And when a second Elliott Smith song came out, I was wow-ed. This movie couldn't make me any happier.
Then the third Elliott Smith song came out and I raised an eyebrow.
Brainstorming some blog ideas for today, I decided to do some research. Good Will Hunting was released in 1997. Either/Or (the Elliott Smith album that contains all of his songs from the soundtrack) was released in 1997. Coincidence? I think not!

The movie essentially was an entire advertisement for Elliott Smith, playing five of his songs from the Either/Or album. FIVE SONGS!!! FIVE!!! Don't tell me that I'm the only person surprised by this.
With such a large amount of songs, I wonder if scenes were purposely altered to fit the music . . . hmph. I mean, the man did make some pretty awesome music . . . why not?
