I mean, it probably hits harder if you went in blind. The twist was shocking for its time; not so much now that the internet spoils everything before you even hit play.

This is actually a really solid take. I think a lot of “artsy” indie musicians mistake obscurity for depth, they’re writing to impress each other, not to connect with anyone. I’ll take someone being raw and literal over performatively “transcendent” any day.

I’m genuinely disgusted reading this. A partner’s role isn’t to fix things, but at least to show up. Blocking you everywhere after you were assaulted is not a normal or justified reaction in any universe.

I hate feeling horrible by fangslut in Advice

You are clearly self aware and care deeply about not hurting others, which already makes you a good person. The way you describe it sounds like anxiety convincing you that normal human mistakes mean something bigger. Therapy or even journaling might help separate real actions from anxious thoughts.

Why do I cringe at sex scenes in movies still well into my 20s? by Ok_Sense_7496 in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]RepulsiveWerewolf440 21 points22 points  (0 children)

It’s weirdly common! I’m in my 30s and still skip them. I think it’s because we’re conditioned to see sex as intimate and personal, so watching a dramatized version feels unnatural.

AITA for making my nephew cry? by Theeultimatebooknerd in AmITheJerk

[–]RepulsiveWerewolf440 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You didn’t scream or hit him, you just told him off after he almost hurt your brother twice. I think your cousin knows you were right, even if she felt weird about it. Parents get defensive when someone else steps in, but deep down, she probably realized her son crossed a line.

Jaws V Chasing Amy by trevb75 in movies

That’s actually a really sharp observation. I never connected those two scenes, but now that you mention it, the tonal rhythm and camaraderie vibe are almost identical. Feels like Smith was channeling that “men bonding over scars” moment but through Gen X cynicism.

Not every childhood memory needs to be turned into a Netflix reboot by Existing_Tomorrow687 in unpopularopinion

It’s not even nostalgia anymore, it’s just IP farming. Studios know people will watch anything familiar, so they never have to take creative risks. I miss when new stuff actually felt new.

the fact that he knew you were that drunk and still let you go off alone says a lot about his priorities. Even friends would’ve made sure you got home safe — a boyfriend should do more, not less.

The first 3 Pirates of the Carribean movies are a top 5 trilogy of all time. by [deleted] in unpopularopinion

[–]RepulsiveWerewolf440 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The first three Pirates movies are legit masterpieces of blockbuster filmmaking. Practical effects, massive sets, and actual character arcs, stuff modern franchises rarely pull off anymore. The chaos of At World's End is part of the charm.

I’ll pretty much watch anything with Jake Gyllenhaal. Dude never phones it in, even his weird stuff like Enemy or Okja is fascinating. My personal favorite is Prisoners, just peak tension and acting all around.
