same with stalker, that knocked me out cold and i had to rewind like forty minutes when i woke up. i’ve avoided tarkovsky for years because i don’t want to fall asleep in another of his movies 😬.
i have seen 2001 twice and almost fell asleep both times. the second time was in a theater. that’s not a bad thing, in this case, but i’m sure other people would disagree.
and realizing it’s gonna happen right before makes us feel so immersed in the scene. we are tashi duncan locked tf in on their game and their relationship. and it was in dolby so the ost was going.
this was so fun to watch in theaters. when patrick put the ball to the pussy part of the racket, everybody moved. loud gasps throughout the room. and the movie is so enthralling, you’re not thinking about that until the moment before he does it.
my interest in the other couples stops at how they expand ilya and shane and their world, because they have the most interesting dynamic, because the show is their story
man i do not care about eric and kyle. and i do not know why people thought they would be featured in the shane and ilya show. a cute lil cameo at the kingfisher would be enough #andi’mnotsorry
