I found out about it last night. My girlfriend called me around 10 o'clock, so I left work immediately. If anyone asks, I was at a doctor's appointment. I mean, it was kind of freaky at first; like not until you look down you realize like, oh wow, this is real. And now concerned you're watching Alex go through stuff that like I wouldn't even touch. I felt like I was up there with him. It was beautiful to be able to just turn around and see like just the views that he has behind him, around him. It was awesome.

Oh my God, good, how are you? He made it! What happened? Look over here! Oh Jesus Christ! Oh my gosh! Well, we want to invite you to the premiere on Thursday, the red carpet! Yeah, well I had no idea it was gonna be such a good day when I woke up this morning.

The film was phenomenal! Like the cinematography was beautiful; like the whole relationship thing was just like completely different from what I expected going in. And it just made me feel a lot of things. It was wonderful all together. I thought it was amazing. It was truly inspiring, and I really want to go climb right now. Hard to put into words, but it felt so much more relatable. This guy that I looked up to and thought that the robot is a human.

I am, I am for the world right now! I'm shaking! I'm never gonna forget this night. This is one of the most incredible evenings of my entire life.
