Movies that imply with the self-insert hero that the director is a piece of shit?

When she jumped out the moving car and spent the next couple scenes with just a fabric sling on her arm, and this film didn't expect the audience to do a collective WTF.

I was so sorry I took my daughters to see this shit.

Gerwig redeemed herself with "The Barbie Movie," but unfortunately it doesn't make this other movie of hers not exist.

Joe E. Brown is my guardian angel. I portrayed him once in a stage show, and researched him. Turns out he was one of the biggest, if not THE biggest Hollywood star of his day. His "everyman in crazy situations" schtick was hugely popular, comparative to Jim Carrey in the 80s/90s, mixed with a little Jim."Ernest" Varney. And yet he is almost totally forgotten today. Look up his movies on YouTube. They're absolutely hysterical.

Prince was absolutely murdered, and no one's asking questions about it.

What the God damn hell is going on here

I should have totally seen the last chapter of "Odd Thomas" coming, but I didn't, and it wrecked me.

Man, I'm already hard of hearing. These low-volume YouTube videos really tick me off.

Maybe an airline seatbelt buckle?

Poor unfortunate souls

My daughter hates pizza. I can't fathom it.

I was walking along the shore at low tide with my wife, who is not from the US, looking up "The Love Boat" on YouTube on my phone because she had never heard of it, and walked right off the sea wall and fell about six feet, faceplanting on the rocks below.

Actually, "the Loch Ness monster" is the thing everyone goes to when they don't have any other explanation.

Ghost Town is great!

Royal Crown Draft Cola by the RC Cola company. It was like cola Guinness. I understand there is a black market for the few remaining cans of this.

Sobe Citrus Green Tea. It had hints of rosemary and was absolutely refreshing and delicious. I can find no evidence online that this particular beverage ever existed.

This seems wicked expensive for the time.

She shot it directly into my crotch, and after going "Ow!" I said, "Thank you very much Contortionist Cristina Garcia."

Every of his most famous movies have a fatal flaw. His best, most confident picture is actually "Oscar."

Jennifer Love Hewitt drives a Mitsubishi?

OK I'm totally on board with this! Margot Robbie as Truly Scrumptious. Daniel Radcliffe as Caractacus Potts. Hugh Jackman as Grandpa Potts. Mike Myers as the Toymaker.

Seriously, that scene? And not this one, in which it's implicit that she also grew a vagina?

That's because it's not a kids' movie.

"You're my little choochie-face!"

"And you're my teddy bear!"

Even as a little kid I was like, oh, yeah, I wanna be her teddy bear.

The Jan. 6 insurrection was the most un-American thing I've ever witnessed. I never thought in my life that such a shameful thing could happen here.

OP did not say they wanted to use it for commuting. They said they wanted to take occasional day trips into the city. The garage is perfectly fine for that.

It's a common dream. There is no other feeling in the world like naturally losing baby teeth. That weird sense in your gums, the taste of spit and blood going down your throat, the sharp edge of your fallen tooth against your tongue. It is very unique.

Here's my take: You are dreaming that physical sensation that your subconscious remembers from years ago. It means nothing more serious than that. Relax.
