Unironically, Street Fighter. That scene where he says, "For you, the day Bison graced your village was one of the most important days of your life. But for me, it was Tuesday."

I think about it a lot in dealing with other people. It was supposed to make him sound like even more of a jerk, but I actually think it's a good commentary on what it's like to deal with the public. Imagine being a doctor. Sometimes, you get to deliver good news. Sometimes bad. Sometimes you can do something, and sometimes you just can't. If the doctor tried to care as much as the patients, they'd be emotionally destroyed in short order. For them, it HAS to just be a Tuesday.

Mad Men: I feel bad for you. I don't think about you at all.

Similar vibe, but I think about this scene/meme a lot as well.

Likewise, Don Draper is being an asshole in the scene. But, in reality most people don't think about you.

They could say something that offended you. They are going to forget about it. So there is no need to be upset, chances are they forgot about it.

You could say something dumb or embarrassing. People are going to forget almost immediately.

There's a scene in Scrubs about this.

Renfield.

I know it's violent, campy, and corny, but it's a damn good lesson in what Narcissistic Personality Disorder is and what it does to people. It helped me frame my own abuse and trauma at the hands of abuser's NPD, in ways that helped me break free from those people later on. Moreover, once you've been victimized this way, one has a tendency to fall back into bad habits with abusers. The film just gave me something profound to recall when exercising mindfulness around this cycle, and how to exit quickly.

Similar experience for me with the Babadook. It illustrates that you will never be rid of your mental problems and trauma, that trying to be cured or normal is a fool's errand. They're things you'll have to deal with forever, and the more you confront them the less they'll control you.

The best part about this movie was the build-up to the pizzas. They shadow mention the pizzas a few times, and you see him really take down other things. Hard to watch, but when they finally DID show up. I was fucking ready to watch this guy take down two larges.

It was almost a magical moment. The movie is awesome. Everyone else refuses to watch it with me. Personally, I have only seen it once, but will take the journey with another willing human. Its a great film.

Death Race 2000 made me realize what I want to do with my life.

But if I lose weight all the people who called me a retarded fatass my entire childhood win.

[–] _stranger_@lemmy.world 23 points 6 days ago

If you keep the weight they'll be double right. If you lose the weight they'll only be half right!

[–] ikidd@lemmy.world 6 points 6 days ago

But have you avoided getting smarter too? If not, then they've already won.
