i realize this comes off as self-congratulatory . . . but two separate people from The Past recently said essentially the same thing to me about movies, and it was extremely validating to me because, WHAT CAN I SAY, i enjoy showing cool movies to people i love! i don’t just put on the same movies for everyone . . . i try to choose movies that are both important to me and ones i think they would actually enjoy. even still: it’s a moment of vulnerability to show someone a thing you love. i did not know if any of it had landed, so to hear this years later from these two fine people was really touching. thanks for watching them with me!
