When I first saw Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind a few years ago, I thought the whole premise of it was dumb: who would want to erase a person they loved from their memory? What about all of the good times? Isn’t it better to have loved and lost than never loved at all? Well here I am sitting here, now with a firm understanding of the film, and myself wishing that there really was a service to erase someone from my mind, because it’s all become too painful (yes, even the good memories). The film’s become that much deeper as a result, and in my mind it’s an amazing film especially living through the emotions that motivated it in the first place. And about having loved and lost? At this point I can’t say which is “better”. I lost my first love and it’s become more and more painful every day, to the point where ignorance truly seems like bliss. Peace
ok, i saw this yesterday, and i really don’t think i have had that much FUN at the movies in a long time. i will probably see it again soon, it was that good.
I completely agree, everything from the editing to the story to the soundtrack just fit together so well, definitely the most fun I’ve had at the movies since I saw the Hangover, if not even before then. I’m taking a few people who haven’t seen it yet to go, and I normally hate going to see a movie again

So ridiculously true…describes an important happening in my life right now…
Ever been in a situation where you’re glad things are being kept from you but at the same time, you really want to know everything that’s going on?
This basically sums a lot of things up in terms of the last two months. Oh, and the “some day” in this song is basically now.

Upchuck: Ow.
Daria: Oh, uh, sorry, Upchuck.
Upchuck: Sweet Daria, you don’t have to resort to a ruse to get into my personal space. All you need do is ask.
Daria: Your personal space is the final frontier, Upchuck. One where I intend never to boldly go.

Upchuck: You’ll be back. They all come back.
Jane: Name two.
[walks away]
Upchuck: [pause] I could.

FUCK. YOU.
Alcohol and heartbreak do not mix well together, especially with friends. No no no.
