Oh god, my HEART. These two and their relationship were the best best best thing about Super 8, I love the slow burn of it all. And how things that are supposed to pull them together don't, but that in the end it doesn't matter, ugh, basically this is perfect, thank you thank you for this.

(Also he doesn't want to play football!! Poor Sheriff Taylor.)

Thank you so much! Ahhh I am so glad you enjoyed it! I agree so much: Alice and Joe and that fumbling preteen attraction they had to each other was my favorite part of the movie and I had a blast messing around with that dynamic haha.

(I couldn't resist! Clear eyes, full hearts! haha)

THIS IS SO GOOD. Seriously, the best parts of Super 8 were this group of kids, and you totally captured them! ♥
