  • I once made a list of 7 movies that fit this criteria.

    The Room, because duh. This movie is great because it is so terrible and sincerely thinks it is great. The story behind the movie is just as fantastic. If you must, get a hold of The Disaster Artist as an audio book. It is fantastic. Ignore and forget that piss tier James Franco movie that the book was based on. The book is so much better and it is hysterical to listen to in Greg’s own voice + his Tommy impressions are perfect.

    Winter’s Tale - a supposed Adaptation of a Shakespeare play or something. In reality it is the most chaotic and hilariously terrible movie I can think of, complete with terrible Colin Firth haircut and Will Smith as an edge lord Devil. And so many more great things. I had a blast watching this one.

    Jupiter Ascending. If I remember correctly, it was made by the siblings who made the Matrix and it is the most nonsensical sci-fi turd ever, but man is it funny. Unintentionally, might I add. I don’t remember much from this film other than laughing so hard I was crying.

    The Wicker Man woth Nick Cage. I love the original. That one is genuinely great and terrifying. The Nick Cage one is a clown show and no one can tell me that it isn’t funny to see Nick Cage in a bear suit, punching women.

    Show Girls. For obvious reasons. A total and utter mishandling of a very serious and at times horrific subject matter, but mishandled so poorly it surpasses being offensive and falls straight into hilarity.

    Breaking Dawn Part 2. Martin Sheens laugh. Renesmee doll that was replaced with CGI horror. Grown man imprinting on a baby. Martin Sheen’s laugh. Fakeout fight scene that made all the dead serious fangirls scream and cry in the cinema on release. “You nicknamed my daughter after the loc nest monster??” Also, Martin Sheen’s laugh.

    The Death Note Netflix Adaptation. I invited my anime friends to a watch along when this movie came out initially, because I knew what would happen when I did. The anger and outrage was interspersed with bewildered and hysterical laughter and replays of scenes that were so bad, nobody could believe their eyes. I was just there to sow the chaos at the time and harvest the reactions. It was wonderful.

    Bonus movie: Velvet Buzzsaw, but it doesn’t count because I genuinely think this one is a great satire and I genuinely enjoy the movie. It’s just that almost everybody else who’s seen it, seem to loathe it with a passion. So it’s a reverse Killers of the Flower Moon for me, where everybody seem to love it, while I think it is total and utter ass. In both cases, I am left confused at the public opinion and I will stick with mine.


  • Happy birthday! 🥳 may you have a long and happy life.

    I was around your age in 2008 and sadly it was the worst and most traumatic year of my life, but it paved the way for the happy life I live today in its own weird way, so it isn’t all bad.

    I guess that is what I will give you as an advise in life: no matter how fucked things can get, and trust me they can get really really fucked sometimes, there is always something good that can come from it. It may not happen the next year or even in year five, but the longer you hang in there and work on yourself and the direction you want your life to go in, the more you can use those terrible times as reference points for where you don’t want to end up or how you want to meet the world and it will be so rewarding. ❤️

    For me, when things suck in current day, for example, it’s okay to be angry or sad about it, but I always remind myself that I have survived worse and this shit is nothing.

    All the best to you, my friend! 🤗 have a wonderful day!


  • I’m halfway there and not really sure if I want to go the full way. I left social media, bought a bluray player and borrow movies from the library on the regular. It’s been a real bodning experience for me and my boyfriend. He even joins me on movie-hunts in the library now.

    I have considered heavily to get a button phone as well, but I literally can’t due to how the social system is set up in my country. It’s all built around the idea that everybody has a smart phone.

    My 2026 goal os to get back into reading more and start gardening now that we finally moved somewhere with a garden.

    Since January of last year I have felt a lot of stress leave my body by leaving social media and canceling subscriptions for streaming services.

    I have been considering taking the plunge into Linux as well and probably will do it eventually when I overcome the fear of fucking it up, but much like you, I have long since accepted that the part of the internet I liked and engaged with is long dead and gone and it will not come back either. I don’t know what the death nail potentially will be for me to go off grid completely. I don’t know. My job is heavily digital and built up around Apple and Google. Can’t really escape it there, which is fine. But at home, I’m slowly inching toward a more unplugged existence and I really like living like that.
