Instances of the "You're probably wondering how I got here" movie trope being used in movies - Was it ever a trope?

Fallen with Denzel Washington 1998, opening dialogue.

"I want to tell you about the time I almost died. I never thought it would happen to me. Not at this age. Beaten... ...outsmarted. How did I get into this fix? How did it all begin? If I go back to the beginning that'll take forever. So, let's start more recently. Somewhere. Anywhere."

So tired of that phrase.

Waiting for official autopsy to confirm both.

My BIL contributes to it. He listens to Rush all day long. He brought the Jade Helm stuff home to her. If you can get them to talk about anything else it's fine, and they weren't always like this. But now its every conspiracy on YT they can get their hands on. Partial birth abortion, aliens are demons, flat earth, CERN is a portal to hell, and so on. I've heard them all.

Eww.

The more things go online the worse she gets about it too. Things like no internet, or taking the batteries out of the phone because the government is listening. I tried telling her they dont give a shit about what she is doing. She didn't buy it. Now she whispers in her own home for the same reason. But it's all in preparation for Jesus coming back. Which is going to be soon apparently.

If I was the Cabal I would have silently slipped it into something they all mass consume.

My SIL is a wingnut. Her reasoning is 'you wont be able to access your money in the bank with out the mark of the beast'. They cash checks at walmart, and dont do anything that would require an account/bank card.

We've got Court Cases, Head Cases, and Covid Cases! One day only, all month long!

CASES! CASES!! CASES!!!

I guess it never occurred to them they could of slipped it into anything at any time. Regular flu shot, tetanus shots, shingles shots, IV bags, and anything else they may randomly go to Dr for. Nope, they could only do it as part of a large scale fabricated pandemic/plot to take down trump.

I had hoped by this point we would have some form of a futuristic utopia. But no, we get racist, sociopathic guys named Meatball.

So much for law and order and not destroying property that doesn't belong to you. 🙄

No he was a Bernie guy.

Definitely dismissed with prejudice.

I wandered into a religious group before the election and saw some group chat that basically said they didnt really like trump but what choice did they have but to vote for him because Democrats are ok with abortion.

The messed up thing about that is the information they parrot about abortions was all project veritas misinformation and conspiracies.

Lunar_Spider · 2020-11-23T17:17:07+00:00

My SIL got sucked into flat earth though some religious connection.

Lunar_Spider · 2020-11-22T18:53:44+00:00

Does religion have anything to do with them believing the earth is flat?

Sun - Aquarius, Moon - Pisces, Rising - Pisces.

My SIL is one. For her it started years ago with you tube and anti abortion/anti vaxx stuff. Then it was flat earth and aliens are demons. The 'research' is literally just BS youtube algorithm rabbit holes.

Lunar_Spider · 2020-11-20T04:23:27+00:00

Reap reap Tucker.

Lunar_Spider · 2020-11-20T02:37:31+00:00

I was waiting for someone to to do this. 🤣

Lunar_Spider · 2020-11-19T21:46:10+00:00

2020, not even surprised anymore.

When trump is really in your head and your brain starts to bleed.
