You guys are missing the point. Rupert is A) a psychopath stalker and B) wants a free ride all the way to the top. One of the defining things about that character is that he’s never performed his standup before. Yes the gatekeepers are keeping him from getting on TV, but he’s never even thought about going to the clubs — where there is far less to no gatekeeping — and working on material. He wants to be famous for fames sake, not because he has talent or passion or anything

That’s so funny. I’ve never once heard anyone talk about either of those films since they came out — let alone his performance in them. Yet both Everybody Wants Some and his performance remained beloved to this day, at least in my little corner of the world.

Licorice Pizza. It has all the trappings of a nostalgic, romantic dramedy but has the audacity to evoke something other than melodrama or charm. It’s just, like, stinky. Idk. It’s just going for such a unique feeling that you don’t get in any movies. Everything’s just kinda off. There’s a almost imperceptible underlying sense of dread throughout. It’s kinda like when someone’s telling a childhood story and halfway through kinda realize… wait… this was actually all kinda fucked up. And now they’re trapped because memory doesn’t work that way. Memory sanitizes. Took me at least viewings to wrap my head around what this movie was going for. Now I love it.
