I don't know, man.

I mean, it's good.

No question about that, it's good.

But it's not "brain-shattering."
For what it's worth, in a lot of the movie what people were saying was in direct opposition to what was being depicted visually on the screen.

HTH! HAND!

I'm going to go ahead and hold my THUMB DOWN right here in front of me for the rest of the day, and you'll know that I'm out there doing it, and that if thumbs pointing DOWN could actually be pointing AT someone, it would be pointing DOWN... at YOU.
Yeah, well, you'd be surprised how effective that can be when used appropriately.

You're never actually going to do this, are you?

BTW, I watched it again last night/this morning SOBER for the first time. I was afraid it wouldn't be as good.

It was.

My time here is limited, but I wanted to come here today to wish everyone a very merry Magnolia Day. =)

Many Magnolia blessings to you and yours!

This is a very special day, friends. I really feel strongly about this. I just wish... I just wish Jason Robards, Henry Gibson, and Jeremy Blackman's acting career could be here to see all this.

How fitting we would be lamenting Blackman, on this, the week of MLK's birthday.

Boy, was this an unpleasant thread. What the hell was the matter with me?

Today is the 20th anniversary of the release of Magnolia. It is still my favorite movie. It is still the most important work of art that has ever touched my life.

And I still come off horribly in this whole thread. What an embarrassment.

Hey, we were all young once. Where's that apology template?
