Need more recs that deal with the following:
>>not putting in effort to improve/be happy
on
watched picrel over the weekend and really enjoyed it, even though it isn't perfect. anything else that isn't just a cheesy romcom that deals with these things?
>not putting in effort
we can tell.
how so?
couldnt even be bothered to name the movie
no idea what the "I'm desperate" thing was about. that wasn't me. but yes it was The Secret Life Of Walter Mitty (2013). better?
Please
I'm desperate.
I knew the movie by simply seeing the thumbnail
i figured people would. thanks
c'mon guys you're making me feel ill again. part of my first post said MOVING ON. how do we deal with these things to make it better??
Even moving on is temporary
Death and suffering are the only constants
All relationships are transactional and conditional
Everything will be washed away in time
nah i believe that it is possible to be happy still. that said i just her name on my snapchat and my stomach dropped to the point of gagging again.
Are you an intensely good looking teenage or pre-teen boy? I desperately need sex. Please help me.
nope just an average dude who had the girl he wanted well within reach and couldn't get his shit together in time to make it happen. even when she wanted and waited on me. and now she's seeing someone else and i've been in shambles ever since
Do you have a puppy or a kitten? I'm desperate.
afraid not my man. my girl had 2 kitties but i'll never see them now
And you especially need sex, stay away from the animals.
I'm trying. Are you young and handsome?
Or a very young goldfish?
Bro please have sex
i know i know. this is probably what held me up from getting her. didn't have the confidence because of lack of experience. which leads to anxiety and not taking chances
I will have sex with him (or you) if he (or you) is young and handsome. I'm desperately desperate.
watch friends season 1 to see yourself from the outside (Ross). maybe you'll realize what the show writers didn't realize, that he's just acting silly and needs to meet OTHER WOMEN.
you aren't wrong. it just sucks because she liked me so much and i still couldn't get over my anxiety to make it happen. plus she was someone i could have seen myself be serious with, its not like i just wanted to frick. finding people like that is hard
Friends? Really?
it's relevant to his situation.
Maybe I'm misremembering what happens. How so?
Ross spends the entire season hung up on Rachel (an annoying c**t with no redeeming qualities), yet never makes a move. he has plenty of opportunities but keeps waiting for "the right time" which doesn't exist of course.
then in season 2 they do get together for all the wrong reasons, I can only assume test audiences liked them as a couple because I don't see it. Rachel has a terrible personality so the only conceivable reason would be that she's supposed to be hotter than she actually is. never got what anybody saw in Jennifer Aniston, she's like a 6/10 to me.
well that first sentence sounds pretty relatable. but why was he "hung up" on her if he hadn't made a move yet though?
they already knew each other back in school days and she was a stacy, he was a nerd. he would have been foolish to try back then so even though the situation had changed (he had become tall and successful) and she was attracted to him now he couldn't believe it.
Monica (true 9/10) > Phoebe (6.5/10) > Rachel (6/10) in my book
although I have to admit their personalities factor into this. Rachel is such a basic b***h that it's coloring my impression of her looks. with a good personality she could be a 7.
ahh ok i see. obviously i know they end up together in later seasons though, so i dont know if that will really help with my current mood/situation
>>she's like a 6/10
are you gay?
he's gay
3/10 would not frick unironically
gay
Nonce.
Monica is objectively ravishing. This Greek-American is really meh. Think beyond the makeup
You are me.
is that the garbage movie called walter shitty?
Also
Garden State
500 Days of Summer
I liked Walter Mitty. There's a few things I would've changed but it was enjoyable enough. Someone mentioned 500 Days of Summer before but I was scared it would be too sad and wreck me even further
thanks anon, will look up
>>>not putting in effort to improve/be happy
Before I Disappear
also forgot to mention the others on my list: Charlie Countryman
Take This Waltz
High Fidelity
What's a noni moose? A moose from somewhere in Japan? Like a kobe cow?
excuse me?
I keep hearing people referring to "a noni moose" but I have no idea what it is. When I google it I keep getting results from Cinemaphile.
The also talk about a nun but they refer to the nun as a he instead of her.
Little Miss Sunshine
this looks good. whats the tone?
Light hearted comedy with dark elements
thanks anons. i just don't want anything too depressing
never heard of this, but wow it has shit reviews
Yeah I don’t understand why it has a fricking 6% on rotten tomatoes lmao.
Maybe because critics are out of touch. I thought it was good. Dude is ready to kill himself. Decides to try and wrap things up in his hometown before he does it
sounds a little dark. i want something to make me feel better anon
You're confusing us here anon.
I recommend this as well. It's a kind of depressing/solemn family study that has some really great "feel good" moments
Pretty twee/optimistic but with some "frick you, here's a dose of reality" gut punches.
Might have aged well given that we're going off toxic positivity. Think I hated it in the cinema.
I haven’t seen this since I was too young to remember things properly, but the scene where he finds out he’s colorblind is heart rending.
Everything Everywhere all at Once gave me those vibes
i keep hearing about this one. whats the tone of it??
I'd compare it a lot to Walter Mitty. It's like a big adventure movie with tons of internal character growth though it goes harder into the sci-fi genre. It has some incredidly memorable and outlandish moments
nice this for sure sounds up my alley and doesn't have a 5% on RT like some of these people are throwing out there
yes man
thanks, this seems promising. unless its just a cheese fest where he just magically ends up getting everything he wants at the end
Might like this OP
thanks anones will look up
how so??
You need it to be depressing to get the uplifting part later
maybe so. i feel better now than i did last week. i could barely eat for the next 2 days after she told me she was seeing someone else
That’s pretty sad dude. It’s just a woman
i mean i guess. but that doesn't make the feeling go away, especially when it was my own fault. you've never made mistakes that led to extreme regret?
Yeah, that’s what drugs are for
alcohol for me. was the only way i could sleep
update: having stomach pains from hunger but still no appetite really and heartrate won't go down. wtf guys
Manchester by the Sea is not a movie you want to watch if you're looking for goodfeels
thanks for the heads up. but like
said maybe i need that? i dont know. i guess i am being confusing
Maybe you would like it then since you seem like you're in a slump. The whole movie is about moving on from trauma, but it's pretty brutal of a watch, emotionally. Great movie and acting in that regard
thanks anon, might have to wait but will put it on the list
Manchester by the Sea
This movie gave a really nice nap in the theater.
the cinematography was incredible though
WILL SOMEONE PLEASE TELL ME WHAT A NONI MOOSE IS???
ikiru
I watched this recently too and I could relate to the whole being boring and unremarkable to the point of it negatively impacting your life part, but they lost me when they made the protagonist into a pro skateboarder and used that as the jumping off point for him becoming an adventurous and assertive stoic.
i tend to agree, maybe they should've shown him fall a couple times and get back up. but i guess i did enjoy the scene where he is teaching the kickflips but his girl wasn't watching
Stand By Me is probably everything you’re looking for
great movie but i'm not seeing how this relates to the relationship aspect?
how about we get back to posting kinos that will fix my anxiety and regret boys?
Wallowing in self-pity and misery is based.
Self-improovement and fixing problems is a spook.
i don't believe that at all. what is wrong with you?
>what is wrong with you?
People keep asking me this all the time, STOP!
sorry anon. but you can't truly think wallowing in misery is the answer. and that's coming from me who has been in shambles for about 5 days now
>and that's coming from me who has been in shambles for about 5 days now
Come back after 5 years of nothing but failure, idleness, fear and negativity. It's a cope, and a bad one at that.
i'm 32 my man. finally had the chance to get what i wanted and still screwed it up. 5 years is nothing
It doesn't get any better, does it?
i mean i guess it can if you make it happen for yourself. that's the point of this thread. i'm still figuring that part out apparently
I know why my life is shit and why I'll probably never be happy, yet I choose not to change anything. I think that's the case with most anons here. At least you've made an attempt.
i suppose. yet me choosing not to change anything still resulted in my current failure even when i had the easiest chance in the world to fix it. i feel you anon.
Would you say that you hate yourself, knowing that you are primarily what's stopping you from achieving happiness and fixing your life?
i wouldn't say it's to the point of me hating myself. but it's an extremely shitty feeling yes. at least knowing how i feel now i don't think i will let it happen again
Self-hate is probably one of the worst traps to fall into since it's very hard to get out of this mindset, but it's also very hard not to fall into it at times.
What exactly happened that fricked you up recently? If you don't mind me asking.
this was me
i couldnt get out of my own way
I cannot relate unfortunately, I can't even imagine myself in a relationship with someone. It's just an unfathomable concept to me.
Things get worse with time, but like you said it can get better if you make it happen for yourself.
Oslo, August 31st is pretty kino about a man who just gives up on life after ruining his own life and trying to fix it.
i've been single my entire life also so i think "not being able to imagine it" was part of my problem even when i had it so close it would've been easy
I honestly believe that relationships are a spook, they won't fix us, they won't solve any real problems that dwell within us. But I guess that for a while it would've felt nice.
Thanks for the talk anon, take care.
i don't think you should look at it as a way to "solve problems within us". but that's just me. take care also, i still believe things can get better!
The plus side is is that it gets so much worse, so relatively you’re always having the best time you’ll have for the rest of your life. So appreciate it.
that's such a depressing outlook anon
Just a long, slow slide into the abyss anon
Whee…
the one were will ferrell loses his wife and his life falls apart starts off pretty good. i forget how it ends
not sure what this one is off hand anon
everything must go (2010)
i think the moral is people are terrible and you just need to stop caring.
synopsis sounds promising. thanks. that's really the end theme of the movie though?
at least we aren't alone. what happened to you?
i over simplified it a bit. the whole thing happens over a few days so theres no time for major self improvement. it doesnt end happily ever after so theres a lot of room for interpretation.
interesting. i might have to give this one a go sometime
I've been drinking alcohol every day for 4 weeks now since I have nothing to do
Forgetting Sarah Marshall
one of my all time favorites and i watched it right after i found out. never related to it more
