Samantha Mathis is my main woman. If I ever watch "Atlas Shrugged: Part 2" again, it will be because of her. She is almost criminally underrated. (I'd have to watch it again to really recommend it, but you might like "Lebanon, PA".)
When I originally watched "Volume," the interplay of Matthis and Slater's character taught me something I hadn't actually learned in real life yet as a teen: that boys, even and perhaps especially ones that are intellectually and ethically preternaturally courageous, are still terrified of girls and showing them their feelings.
This was something I somehow (at that age) didn't internalize as being real. It was a good dose of empathy for me.
I appreciate that. Unfortunately, dead philosophers directed this culture (I'm about to read about one of them), and they had different plans for the likes of me.
Talk hard.

Also, I live in striking distance of Lebanon. And that was a great movie.
I need to watch it again. I need to watch all of these films again (and read the screenplays if I can find them).

Matthis: "YOU can TALK."
Slater: "I can't talk to YOU."
I needed a Nora at that age. I could use a Nora NOW!
I'm sorry to hear you haven't got one already. You very much deserve one.
If I were the director, you'd be well into your romantic arc.

Just don't make yourself unhappier than you have to be.
Sorry. I've been saying a lot of gay shit like that lately.
Sad to see what happened to Gene Simmons the last three years.
Although I was a teenager in the eighties, I think my decade is the seventies.
I can't bear to look or listen much anymore. I would have loved the Seventies.
