They never had money for dinner, or for rent. They weren’t good at the real life shit though. You know… a Quarter-Pounder with cheese, those are good, the sky about ten minutes before it starts to rain, the moment where your laughter become a cackle… and I, I sit back and I smoke my Camel Straights and I ride my own melt.” – Troy Dyer

They were full of passion, good in bed, and were the kind of boys that you could have all-night conversations with, night after night after night. In the years that would follow Reality Bites, I would find myself falling for the intellectual slacker, the unmotivated musician, the underemployed (or unemployed), the boys who were irresponsible, often addicted, and hopelessly attractive to me. I’ve definitely had my share of guys like Troy (Ethan Hawke). I suppose I should have listened, that I should have realized that this was part of what I ended up despising, how cold and collected he seemed, how much of his emotions seemed in constant lockdown, and how much he despised any and all of my emotions.

I was in flux at the time, halfway out of a relationship and halfway in one, in that on the cusp of getting back together “place” that I would find myself in, over and over again, during my twenties. I was renting a small apartment, smoking too much, drinking coffee way, way too late most nights, and rocking Laney’s (Winona Ryder) ’90s hair. My life had some look-a-like similarities to the characters in Reality Bites that year. “comfort food” movies), when I spend time with friends who love it like I do, or when I just have a Laney, Vickie, Sammy, and Troy Dyer craving.ġ994. It is one of those movies that I often re-watch when I need to cheer up (i.e. I have lost track of how many times I’ve seen Reality Bites.
I loved Reality Bites from the first time I saw it in the theater (opening weekend).
