Witch number one, drown in a river. Witch number two, gotta noose to give her. Witch number three…
la la land was a+! but as a person who loves love and romance i will say i could’ve done without a meaningful happiness in the end and just had a whirlwind romance that actually worked out i don’t need realism in my musicals
What she says: I’m fine
What she means: The greatest part of ‘La La Land’ is that Sebastian never truly gets over Mia, even with five years and her marriage separating them; he remains alone after her successful audition and goes on to fund his own dream (which is successful but nowhere near the heights of her personal fame), but the epilogue reveals that he regrets his choices in life and believes he should’ve tossed aside his own dreams in order to fully support hers. 99% of the time, it’s expected that the female character has to drop her dreams in order to support her love interest’s (and they actually played with that, in Seb inviting her to come with the band to Idaho two weeks before her show premiered), and the fact that they defied expectations and made it about her and what she wanted, rather than just succumbing to helping him and his desires, makes the bittersweetness of the ending more profound
Here’s to the ones who dream, foolish as they may seem Here’s to the hearts that ache, here’s to the mess we make

You’re in the club! Being in the club means being stirred up by things! You look about as stirred up as a cesspool!
At the beginning of the school year, Vern had buried a quart jar of pennies underneath his house. He drew a treasure map so he could find them again. A week later, his mom cleaned out his room and threw away the map. Vern had been trying to find those pennies for nine months. Nine months, man. You didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.
