Anon watches The Whale
(sh.itjust.works)
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.
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.
I saw the Lord of the Rings as a teenager and now all I wanna do is sit around barefoot, smoke pipe and cook, eat and drink with friends. And everyone has to leave their bullshit at the door.
No wizards!
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.
That movie was extremely cathartic to watch
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.

I don't know whether to laugh or cry
Sometimes I laugh because it keeps me from crying.
Sidenote: I am often told that I laugh too much.

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.
I think Flight Club is a better idea of the right people walking away with the wrong message.
Fight Club is such a good movie. It seems like an awful lot of people don't understand it at all. The same with American Psycho. You definitely nailed it with the right people walking away with the wrong message.
Not a movie, but RATM is my favorite example of this. Or the Punisher.
Punisher badges on police equipment.....
Exactly! Cypher is the only sensible person in that whole world. /s
All he wanted was a nice steak. What's wrong with that?
Trump gives the vibes of a piece of shit steak-loving betrayer who wanted to be put back into the battery pod and be king who's ass is kissed globally
Eventually getting flushed into the gutter when the human battery's best before date passes?
Training day made me realize I wanted to be a dirty cop
Thanks for sharing your story #inspirational
flow is the best movie!
I mean, I absolutely agree. Was it life changing tho?
But if I lose weight all the people who called me a retarded fatass my entire childhood win.
If you keep the weight they'll be double right. If you lose the weight they'll only be half right!
But have you avoided getting smarter too? If not, then they've already won.
Office space started me thinking about early retirement plans.
Yep that movie is depressing, especially that traffic scene, I go through that every day. Even the changing lanes part, too relatable.

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 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.
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.

That kind of sounds like a reason to go back and finish it
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:
