THIS FILM WAS SO GOOD. It was my first Linklater--I'd never seen a movie of his before. I was watching movies that year just because they were in theaters, without knowing much about them. I couldn't believe what I was seeing. I was like...holy shit. I mean it was just so strange and fascinating to see men being together in such a recognizable way, that I felt like I'd never seen before.

I'd also add, not that it's necessary, that I had a million times more fun watching this than 'Boyhood'.

Boyhood is more like a casual hypnotic journey through time. This one is a raucous roller coaster of joy.

My soul can't bear any more nostalgia for early 80s Texas. Gonna go implode now.

It had me thinking about my college years for sure. I saw guys get got by the Impossible Sit-up when I was that age.
