That soundtrack is AMAZING; that will probably remain my favorite soundtrack, ever lol. I feel so much the same about this movie now; I was also in college when it came out and I absolutely remember thinking it was made for me 😆 It’s very much of its time, even if it doesn't hold up nearly as well now.
Also-The dishwasher anecdote in this movie still haunts me and if someone ever walks by while the door is down I hold my breath every damn time
1. I think about the dishwasher thing every single day tbh and I haven't even had a working dishwasher in any home I've lived in for the last . . . 15 years?
2. I, too, can never blame Natalie Portman for anything!!
3. The story of how you met your husband is adorable.
4. What a great quote from Zach Braff! I was neutral-to-negative toward Zach Braff until I read that quote and it turned me right around.
Honestly, same about Zach Braff...I had kind of negative feelings toward him because I watched the movie The Last Kiss with him and Rachel Bilson, where he plays an absolute useless man. Maybe the most useless man of all time. And even though I know he was playing a character, I was still appalled!! But I did love this quote so much. He sounds very well-adjusted. I guess Florence Pugh knew something we didn't.
I was in high school when this movie came out and I remember *nothing* about it except how beautiful Natalie Portman was (and is). That you for this refreshing analysis and reflection. Your movie thoughts are my favorite!
Hey Kerry... Hey.... thanks... for writing about Garden State! My friend Ashley and I were obsessed with this movie when it came out. I think we saw it 3 times at the Drexel in Grandview. We even had the movie poster in our first apartment. Can't listen to New Slang without thinking of this movie. Love it.
Although I will forever love this soundtrack (that Such Great Heights cover alone!), I have been afraid to rewatch the film because it felt so much like a moment in time, specifically my first year at college. Glad to know it’s not as cringe as I feared.
I also asked for over the ear headphones for Christmas because of this movie, which I have nothing but great memories of.

It's so special when a movie can hit you at exactly the right moment.

I trust your opinion re useless men in cinema above all others'!

Thank you!! She is impossibly gorgeous.

LOVE that you had the movie poster! That feels so appropriate for a first apartment.
