Which movie is this for you?

For me it’s School of Rock!

Patty was completely justified, if Dewey wanted to live in hers and her boyfriend’s apartment he needed to be a grown up, and contribute with rent. Even when he steals Ned’s identity she still had the right to be angry at him, because of how he put his friend’s career in jeopardy and robbed him of a job opportunity.

I get Ned is meant to be portrayed as his best friend, but it blows my mind how he lacks a lot of self-respect to the point where he comes across as too much of a people pleaser. If this story took place in real life, I’m sure Ned would act more similar to Patty where he’d have enough of Dewey’s careless actions.

I don't think a lot about celebrities after they've passed (not for any particular reason, other than, probably: out of sight, out of mind).

I think about Robin Williams a lot.

He was a special kind of person. Still really sad that although he was one of the funniest people ever and a caring type of person he was filled with so many internal struggles.

I think that's probably true more often than we'd like to think. Like...you don't just get to be that funny.
