I watched this last night too, yay! loooooove this movie, because its so strange and crazy, and funny and sad, its life basically. i love movies that are a 'day-in-the-life' kinda thing - wonderboys, identity, the philadelphia story, etc. i dont know why, but they are always my favourites. i like empire records especially because the characters are so different and crazy at first, but then you realise they are all the same, and they are all messed up. as weird as it is, its very realistic.
