I agree for the most part, I don't really think we are seeing it that differently. It's just that I don't think he swings that fast from delight to outright despair, cause I think that's a pretty drastic mood swing. The way I interpret his change in expression is that he's been hit with a pang of fear because he's…

I'm leaning towards (and becoming more and more confident in) thinking he's not going to try to pick up the girl at the bar at all, cause I don't think he watches Megan like that, leading to him helping her (whether out of love or true admiration for her possibility as an actress—either way), and then he just goes and…

Same, at times in my life it has hit close to home cause I identified more with Ribisi's character than practically anyone else in anything. It's not as true now, but I still feel as if it's as close as anything ever came to showing a slice of my perception of things and people when I've been alienated and nihilistic.…

I read almost all of them and no one mentioned it, and I absolutely agree. I haven't liked a single one of the number of her songs I heard after this one, but "Complicated" is something special. It has this totally charming high school naivety for a lot of it (which definitely shows up in some of the awkward lyrics in…
