ethan hawke was one GREASY bitch wasn't he
winona lying on the couch the for days, in her pyjamas, being unemployed, watching daytime tv, eating junk food and talking to her psychic is the biggest of ALL the moods
ethan hawke just looks like he would cheat on you. like it’s coded in his dna. still would smash tho.

This film is totally silly and I can recognise that. Does that mean I don't want an emotionally vulnerable 1994 Ethan Hawke to crowd me against a fridge and kiss my eyelids before making sweet, sweet love to me and running off in the morning to his conveniently dying father? Fuck no! Eat this ass, Ethan Hawke!!!!
i’m a whore for ethan hawke films. there i said it.
What is your glitch?
It’s an angsty romance with Winona Ryder and Ethan Hawke that’s produced by Danny DeVito. What am I supposed to do, not love it?
Both annoying and comforting, so just what I need
ethan hawke is an ASSHOLE in this film but i'm still REALLY attracted to him
I can't remember a time when I didn't love this movie. It was, and still is, the ultimate slacker film. It summed up everything Kurt Cobain was trying to say and Douglas Coupland was writing about; the story of a generation with no aspirations where the only question left is "What are we supposed to do now?"
I don't know when or if this whole thing would have come crashing down if the internet hadn't come along and redirected the course of history. So now the slackers are no more real than dinosaurs or dodo birds. They were the prototype for modern hipsters before being a hipster was nothing more than a fashion statement. And now their only real descendants…

Ethan Hawke plays the biggest dickhead on Earth, but he quotes Nietzsche a few times and is usually pretty cynical and mopey, so he gets the girl and everyone thinks he's awesome.
In the 90s, people equated being sad with being cool. It was a weird time.
“I was really going to be somebody by the time I was 23.”
“Honey, all you have to be by the time you're 23 is yourself.”
“...I don't know who that is anymore.”
a must watch for any college student/young adult— this film really resonated with me
once you get past the all the 90s nostalgia, it’s really an honest depiction of new adulthood and trying to find yourself in the “real world”
also 90s ethan hawke i have major feelings for you
