I haven't exhausted the entire WMOAT archives, so I may be mistaken, but I think Armageddon will mark the first WMOAT nominee actually included in the Criterion Collection. And a couple weeks down the road, I think Benjamin Button is also on the list. You crazy for this one, Criterion committee.
Alright, look. I know I'm not the first teenager to come to you with my problems. These years are so hard for us with our changing bodies, wildly emotional mood swings, and our animalistic hormones just clawing to get out of us. It leaves us feeling isolated ? like we're the only ones this has ever happened to. Maybe it's just a lack of fresh sunlight due to my location, but I gotta say, I'm really feeling bizarre and out of control these days. Different. Lonely. Angry. And this could be just a result of family pressure, but I have recently developed a severe dislike of shirts. And of flying pale-skinned kids. What's happening to me? I just get so Youdamned pissed at fucking everything that I don't even trust myself to be around the girl I'm in love with. WTF! Please help.

Definitely. We said the same thing. It was like "poor Grenade," (but also poor grenade's parents, grenade's elementary school teachers, and grenade's former boyfriends).
It's true, the guy is not a "movie star" in the true sense of the word(s), but yeah, he seems like a good enough kid, so I wish him well in his future Lifetime Network ventures such as "Dial M for Muscular" in his role as Boyishly Handsome Architect.
