If this world is a simulation & I could control things, I'd reincarnate as a man in the US, born in 1947, and dying by Oct of 2019 (just enough time to watch the Avengers finale, and avoid what comes next). That was the golden time of humanity, and opportunity, especially in the '80s. I'd work as a movie producer, and paint in my free time. A partner, couple of kids, lots of cats, a man cave.

Oh, and avoid the Vietnam draft, lol.

🎬 There’s Always a Catch

Once upon a time, Netflix & Amazon paid indie filmmakers well and bought their films straight from Sundance. Now, they’ve shifted to in-house productions and mainstream content.

I guess it's a lot about mental health and that it's better to do something to improve your life than fleeing into dreams and allow these dreams to consume you to the point you're no longer here anymore.

The movie is pretty disturbing to me. Even more than most of the extrem horror movies I'm usually watching. The contrast between the real world and the button world is haunting me. The real world grey in grey (except for Coraline's hair) and loveless and the button world colourful and full of love. And then there is that BIG twist in the end. I can't imagine a better word than disturbing. Definitely not a movie for children I'd say.

I was mistaken. It wasn't the DVD, it was the BD. And it wasn't 2 3d paper goggles, it was 4 but so far I've been only using 2.

I still own the DVD I bought as soon as I was able too. Including the 2 red-green paper 3d goggles that came with it. Was that really 15 years ago? Time fucking flies!
