as someone who was the literal target audience for this, let me tell you, this movie was my everything. the amount of time i watched it is honestly terrifying, the way i can still remember not only the lines but how they were said, the chronological and non-chronological order of the story, incredibly specific details about the plot and most importantly, i sing the helvetica theme song every time i see the font name
