a guide to recognizing your saints


When you decide to move to San Francisco in 2006, you sort of live in a bubble of survival/adventure and miss one of the most amazing movies based on real life of all time. It's not until three years later when you are living in Brooklyn and you Netflix it one night thinking, "This looks good." And it's better than good, it's unforgettable. Then you text your best friend that they have to see it. And they text back: "I could've told you that in 2006. In the theater. But I didn't. Oh snap. 2006 called, it wants its Robert Downey Jr. comeback performance back." Then you feel embarrassed because you are in fact, three years late. But it doesn't matter, because you just saw one of the best movies of all time. The end.
P.S. If you are three years late too, don't sleep!
