It's like, how do we keep up? I can't even process the mass shooting that happened three weeks ago. I can't process the one that happened last week or the wildfires. It's all so much.

It's just appearing to go backward. Mercury is the planet of communication so it is popular belief that, when Mercury appears to station and stop in the sky and go backward and then become invisible and then reappear again, communications go through a kind of underworld experience, which pop culture has really grabbed onto and made a lot more out of than it really needs to be.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I think that we're really forward-focused and we're really hung up on progress. Nature reminds us all the time it's really important to also follow the rhythms of life. And so Mercury retrograde might have us reviewing certain ways in which we're communicating, might have us backtracking, might have us not going forward in all areas of our life.

It's like, how do we keep up? I can't even process the mass shooting that happened three weeks ago. I can't process the one that happened last week or the wildfires. It's all so much. Our systems aren't made to be able to handle this much information.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"People more and more need somewhere to just touch down and reconnect with themselves, even if it's just for a moment...\u003cb>\u003c/b>We need to stay as close to our humanity as possible in these times because it's so easy to get caught up in the extremes. How do we stay close to our human connections, our human emotions, our bodies, our selves?

It's just appearing to go backward. Mercury is the planet of communication so it is popular belief that, when Mercury appears to station and stop in the sky and go backward and then become invisible and then reappear again, communications go through a kind of underworld experience, which pop culture has really grabbed onto and made a lot more out of than it really needs to be.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I think that we're really forward-focused and we're really hung up on progress. Nature reminds us all the time it's really important to also follow the rhythms of life.

Americans -- and probably most citizens of the world in general -- are pretty anxious about what’s going to happen on November 8, 2016. So how do we deal with all the unsettling uncertainty over the next few months? Here are a few options:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A. Keep your mind off of all the drama by going outside, enjoying a hobby (maybe take up crocheting?), enjoying a nice chilled drink, hanging out with friends, or watching all seven seasons of \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/pop/tag/gilmore-girls/\">\u003cem>Gilmore Girls\u003c/em>\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>B. Rant on Facebook and engage in fights with all the people you went to high school with. (This approach is a favorite of many, as your FB news feed can surely attest.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>C. Find potential answers by watching weird, super long YouTube videos of astrologers talking about how the planets and stars will affect our country’s future.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Because I don't feel like learning how to crochet and unfriended all the randos from high school eons ago, I've chosen option C. I just finished watching over an hour of these astrology videos and I’m here to share what YouTube astrologers are saying about Bernie, Hillary and Donald.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Let’s start with a woman who calls herself The Uranian Astrologer. She's a nice white lady who \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IOCnke0nZfg\">intros some of her videos with explicit Snoop Dogg songs\u003c/a>. The Uranian Astrologer contains multitudes, just like the rest of us.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://youtu.be/846-HsS_FGM\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to her two-part series on our country's overall planetary vibe, the only times we’ve had these exact planetary transits have been during the American Revolution and leading up to the the Civil War.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Back in the American Revolution days, Pluto was all up in Capricorn. Similarly, Pluto entered Capricorn in 2008 (hey, Barack and Sasha and co!) and will reside there until 2025. You might be wondering: \u003cem>Uhhhh, what does any of that mean?\u003c/em> I'll tell you!\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pluto is the planet of death and rebirth and will allegedly compel us to come to terms with ugly parts of our society by shoving these toxic elements into the light so that something new can emerge. In both American Revolution times and today, there is a frustration with the status quo and abuses of power. Through confronting these issues, the country’s soul has a chance to become free and transform. Cool! Thanks, Pluto! You're still a planet in my heart!\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pluto isn’t the only planet mixing things up. Neptune is currently in the beginning of a new cycle, which hasn’t been renewed since the years leading up to the Civil War. This is a time of destroying restrictive rules and boundaries to enable a downtrodden group to rise up. Again, very cool! Way to go, Neptune!\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now that we have a general lay of the land…or universe or whatever, let’s continue with a different astrologer by the name of Robert Phoenix. He stands in front of a really calming twinkle star background and has a really bold goatee. His expertise is digging into the individual star charts and he applied his method to the three most popular candidates.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Iuo0zzq73WQ\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Let's start with Bernie. According to Phoenix:\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>Bernie will never be more popular than he is now. His chart is \"electric right now!\"\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>Bernie is a Virgo, a sign that is known for intelligence, reliability, and modesty. But the two Virgo presidents we've had have been failures, in Phoenix's view. In case you're curious, those two are Taft, who allegedly got stuck in a bath tub, and Lyndon B. Johnson, who had to answer for the debacle in Vietnam.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>Saturn is conjunct (I don't know what that means either, so don't feel bad) with Uranus in Gemini, which might explain Bernie's Millennial allure. You see, Saturn is father time (a.k.a. old) and the conjunct business stands in for youth culture. Ergo, Bernie represents the merging of the old and the new!\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>Bernie's Mars is in Aries. Mars in Aries equals red. Red equals communism. Noted communist Gorbachev also has his Mars in Aries. Coincidence? Maybe? Who knows!\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>Bernie's rising sign is Scorpio. According to Phoenix, one should never underestimate a Scorpio rising. They're in it 'til the end, which explains why he refused to leave the race for so long. On the flip side, a Scorpio rising has never managed to become president.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>Now let's see what's going on in Hillary's chart:\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>Hillary is also a Scorpio rising. This explains why she too was a staunch opponent during the 2008 election, as well as the current one.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>One of Hillary's biggest thorns in her side during this campaign shows up in her chart. You see, her Uranus is squaring her moon. Uranus rules technology, the moon rules the home, the square represents conflict between the two .

Americans -- and probably most citizens of the world in general -- are pretty anxious about what’s going to happen on November 8, 2016. So how do we deal with all the unsettling uncertainty over the next few months? Here are a few options:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A. Keep your mind off of all the drama by going outside, enjoying a hobby (maybe take up crocheting?), enjoying a nice chilled drink, hanging out with friends, or watching all seven seasons of \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/pop/tag/gilmore-girls/\">\u003cem>Gilmore Girls\u003c/em>\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>B.

Similarly, Pluto entered Capricorn in 2008 (hey, Barack and Sasha and co!) and will reside there until 2025. You might be wondering: \u003cem>Uhhhh, what does any of that mean?\u003c/em> I'll tell you!\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pluto is the planet of death and rebirth and will allegedly compel us to come to terms with ugly parts of our society by shoving these toxic elements into the light so that something new can emerge. In both American Revolution times and today, there is a frustration with the status quo and abuses of power. Through confronting these issues, the country’s soul has a chance to become free and transform. Cool! Thanks, Pluto! You're still a planet in my heart!\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pluto isn’t the only planet mixing things up. Neptune is currently in the beginning of a new cycle, which hasn’t been renewed since the years leading up to the Civil War. This is a time of destroying restrictive rules and boundaries to enable a downtrodden group to rise up. Again, very cool! Way to go, Neptune!\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now that we have a general lay of the land…or universe or whatever, let’s continue with a different astrologer by the name of Robert Phoenix. He stands in front of a really calming twinkle star background and has a really bold goatee. His expertise is digging into the individual star charts and he applied his method to the three most popular candidates.\u003c/p>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutube'>\n \u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutubeInside'>\n \u003ciframe\n loading='lazy'\n class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__youtubePlayer'\n type='text/html'\n src='//www.youtube.com/embed/Iuo0zzq73WQ'\n title='//www.youtube.com/embed/Iuo0zzq73WQ'\n allowfullscreen='true'\n style='border:0;'>\u003c/iframe>\n \u003c/span>\n \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cp>Let's start with Bernie. According to Phoenix:\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>Bernie will never be more popular than he is now. His chart is \"electric right now!\"\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>Bernie is a Virgo, a sign that is known for intelligence, reliability, and modesty. But the two Virgo presidents we've had have been failures, in Phoenix's view. In case you're curious, those two are Taft, who allegedly got stuck in a bath tub, and Lyndon B. Johnson, who had to answer for the debacle in Vietnam.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>Saturn is conjunct (I don't know what that means either, so don't feel bad) with Uranus in Gemini, which might explain Bernie's Millennial allure. You see, Saturn is father time (a.k.a. old) and the conjunct business stands in for youth culture. Ergo, Bernie represents the merging of the old and the new!\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>Bernie's Mars is in Aries. Mars in Aries equals red. Red equals communism. Noted communist Gorbachev also has his Mars in Aries. Coincidence? Maybe? Who knows!\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>Bernie's rising sign is Scorpio. According to Phoenix, one should never underestimate a Scorpio rising. They're in it 'til the end, which explains why he refused to leave the race for so long. On the flip side, a Scorpio rising has never managed to become president.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>Now let's see what's going on in Hillary's chart:\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>Hillary is also a Scorpio rising. This explains why she too was a staunch opponent during the 2008 election, as well as the current one.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>One of Hillary's biggest thorns in her side during this campaign shows up in her chart. You see, her Uranus is squaring her moon. Uranus rules technology, the moon rules the home, the square represents conflict between the two .

It’s thought, for example, that whoever catches the bride’s bouquet at a wedding will be the next to get married. A New Year’s meal of black-eyed peas and greens will bring good luck and so will a four-leaf clover. Be careful not to walk under a ladder or let a black cat cross your path, though. You should definitely knock on wood on Friday the 13th. The list goes on.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In San Francisco, you can’t go far without hearing a conversation about another type of superstition: astrology, both Western and Chinese. Unlike the former, which uses months to classify people, the Chinese Zodiac follows the lunar calendar, assigning an animal and personality traits for every year. It also cycles through five elements (wood, fire, earth, metal, water) with each reigning for two years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On February 19th, we leave behind the year of the horse, associated with intelligence and victory in battle, and enter the year of the sheep, likened to calmness and creativity. Many view the sheep as meek and susceptible to poverty. In other words, 2015 is not a lucky year in which to be born.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>China boasts one of the fastest growing economies in the world, and upward mobility is so highly valued that it’s almost understandable what has happened throughout the year of the horse: many aspiring mothers have rushed to get pregnant—and deliver—long before the dreaded year of the sheep. A spike in the birth rate also took place in 2012, the year of the dragon, the only mythical creature in the Chinese Zodiac and the most lauded.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Chinese officials have warned that the birth craze could engender too much competition several years from now when children born in the year of the horse enter the job market. The Chinese economy is indeed strong and there are certain equal opportunity protections for job seekers. Still, it’s not unheard of for an employer to state a preference for a Gemini or Aquarius candidate over, say, a Leo (\u003ca href=\"http://www.newrepublic.com/article/119500/chinese-astrology-surprising-prominence-horoscopes\">or to outright ban the hire of Virgos\u003c/a>).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Knowing that astrology biases some people, what’s a sheep to do to level the playing field?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If you are moved by a certain \u003cem>Harvard Mental Health Letter \u003c/em>published in the '90s: nothing. Researchers David Phillips, Todd Ruth, and Lisa Wagner studied several thousand sick Chinese-Americans in California and found that those whose illness matched the element and disease of their birth year—for example, fire is linked to heart disease—died younger, on average, than their European American counterparts with the same illness. So mind over matter goes both ways.

It’s thought, for example, that whoever catches the bride’s bouquet at a wedding will be the next to get married. A New Year’s meal of black-eyed peas and greens will bring good luck and so will a four-leaf clover. Be careful not to walk under a ladder or let a black cat cross your path, though. You should definitely knock on wood on Friday the 13th. The list goes on.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In San Francisco, you can’t go far without hearing a conversation about another type of superstition: astrology, both Western and Chinese. Unlike the former, which uses months to classify people, the Chinese Zodiac follows the lunar calendar, assigning an animal and personality traits for every year. It also cycles through five elements (wood, fire, earth, metal, water) with each reigning for two years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On February 19th, we leave behind the year of the horse, associated with intelligence and victory in battle, and enter the year of the sheep, likened to calmness and creativity. Many view the sheep as meek and susceptible to poverty. In other words, 2015 is not a lucky year in which to be born.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>China boasts one of the fastest growing economies in the world, and upward mobility is so highly valued that it’s almost understandable what has happened throughout the year of the horse: many aspiring mothers have rushed to get pregnant—and deliver—long before the dreaded year of the sheep. A spike in the birth rate also took place in 2012, the year of the dragon, the only mythical creature in the Chinese Zodiac and the most lauded.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Chinese officials have warned that the birth craze could engender too much competition several years from now when children born in the year of the horse enter the job market. The Chinese economy is indeed strong and there are certain equal opportunity protections for job seekers. Still, it’s not unheard of for an employer to state a preference for a Gemini or Aquarius candidate over, say, a Leo (\u003ca href=\"http://www.newrepublic.com/article/119500/chinese-astrology-surprising-prominence-horoscopes\">or to outright ban the hire of Virgos\u003c/a>).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"fullwidth"},"numeric":["fullwidth"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Knowing that astrology biases some people, what’s a sheep to do to level the playing field?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If you are moved by a certain \u003cem>Harvard Mental Health Letter \u003c/em>published in the '90s: nothing. Researchers David Phillips, Todd Ruth, and Lisa Wagner studied several thousand sick Chinese-Americans in California and found that those whose illness matched the element and disease of their birth year—for example, fire is linked to heart disease—died younger, on average, than their European American counterparts with the same illness.

Martin Blank (an especially charming and hot John Cusack) is a freelance hitman who gets invited to his 10-year high school reunion right when he’s feeling twinges of uncertainty about his life. At 28, Martin’s got all the trappings of a full-on 20s existential life crisis. Early on, he tells his therapist, “I’m feeling uneasy, man…I’m dispassionate, bored, ill at ease, I’ve got problems at work, it’s hard to sustain a good mood…” Any of that sound familiar? He obviously doesn’t want to go to his high school reunion (who does?), but fate conspires to get him there anyway. Naturally, there’s some unresolved business with a former girlfriend, concerns about what he will say to his former classmates (“I’m a pet psychiatrist…I sell couch insurance…I’m not married, I don’t have kids, I’d blow your head off if someone paid me enough…”), a former best friend who’s sold-out and a childhood home now occupied by an Ultimart (“you can never go home again, but apparently you can shop there…”). Martin soul searches, delivers some great 20s-angst lines (“I’ve always felt very temporary about myself…”) and finally attends the reunion where he has a spiritual moment holding a baby, a moment of peace with the former jock/bully, a sexy moment in the nurse’s office with the ex and confronts one of his career problems in the high school hallway. The beauty here is that it turns out Martin has “a sneaking dark suspicion that there’s meaning to life” and that, ultimately, might be at the core of the 20s life crisis, the catalyst and remedy both. \u003cem>Grosse Pointe Blank\u003c/em> is hilarious, relevant and impeccably-sound-tracked with The Specials, Siouxsie and the Banshees, Echo and the Bunnymen and Faith No More. It’s a timeless Saturn Return tale that will have everyone feeling better in no time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>\u003ca href=\"http://blogs.kqed.org/pop/author/davealoi/\" target=\"_blank\">David Aloi\u003c/a>, 29: \u003cem>\u003ca href=\"http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0181875/?ref_=sr_1\" target=\"_blank\">Almost Famous\u003c/a> \u003c/em>(2000) \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"single-video\">[youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vmVaCbxkd34&w=560&h=315]\u003c/div>\n\u003cp>I am 29.

The Christmas tree goes up, comes down, goes up, comes down. I read an article once by author Lorrie Moore who was explaining why the characters of her stories are always around 20. She cited a study that found in terms of perception of time gone by, the length of time from age 0 to 20 is equal to the length of time from 20 to death. Ugh, slow down! My favorite part of this clip is towards the end, when young William caresses the album covers, discovering music he will turn to the rest of his life. He touches Jimi Hendrix, Bob Dylan. And then there’s Joni Mitchell, who I am currently rediscovering.

Though I’ve never had the unique circumstance of extreme sleepwalking, Mike Bribiglia and I do have quite a bit in common. For me, too, my late 20s were a time of dramatic transition. Suddenly, it was time to face the music, to face the person who loved me and was willing to share his life with me and to face myself and just be super honest. \u003cem>Sleepwalk With Me\u003c/em> eloquently describes exactly what it's like to be in that moment when both sides of your heart are being tugged in opposite directions. In that moment where it feels like the next decision you make will decide the course of your life. Hey, sometimes you gotta zig or zag, Mike and I both finally understand that. Thankfully, the film is funny, which takes the edge off all that serious pondering. So even if your personal psychosis never leads you to sleepwalk through a window two stories up, something tells me you’ll be able to relate to Bribiglia’s honest reflection of the moment he took control of his life.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>\u003ca href=\"http://www.thebolditalic.com/contributors/tonybravo\" target=\"_blank\">Tony Bravo\u003c/a>, 28: \u003cem>\u003ca href=\"http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0222850/?ref_=sr_2\" target=\"_blank\">The Broken Hearts Club\u003c/a> \u003c/em>(2000)\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"single-video\">[youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WZKqE-iYdT8&w=420&h=315]\u003c/div>\n\u003cp>“I’m 28 years old and the only thing I’m good at is being gay.” Dennis (played by \u003cem>Justified \u003c/em>star Timothy Olyphant), the main character in \u003cem>The Broken Hearts Club \u003c/em>bemoans at a particularly low time in his Saturn Return. After an early 20s spent exploring nightlife and the sexual smorgasbord of West Hollywood, the men of \u003cem>The Broken Hearts Clubs \u003c/em>(including one time Superman Dean Cain, Zach Braff, Andrew Keegan and Matt McGrath) are going through a uniquely gay set of crises that remain universally applicable in Saturn Return. Everyone worries about career prospects and frets about the fading light of their 20s, but for some gay men there’s a moment of realization that the promiscuous party life can’t last forever and that all those hours at the gym developed your pecs but not the heart behind them. Drugs, relationships, unrealistic standards of beauty, breakups, coming to terms with family life and coming out late all figure in \u003cem>The Broken Hearts Club\u003c/em>, but the glue of the story is the family the characters create with each other that gets them through their individual Saturn Returns. As Dennis states so clearly of his friends: “A lot of people ask me when I first knew I was gay. Fact is, I don't know. But what I do remember, what I can recall, is when I first realized it was okay. It was when I met these guys.

Not just hearing it and being like, “Yeah I get it,” but really understanding that it is down to you and only you to be happy. And also: maybe being constantly deliriously ecstatic isn’t the goal anyway. This movie is about that: coming to terms with the fact that your life isn’t going to be a magical movie. Just because you find someone you really like doesn’t mean all your problems are going to disappear. And the other thing is: that’s okay. The real change that happened when I turned 30?

I'm really immature sometimes and never truly got over leaving college (an oasis of sleeping in and using the new things I learned to feel superior to everyone on \u003cem>Teen Jeopardy\u003c/em>) and they're all advanced enough to answer the phone with John Steinbeck quips and be promoted to manager at the Gap so we're basically on the same page. This movie follows the lives of recent grads played by Winona Ryder (the only thing she's guilty of stealing is my heart), Ethan Hawke and Janeane Garofalo, and perfectly captures the sense of feeling lost and nostalgic and overwhelmed, all traits that the return of Saturn brings to the forefront. Am I stuck at this dead-end job forever? Am I kissing the right guy to \"Baby, I Love Your Way?\" Am I destined to use my father's gas card to feed myself forever? Am I just doomed? I watched this movie to get over leaving high school (it was a repressive Catholic school full of mean white people so I'm not sure what I was so upset about). It also helped me get over the end of my study abroad program and the end of college and the end of a relationship and that time I had to give up my cats and it will undoubtedly help me navigate through this epic Saturn Return, which is set to destroy everything around me until 2015.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Why is watching this movie so therapeutic? Well, because it proves the point that no matter how smart you are, you might not remember \u003ca href=\"http://www.anyclip.com/movies/reality-bites/job-interviews/#!quotes/\" target=\"_blank\">the definition of irony\u003c/a> when it really matters and that moment doesn't define you, or that sometimes your inner hypochondriac convinces you that you're HIV positive and your friends don't roll their eyes, but hold your hand instead, or you come out to your mom, even though it might mean losing her forever, because being happy with yourself is more important than making anyone else happy, or that there are times when you love someone so much that you do everything wrong, but they forgive you anyway and you guys kiss on the lawn and move in together and order pizza and stuff...and on and on and on. All of these characters are flailing and in transition and afraid, but their stories prove that meltdowns are universal, educational, and essential to becoming who you're meant to be and that, no matter how traumatic that process feels, it's only a matter of time before you're reminded of how great life truly is, presumably while \u003ca href=\"http://youtu.be/SQVw58aDt3Y\" target=\"_blank\">cutting it up to \"My Sharona\" in a gas station with your best friends\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>So there you have it.

Martin Blank (an especially charming and hot John Cusack) is a freelance hitman who gets invited to his 10-year high school reunion right when he’s feeling twinges of uncertainty about his life. At 28, Martin’s got all the trappings of a full-on 20s existential life crisis. Early on, he tells his therapist, “I’m feeling uneasy, man…I’m dispassionate, bored, ill at ease, I’ve got problems at work, it’s hard to sustain a good mood…” Any of that sound familiar? He obviously doesn’t want to go to his high school reunion (who does?), but fate conspires to get him there anyway. Naturally, there’s some unresolved business with a former girlfriend, concerns about what he will say to his former classmates (“I’m a pet psychiatrist…I sell couch insurance…I’m not married, I don’t have kids, I’d blow your head off if someone paid me enough…”), a former best friend who’s sold-out and a childhood home now occupied by an Ultimart (“you can never go home again, but apparently you can shop there…”). Martin soul searches, delivers some great 20s-angst lines (“I’ve always felt very temporary about myself…”) and finally attends the reunion where he has a spiritual moment holding a baby, a moment of peace with the former jock/bully, a sexy moment in the nurse’s office with the ex and confronts one of his career problems in the high school hallway. The beauty here is that it turns out Martin has “a sneaking dark suspicion that there’s meaning to life” and that, ultimately, might be at the core of the 20s life crisis, the catalyst and remedy both. \u003cem>Grosse Pointe Blank\u003c/em> is hilarious, relevant and impeccably-sound-tracked with The Specials, Siouxsie and the Banshees, Echo and the Bunnymen and Faith No More. It’s a timeless Saturn Return tale that will have everyone feeling better in no time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"fullwidth"},"numeric":["fullwidth"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>\u003ca href=\"http://blogs.kqed.org/pop/author/davealoi/\" target=\"_blank\">David Aloi\u003c/a>, 29: \u003cem>\u003ca href=\"http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0181875/?ref_=sr_1\" target=\"_blank\">Almost Famous\u003c/a> \u003c/em>(2000) \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"single-video\">\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutube'>\n \u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutubeInside'>\n \u003ciframe\n loading='lazy'\n class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__youtubePlayer'\n type='text/html'\n src='//www.youtube.com/embed/vmVaCbxkd34'\n title='//www.youtube.com/embed/vmVaCbxkd34'\n allowfullscreen='true'\n style='border:0;'>\u003c/iframe>\n \u003c/span>\n \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/div>\n\u003cp>I am 29.

Although Elaine, Anita and William are clearly of different ages, they are all realizing one thing: time is happening. As my late twenties come to a close, I am so much more aware of time happening. The Christmas tree goes up, comes down, goes up, comes down. I read an article once by author Lorrie Moore who was explaining why the characters of her stories are always around 20. She cited a study that found in terms of perception of time gone by, the length of time from age 0 to 20 is equal to the length of time from 20 to death. Ugh, slow down! My favorite part of this clip is towards the end, when young William caresses the album covers, discovering music he will turn to the rest of his life. He touches Jimi Hendrix, Bob Dylan. And then there’s Joni Mitchell, who I am currently rediscovering.

Suddenly, it was time to face the music, to face the person who loved me and was willing to share his life with me and to face myself and just be super honest. \u003cem>Sleepwalk With Me\u003c/em> eloquently describes exactly what it's like to be in that moment when both sides of your heart are being tugged in opposite directions. In that moment where it feels like the next decision you make will decide the course of your life. Hey, sometimes you gotta zig or zag, Mike and I both finally understand that. Thankfully, the film is funny, which takes the edge off all that serious pondering.

Everyone worries about career prospects and frets about the fading light of their 20s, but for some gay men there’s a moment of realization that the promiscuous party life can’t last forever and that all those hours at the gym developed your pecs but not the heart behind them. Drugs, relationships, unrealistic standards of beauty, breakups, coming to terms with family life and coming out late all figure in \u003cem>The Broken Hearts Club\u003c/em>, but the glue of the story is the family the characters create with each other that gets them through their individual Saturn Returns. As Dennis states so clearly of his friends: “A lot of people ask me when I first knew I was gay. Fact is, I don't know.

And also: maybe being constantly deliriously ecstatic isn’t the goal anyway. This movie is about that: coming to terms with the fact that your life isn’t going to be a magical movie. Just because you find someone you really like doesn’t mean all your problems are going to disappear. And the other thing is: that’s okay. The real change that happened when I turned 30?

Youth, because none of us really want to ever grow up, and in the movies you don't have to.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>\u003ca href=\"http://blogs.kqed.org/pop/author/emmanuelhapsis/\" target=\"_blank\">Emmanuel Hapsis\u003c/a>, 28: \u003ca href=\"http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0110950/\" target=\"_blank\">\u003cem>Reality Bites\u003c/em>\u003c/a>\u003cem> \u003c/em>(1994)\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://25.media.tumblr.com/6bcaddef8d70ba4dcb701c22dd18ff32/tumblr_mhekt0ROQ71rr14f4o1_500.jpg\">\u003cimg class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"http://25.media.tumblr.com/6bcaddef8d70ba4dcb701c22dd18ff32/tumblr_mhekt0ROQ71rr14f4o1_500.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"462\">\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So what if the characters in this classic quarter-life-crisis gem aren't actually in their late 20s? I'm really immature sometimes and never truly got over leaving college (an oasis of sleeping in and using the new things I learned to feel superior to everyone on \u003cem>Teen Jeopardy\u003c/em>) and they're all advanced enough to answer the phone with John Steinbeck quips and be promoted to manager at the Gap so we're basically on the same page. This movie follows the lives of recent grads played by Winona Ryder (the only thing she's guilty of stealing is my heart), Ethan Hawke and Janeane Garofalo, and perfectly captures the sense of feeling lost and nostalgic and overwhelmed, all traits that the return of Saturn brings to the forefront. Am I stuck at this dead-end job forever? Am I kissing the right guy to \"Baby, I Love Your Way?\" Am I destined to use my father's gas card to feed myself forever? Am I just doomed? I watched this movie to get over leaving high school (it was a repressive Catholic school full of mean white people so I'm not sure what I was so upset about). It also helped me get over the end of my study abroad program and the end of college and the end of a relationship and that time I had to give up my cats and it will undoubtedly help me navigate through this epic Saturn Return, which is set to destroy everything around me until 2015.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Why is watching this movie so therapeutic? Well, because it proves the point that no matter how smart you are, you might not remember \u003ca href=\"http://www.anyclip.com/movies/reality-bites/job-interviews/#!quotes/\" target=\"_blank\">the definition of irony\u003c/a> when it really matters and that moment doesn't define you, or that sometimes your inner hypochondriac convinces you that you're HIV positive and your friends don't roll their eyes, but hold your hand instead, or you come out to your mom, even though it might mean losing her forever, because being happy with yourself is more important than making anyone else happy, or that there are times when you love someone so much that you do everything wrong, but they forgive you anyway and you guys kiss on the lawn and move in together and order pizza and stuff...and on and on and on. All of these characters are flailing and in transition and afraid, but their stories prove that meltdowns are universal, educational, and essential to becoming who you're meant to be and that, no matter how traumatic that process feels, it's only a matter of time before you're reminded of how great life truly is, presumably while \u003ca href=\"http://youtu.be/SQVw58aDt3Y\" target=\"_blank\">cutting it up to \"My Sharona\" in a gas station with your best friends\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"floatright"},"numeric":["floatright"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>So there you have it.
