i get that people hated “im thinking of ending things” bc the plot was incomprehensible but thats part of the appeal for me. i loved it.

ITA. Absolutely understand why a lot of people didn't care for it, but I really liked it and find myself thinking about it a lot.

i loved it too!! was definitely my favorite movie of 2020. tho, tbf, i watched it at a time in my life where a lot of it rang true and it hit too close to home in a lot of ways so i think i was destined to connect w/ it lol

Thanks for submitting the post @scriptedending !

I did like this one - my Dad played a lot of Talking Heads when I was growing up, so I loved having so much of them in this video. I love all of his countdowns, I think the way Ehrlich ties up the themes in the songs to the visuals from the movies he uses in his videos is so extraordinary. If I could figure out how to do it, I would want to all the time!

My favourites I think are 2014, 2015 and 2017, but when I'm sad and need cheering up I'll watch a load of them in a row, they never fail to cheer me up! Well, 2014's ending makes me sad ('Fare Thee Well' always gets me) as 2014 was the year I moved to France. #3 Inside Llewyn Davis was the last movie I watched before I moved, and #2 The Wind Rises was the first movie I saw when I was settled in France, so that one always hits a bit differently for me, emotions wise. Not to mention #1 that year is Before Midnight, and I adore that trilogy. 2015 when he does the juxtaposition of 'Girls Just Wanna Have Fun' and Mad Max Fury Road ("we ( ... )
