I know it's violent, campy, and corny, but it's a damn good lesson in what Narcissistic Personality Disorder is and what it does to people. It helped me frame my own abuse and trauma at the hands of abuser's NPD, in ways that helped me break free from those people later on. Moreover, once you've been victimized this way, one has a tendency to fall back into bad habits with abusers. The film just gave me something profound to recall when exercising mindfulness around this cycle, and how to exit quickly.
Similar experience for me with the Babadook. It illustrates that you will never be rid of your mental problems and trauma, that trying to be cured or normal is a fool's errand. They're things you'll have to deal with forever, and the more you confront them the less they'll control you.
The best part about this movie was the build-up to the pizzas. They shadow mention the pizzas a few times, and you see him really take down other things. Hard to watch, but when they finally DID show up. I was fucking ready to watch this guy take down two larges.
It was almost a magical moment. The movie is awesome. Everyone else refuses to watch it with me. Personally, I have only seen it once, but will take the journey with another willing human. Its a great film.
Death Race 2000 made me realize what I want to do with my life.
The Whale is probably going to be an artefact of its time very soon. Now that everyone has started on ozempic it was probably the last time they could film that story and have it be relatable/recognisable.
That's not how the drug works. It just suppresses hunger (in some people). Not all eating disorders are because of feeling hungry. People will continue to have eating disorders.
Food industry will never allow ozempic to be easily available

I saw Bladerunner as a teenager and it affected me so much I'm now a grown-ass man living in a cyberpunk dystopia. Follow your dreams.

The Matrix made me realise my whole reality was a lie and now I’m pro-Patriarchy, pro-Authoritarian and pro-conformity just like the characters.
I think people don't realize you're making fun of manosphere and alt right creators co opting the terms from the movies like red pill and others.

office space had some great eye opening lessons:
- you can say no to overtime
- some tasks are totally not important, and its insanely important to have a priority order, otherwise you go insane.

I couldn't even finish that movie and had to stop after about 30 min (not because it was bad, but just way too depressing lol)
