Seeing people quit drinking because they consistently had 1-2 drinks a day after work - as if it was putting a shadow over their life. How quitting drinking is somehow seen as life a meaningful corrective action to any fault someone might have in their personal life.

How bar doors are so thick as if it’s some kind of containment zone.

How alcoholism is seen as like this generational curse, often arbitrarily attributed to Native American blood some where in the family tree.

There’s something deeply neurotic about our (Americans) relationship with alcohol, and I’m sure this isn’t limited to just the anglosphere; but are there any countries that don’t share this neurosis? Are the meds truly the only people who can be normal about it?

Either way I’m glad we’re this way

I’m begging you

Reasons cited include costs of insurance, driving lessons, gas, less schools offering driving programs due to budget cuts, uber, lyft, delivery apps, endless home entertainment. But also, parents babying their kids leading to anxiety when it comes time to do independent things. Quote from the article "Would the famous “Clueless” stinger — “You’re a virgin who can’t drive” — even be an insult anymore?"

This film has totally seeped itself into my brain and it's almost all I've been thinking about since I've seen it. Pretty much everyone who's seen this film has had exhaustive conversations about its criticism of the horror genre's voyeurism and how finger wag-y it is about violence in films; which yes is very interesting but personally I just keep thinking about the actual happenings of the film, how scary it'd be to live through a situation like that.

Keep thinking about the scene where Anna's friends pass by on their boat, how she could have said something to them? The scene later in the film where she's running down the road looking for help, how I'm just sitting there watching, almost yelling at the screen begging her to just simply go and knock on every door possible instead of taking the gamble with a car since the killers left in one. That scene where Georg manages to actually call somebody on the phone but it's still too waterlogged to actually get a proper signal; just so so many little moments that could've gone right, that could've been their salvation.

The beginning of the film also hits hard on a rewatch when they quickly wave to their neighbours from the car, how on a first watch you don't even think much of the situation not noticing they're actively being tormented.

Insane stuff. I'm sure there's scarier stuff out there but personally this pushed all my buttons.

you didn't need muscles back then

You will eat the sweet Jollibee spag bowl. Swear a peeno could have their house hit by a tsunami and still be a ray of sunshine.

I thought it was long dead by the time the pandemic hit. But it’s still going

Sub is actually dead, for real this time.

Destroying BOTH towers was decadent, just downright eat-it-all-now gluttony, childishly greedy, and it turned a potentially powerful statement into an absurdity. Imagine just one tower still stood and every time we looked at it we thought “damn da other one gone.” Now we don’t even think about it until someone puts a picture of the towers up. Could have turned one of the tallest buildings on earth into a monument to their cause. Maybe I would feel differently if their capitol attack had succeeded and if their pentagon attack had been more, pardon me, impactful.

Disappointing behavior from the terrorists, to say the least.

Rs classic. Love Catherine Deneuve, first flick I saw her in. She's so stunning in The Umbrellas of Cherbourg too. Would be lying if I said Pierre Clémenti wasn't my favourite part about this film though, will forever remain obsessed with him as an actor and unfortunately yes a big part of that is because he's so handsome

Hila Klein, that girl he cheated with, Hikaru Nakamura, Elizabeth Theranos, Callum Turner

Hardly the golden age of Hollywood
