And since I’ve been reminded: Fast Times at Ridgemont High is not a good movie.
I’m curious: what are some other '80s “classics” you dislike?
(Very unpopular opinion incoming)
In my personal opinion, the 1980s were when pop culture (music especially) started to flush down the toilet. (This doesn’t mean that EVERYTHING from the era was bad, but there was, IMO, an overall decay in quality.
What really bothers me the most is the persistent obsession with 1980s pop culture.
Seriously? Will it ever end?
I think it’s because many people alive today (mainly Gen X and late Baby Boomers) were kids back then, so I believe it’s that mangy dog known as nostalgia.
There’s also the obsession with the 1990s too, mainly experienced by millennials and some of Gen Z.
However, I think the obsession with the 1980s (and, to an extent, the 1970s) partly comes from the elitism from the “back in my day” stubborn subset of some of the Baby Boomers, who think their time was better than today.
Now, not to shit on that generation, as there are plenty of sane, forward looking members, but the fact that they were called the “Me” Generation says a lot about this.
It’s pretty annoying when some people say that '80s music was better than today when the '80s had their fair share of godawful music like cheesy hair metal and some of synthpop. Same with the '70s, and to add on to this, I think jazz took a major hit in the 50s and 60s.
In fact… A lot of early rock and roll in the 50s was very repetitive, often sharing the exact same melody!!!
This also extends to movies, too (especially American film).

Whoever is behind those stupid “Hero Wars” ads that keep infesting YouTube deserves a concussion.
Stripes has very funny scenes but fails as an overall movie (especially the last act which is just boring).
I mostly agree with this. Stripes is definitely not a great film. The funniest scene for me was with Harold Ramis and the immigrants near the beginning of the movie, when the non-English speakers say their first words.
The film was, I’ll admit, quite entertaining. But it was barely funny.
Meg Myers did herself dirty. Goddamn.
Best or worst?
So that means worst, then.
God, I’m out of touch.

My old posts used to be embarassing, but now they’re kind of hilarious. (The 2016-2017 ones, not the 2020-2021 ones)
By the way, gag gag fucking Christmas gag gag being shoved down my gag throat.
If Jesus can see what Christmas has become, he’d not be happy at all.
I dunno. Cops kill lots of innocent people, too.
I know, but they’re not as bad as Nazis.
I strongly dislike the term “Grammar Nazi”. How does being obsessively corrective to someone’s grammar have anything to do with killing a lot of innocent people?
“Grammar Cop” or “Grammar Policeman” is a much more suitable term.
Here I am. Ungodly late at night, typing this out, when I should have been long asleep.
The amount that people get addicted to computers and the internet rather than using them for productive and meaningful work (made worse for people with ADHD disorders) is tragic.
The internet was peddled as a meaningful and revolutionary tool, but humans being humans, it is now corrupted by filth, lies, and addiction.
I hope that 2023 will be the best year I’ll have in a long time and I’ll be able to break free from the shackles of this disease.
Better that than videos with Tucker Carlson.
I’d say they’re equally bad.
WHY THE FUCK IS YOUTUBE RECOMMENDING ME NEWS VIDEOS ON MURDER?!?!!? I HAVEN’T EVER REALLY WATCHED VIDEOS ON MURDER!!!
Bob Dylan’s Self Portrait and Queen’s Made in Heaven get too much hate.
Few YouTube comments are worse than commenters who, when their comment gets a decent amount of likes, edit their comment to say “You’ll never know why I got so many likes”.
Most live-action superhero movies are garbage. The MCU and DCEU can both die in vault fires.
They are the pinnacle of consumerism and the bourgeoisie.
Spuffure I’m sorry if this comes off as confrontational, but if going on the internet causes you so much pain that you wish you were forced not to use the internet, why don’t you just choose to stop using the internet?
I’m sorry to say it’s not as simple as that. Not only can there be actually useful and important stuff on the internet (which I failed to mention in this last post), my ADHD and OCD often make me “relapse” and compulsively go down a downward spiral.
I remember Duracell once said something along the lines of him wishing I lived in an era where the internet doesn’t exist.
I wish it was too.
I’ve seen horrible things on this place I wish I could unsee, it’s partly ruined my life and derailed countless days. I’ve tried to get away but keep crawling back, thanks to the mental baggage I have to hold from my genetic heritage.
And I write this VERY late at night when I should be asleep.
It’s a shame. It’s a shame…
It’s sad how all the old Hollywood stars are slowly dying off, one by one.

Highlander is not a good movie.
