i must stop doing this. but i come home from work so beat that i tend to go to bed immediately. only instead of sleeping through the night i get up middle of the night and have trouble sleeping again. i slept from 9pm to 11:30 pm tonight, and now I'm sure I'll be up till 4 or 5, which will ruin me next day for work again.

anyway, figured id share this beautiful scene with you guys.

this is what i call....movie magic.

i dunno what hits me more with this scene, the 1:54 mark when Russ (Billy Crudup aka Doctor Manhattan) finally joins in with the rest of the band to sing, the "I have to go home"/"you ARE home" exchange that follows right after, or the 2:12 mark when Penny Lane puts her head on William Miller's shoulder.

three straight "chill moment" scenes happening back to back to back. i dont think even rocky can top this. you'd have to go back to the opening of raiders of the lost ark to find anything similar.

how underrated is Jason Lee? not only does he play a convincing rocker here, he plays a comic book geek who spews awesome pop culture rants in Kevin Smith's universe to a tee and he's Earl Hickey.

as good as everyone in this movie though, Philip Seymour Hoffman was still the best thing about this movie.
