No matter how many times I stumbled unto this movie on TV, I actually never watched it. I'm not sure what it was but it just never seemed interesting to me. I also didn't know that the soundtrack for this film was massively popular after this film came out.

I finally sat down to watch it and I'm honestly glad I didn't watch it before. I may have not given what this film is doing the credit it deserves. I will probably come back to it in the future soon as I believe it would benefit from a few rewatches to catch things I may have missed the first time.

A few quotes I wrote down while watching it mostly because of the delivery:

Well ain't this place a geographical oddity! Two weeks from everywhere!

I guess I'm the only one that remains unaffiliated.

Lots of respectable people have been hit by trains.

We are the United States government! We don't do that sort of thing.

Forgot to show everyone my new library card.

I KNOW what a burrito is

It's hard not to compare this to Synecdoche, New York (2008) as they obviously cover some of the same ideas of art and artists.

The performances here are amazing for the whole cast and it's maybe Nic Cage's best.

If you can't find that stuff in life, then you my friend don't know crap about life!
