    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.

        Sometimes I laugh because it keeps me from crying.

        Sidenote: I am often told that I laugh too much.

    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.
    source
    • blarghly@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      I mean, I feel like the real lesson from Office Space is the importance of having an exit strategy.

      People work in grey cubicals or Applebee’s because they feel like they don’t have a choice. Everyone in these jobs is unhappy, because if they believed in their ability to find happiness elsewhere they would already be gone.

        I set low initial expectations at my job, automated and simplified nearly every task. I work less than 20 hours a week on average. I have time for basically all my hobbies and get to spend tons of time with my kid and wife. It may be a grey cubicle and annoying but it pays well and i can get fulfillment elsewhere. Feel like anybody trying to get fulfilling experiences from work is looking at the picture upside down

    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)

        I honestly get where they were coming from. My “I couldn’t finish it because it made me too sad” was oyasumi punpun

        I only finished the second of 13 total volumes and I wasn’t tearing up or anything, but I developed a sense of… dysphoric dread, I guess, from reading it

      Had the same thing happen to me with the movie Hereditary (although I later finished watching it, because of the praise it was getting). I thought “Yeah it’s good, but why would people watch this, why would they do this to themselves?”.

      I never understood miseryporn and honestly MFW people are enjoying it:

        Midsommar left me depressed for about a week, so I emotionally detached myself while watching Hereditary by playing on my phone lol. I totally skipped Beau is Afraid.

      I hated just about everyone in The Whale. Everyone who was enabling him was an accomplice to a murder, in my opinion. I also found the main character to be so revolting that I couldn’t muster much sympathy beyond my aforementioned blame towards his enablers.

      I love challenging media, but that one had nearly nothing redeemable about it. I’d rather have a crack problem than a food problem after seeing that movie.

      source
      • Duamerthrax@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

        I wondering if I should just never see that movie. I know a whole household of co-enablers that I’m trying to distance myself from. Three people have died from being overweight so far since I’ve met them and a fourth collapsed and shit himself while at my place in what looked like a diabetic shock. He then had the nerve to criticize my home.

      This is not a movie I’d recommend for that.

    Unironically, Street Fighter. That scene where he says, “For you, the day Bison graced your village was one of the most important days of your life. But for me, it was Tuesday.”

    I think about it a lot in dealing with other people. It was supposed to make him sound like even more of a jerk, but I actually think it’s a good commentary on what it’s like to deal with the public. Imagine being a doctor. Sometimes, you get to deliver good news. Sometimes bad. Sometimes you can do something, and sometimes you just can’t. If the doctor tried to care as much as the patients, they’d be emotionally destroyed in short order. For them, it HAS to just be a Tuesday.

      Mad Men: I feel bad for you. I don’t think about you at all.

      Similar vibe, but I think about this scene/meme a lot as well.

      Likewise, Don Draper is being an asshole in the scene. But, in reality most people don’t think about you.

      They could say something that offended you. They are going to forget about it. So there is no need to be upset, chances are they forgot about it.

      You could say something dumb or embarrassing. People are going to forget almost immediately.

    Note how anon states they weigh the same, but they feel healthier. Being healthy isn’t about looking like a model, being healthy is about literally being healthy. You don’t need to do crazy ass workouts, chug protein mixes, and gain muscle like a TV star on steroids. You just need to get enough cardio in your day (or throughout the week) from chill/fun activities (biking, swimming, dancing) and have a balanced diet to do your body right. Don’t fucking starve yourself please, you look fine the way your are ♥️

      Even though you misread the comment as a fat fuck, I have to reply to you and say, fuck spreading whatever idea you are spreading.

      Your comment reads like a delusional HAES cult members.

      Being obese is objectively worse for your quality of life and your longevity, just because someone wants to better themselves doesn’t mean they do it to look like a model.

      Your comment is objectively wrong, putting on muscle is by far the best way to increase your health and longevity, not doing cardio.

    Renfield.

    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 abusers 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.

        That’s funny, I found it terribly sad, with a distant backdrop of optimism. Given that it was an allegory, set within a mashup of 3 different mythologies, I suppose it makes sense that it would have multiple interpretations. But yes, it was terribly sad, to my eye.
