sometimes i lie awake at night thinking about how if Mr. Brightside had come out just 2 years earlier it would’ve fit perfectly for the envious rage scenes. no shade to Tango Roxanne, you rule, but can you IMAGINE an over dramatic vaudevillian rendition of Mr. Brightside, Ewan just absolutely scream-sobbing about jealousy turning saints into the sea...... i’m building a time and space augmentation device as we speak
it is insane how relentlessly horny movies were right before 9/11. my man baz directed this thing like the tasmanian devil on cialis
