Hey there!
I’m a 24-year-old woman and I've never been in a “real” relationship. I’m not unattractive. I’m 6’1”, curvy, brunette, and I care about my appearance. People often say I look like a main character with my styling and dressing.
Background information: (Bear with me, you’ll see where I‘m going with this ...)
When I was 13, I met someone online (he was also 13), and we started dating. At school, I was getting bullied, and my “online” ex was my escape, my safe space. I never told him about the bullying because I wanted to enjoy our time together and keep it positive. I loved him, but after 6 years together and meeting once, we grew apart.
In 2021, I had bariatric surgery and lost 130 lbs (60 kg). I gained a lot of confidence and self-esteem.
Three years ago, I started dating someone I met in GTA V RolePlay (he was 25 at that time and I was 21). We spent nights talking , playing games, would motivate each other to go out for walks or hit the gym, shared playlists to listen to the same songs at the same time (while me liking every single song that he chose even though it’s not my taste but because knew he liked it so I loved it even more uncontrollably), watched movies and series while on calls playing and pausing at the same moments
Would look up at the moon at the same time remembering we’re looking at the same moon and hundreds of miles basically can’t separate us, no distance is so far, no time is so long, believing our two hearts were meant for each other
But there were some not-so-pretty aspects of our relationship.
He’d throw tantrums, accuse me of cheating and lying, and try to control my life. He’d contact people around me and in the game to find out “lies,” bring up the past to make me feel guilty, and project his behavior onto me. I always tried to fix it and explain myself but the problems got even worse overtime. (Btw: Been to his city where he lives and wanted to say hi, turns out he‘s never lived there, or another instance: He‘d send old pictures claiming he was at Coachella and his friend uploaded the same pic on facebook on which they tagged the location, they were on another small festival in the UK and definitely not Coachella) I guess he‘d even lie about small things expecting me to be the same as him.
I've been in therapy for three years now. I started therapy to fix myself in order for our relationship to work. After six months of dating, endless calls, and never meeting in person, we broke up.
The idea of him, us, and our future was too beautiful to let go, and I lost it after.
Also, my dad has always been emotionally unavailable, and my mom overly protective. My siblings and I were her therapists from a very young age.
My therapist is a genius. Through many sessions, they helped me realize that love was what saved my life back then and that I’m always seeking love to fill a void (that‘s why I have him the chance to manipulate me). They emphasized the need for self-love instead of seeking validation from others.
I know it’s trauma, but how?
I lost my virginity after the last break up. I’ve tried dating again. I kinda realized most of them define me by my looks, by my curves and wanting just sex. I feel like most of them can‘t imagine a relationship with me beyond that. Like I‘m not good enough for a relationship. I’ve experienced men talking to me in different stages, until we end up having sex, and from that moment on they would only call me when they feel down bad.
Now, I’m ready for a real relationship. I’m ready to fall in love again, for the honeymoon phase, for that limerence. But it just doesn’t happen when I meet someone. I get the ick so fast. I don’t feel a spark or motivation to reply, and I can’t let things evolve.
I’ve asked myself... Do I miss my ex? I thought I did until he messaged me after his breakup, and I realized I don’t miss him at all (even ghosted him lol). I’m cool with both my exes.
I also asked... Is it because I haven’t met the one yet? Or do I need someone to chase me to develop interest? I thought the right person would come someday. But even when someone treats me right, giving me the attention I need and actually chasing me, it’s the same situation after a few weeks.
I recently got diagnosed with ADHD and BPD. I don’t think they’re stopping me because it worked with both my exes.
So what is it? I want to love again. Why is my unconscious blocking it?
I’m not pressuring to find that one person. But I’m desperate, feeling like I can never love like I did before, losing hope that I’ll ever be capable of being in a relationship.
What do you think about this situation? Have you ever been in a similar situation? I‘m still continuing therapy btw. Things take time. This topic is pretty much complex and I guess reading from people who can relate is a form of therapy as well. Do you have any suggestions?
Thanks for bearing with me, guys. Thanks for reading and taking the time. I truly appreciate it.

I think Ascended Astarion discourse is BORING, I love seeing adults on the internet argue about the dnd video game but I am sick of hearing the same arguments about whether the fictional middle-aged vampire is abusive or not. That’s why I have come up with a new exciting discourse for this Fandom to spice things up, please everyone tell each other to kys over their opinions in the comments.

• Is Astarion x any character that isn’t Halsin problematic because of the age gap OR is Astarion x any character problematic because Astarion got turned when he was in his late thirties making him an elf minor? (elves reach adulthood when they turn 100)
  
• Are druids appropriating furry culture?
  
• If Wyll and Astarion had a kid would it be a Cambion, Dhampir, or a mix of both?
  
• What Warrior Cats character did ShadowHeart become obsessed with when she was 13 (she was totally a Warrior Cats kid)
  
• If you had to make a fan cast of iasip using only the bg3 villains who would be who?
  
• If John Kramer existed in the bg3 universe who would he most want to “test” and why (I think it would be Gale)
  
• To add to that, would you have a movie date night with your favorite BG3 character if Durge was third wheeling (Durge will not hurt you but you will be watching Saw 2 and Durge will excuse himself half way through and loudly jerk off in the bathroom)
  
• This isn't a topic but more of an idea, I think everyone should start transvestigating someone IDK who though
  
• Since Raphael bought Gortash as a child would a "I was sold to 1 direction" inspired fanfiction be canon compliant?
  

And finally, if you get sick of fighting online about bg3, you can always make gross speculations about real people’s personal lives. Why don’t we all start off by speculating on people's sexualities, I don’t think you guys should be basic bitches so instead of being gaylors I would recommend calling Hideo Kojima gay.

Hi there, this is me! 🙂

I am Clara, 30F, 5'1 from Manila, Philippines (GMT+8) I am an outdoorsy and homebuddy. When I am feeling adventurous I do camping, hiking, surfing, and free diving. When I am at home I love reading, listening to music, watching movies or series, cooking, and cleaning the apartment.
•I love music. I listen to pretty much anything but mostly into pop, kpop, jpop, indie, opm, rnb, alternative and modern rock, and jazz. I especially like The 1975, Artic Monkeys, Eyedress, and Cigarettes After Sex. I'm sure you are getting my vibe from there.
•I have few tatts and piercings.
•I love memes and puns. Just a good laugh makes a lot of difference.
•I like trying new hobbies. I recently tried pottery and loved it!
•I have cats and a dog 💗💗 we can exchange pet pics if you like
•I'm into English Football (COYG ❤️🤍)

Everything about it was fucking awesome. I don't know how else to describe it.
There's not a thing I disliked or have complaints about. None. It's a perfect film, just like Fury Road.
I also watched it at 3 pm so I only paid $6 for the movie ticket.
I will buy the physical copy when it releases and I'm gonna watch it over and over again.
George Miller has done it again.

Is there a group of people that go out and watch movies? Looking for a group I can join.

I (Scorpio f) have been seeing someone (Aquarius m) for awhile now. We're not serious by any means, we see each other every now and then, hook up, and spend the rest of the time talking/watching movies, whatever. I enjoy our time together & I don't have an issue with there being no label.
One night he told me about his time he spent in another state, a trip he took with a friend & basically they met up with girls, and there was drama regarding his friend and the girl he was with- which is how this conversation came ab. Supposedly he left & went to sleep early, even though it was 2&2. It makes 0 sense why he would leave all 3 drinking and go to sleep. I can NOT bring myself to see this man again since l've heard this. It bothers me so much, even though I don't have that much of a right to be.
I'm wondering if any other Scorpios can relate to this kind of switch like jealously. I felt like I could spend every weekend together, to avoiding all texts. I want to overlook this too but I can't bring myself to follow through with seeing him & get tf over it! (Posted this before but forgot to add info)

When you criticize the ending of the show and you get met with "Well it's supposed to be realistic" Like just because it's a realistic ending doesn't mean you're not allowed to criticize it? And I'm so tired of the excessive defending of "realistic endings". Obviously I dont want some crazy fantasy fairytale ending either. But you're telling me I watched 7 seasons and 4 near movie length episodes (350+ hours), just to watch Paris go through a divorce with a perfectly fine partner, Michelle and Sookie leaving the inn all together, Lorelai and Luke having a crappy relationship, and Rory being a mistress??? Seriously??
Certain things I can understand being realistic. Such as Rory's personality. It makes sense after being handed everything in life for so long she would become an entitled person in the future. But what exactly was the point of having that whole sleeping with Dean plot if she was going to learn absolutely nothing from it at all. She doesn't even learn from sleeping with Logan when he's engaged and shows no remorse for his fiance whatsoever.
Like be fr, did Michelle and Sookie NEED to leave the Inn? Did Paris NEED to get divorced? Did Lorelai and Luke NEED to hide things from each other. Absolutely not. This might be an unpopular opinion but, "realistic endings" are lazier than good endings. The writer just threw in a bunch of crappy circumstances for each character and called it realistic. Circumstances that don't even make sense with the characters. (Why are Paris and Doyle divorced when they were extremely compatible and had a perfectly fine relationship?).
Writing a positive ending takes a lot more skill and precision. Writing an ending where it makes sense why the characters were able to end the show in a positive stage in their life. Where the characters are still complex and have flaws but their growth is visible. Where the characters have faced adverse circumstances but ultimately learn from them and feel complicated emotions about their actions.
But nope, that's not the ending of this show. Instead we get empty headed Rory who despite knowing how much cheating hurts and seeing the pain she has inflicted before on people in the past when she cheats, feels absolutely no sympathy for Logan's fiance. Logan, who had spent so long feeling negatively towards the way he was pushed into a lifestyle he didn't want by his father, now accepts it with no feelings of regret or desire to do anything else besides some corporate job. And Luke and Lorelai who have the exact same issues they had 10 years ago with no clear confrontation of the problem besides Lorelai's boring hiking side plot.

some thoughts about the new Shadow of the Erd tree story trailer...
== in the story trailer at 0:40, everyone is saying that this is mostly the foundation of the Erd tree because of the piled up bodies in that scene and we know that the Erd tree roots contains of dead bodies,, to which i don't disagree. but could this also be like a gateway to the lands between? the way the sky is dark and gloomy on both sides and there is this twilight beyond this opening in the middle,, as if it is a different world, a different land in "between" the shadow lands around it.
== also in the story trailer between 0:53 and 1:12, the way the wicker men are moving and wreaking havoc looks so similar to the rumbling from Attack on Titan, could this scene be inspired by it? or maybe the whole design of the wicker men is not only inspired by.. wicker men, but also other ideas, one of them is the colossal titans from Attack on titan?
== again, in the story trailer at 2:13, this scene is showing st. Trina (mostly her) drowning. which is very similar to the scene from the ending of the movie "angel's egg", for those who don't know it or those who do, if you go check the movie at 59:25, in that scene the main character, the girl is drowning and turning into a woman. these two scenes are maybe not identical, but i think that the drowning scene of st. Trina shown in the trailer was inspired by the drowning scene of the girl in Angel's egg.
== hot take/theory,, Miquella influenced queen Marika to break the elden ring, either directly by bewitching her, or indirectly by being the real mastermind behind the night of the black knifes, that caused her to break it as a result. which leads me to believe that Miquella is actually the mastermind behind all the events that took place in elden ring, that everything that happened was according to his plan. from the stealing of the rune of death from Maliketh, the night of the black knives and the breaking of the elden ring then the shattering wars, even being kidnapped by Mohg. bringing back the tarnished to the lands between, helping and guiding them indirectly through Melina and other means in their journey to become elden lord or else. all to rid the world of the greater will and the influence of the outer gods and cure the afflictions caused by them, and to bring back death to the world. either because he is secretly ambitious to ascend to godhood, or only because he sees no other way he can really help the low and the meek and those without grace. and this theory can work in both cases, whether Miquella is really kind and wants good for the land between even if he would sacrifice himself, or he is actually evil and only cares about his own best interest no matter who or what he will sacrifice to serve his goals. maybe thats why, he is the most fearsome Empyrean of all.
== am i the only one who thinks that Messmer is a lord of the Frenzied flame? i know that i 'm 99.99% wrong about this, but hear me out..
-- first, i know that it is widely believed that Messmer at some point has partaken in dragon Communion because of how his right eye looks and his attire in general, or that he is into blasphemy and stuff like Rykard because o the snakes he is carrying, but even if that is the case, who said that you can't do both, why can't you partake in dragon communion then later on be influenced by the frenzied flame? who said that snakes are only related to blasphemy and nothing else? especially, that Messmer's snakes look nothing at all like the god devouring snake. why can't they be related to the frenzied flame?
-- second, the way the "snake flames" in the story trailer at 1:08 are moving is very similar to some of the frenzied flame incantations, specifically "unendurable frenzy" and "the flame of frenzy". now i know that they don't look or move exactly the same, but considering that we use the frenzied flame incantations on enemies that are usually on the same ground level like us and significantly close to us, unlike Messmer who is standing on a cliff and using these flames on the far below battle field, so the flames have more time an distance to dance around like snakes. and who knows, we are getting new weapons and incantations in the dlc, so these snake like flames can be a new frenzied flame incantation.
-- third, the frenzied flame sigil has three main heads, a short one on the left that is split into three , the biggest one of them is leaning to the right, a long one in the middle leaning to the left and another short one on the right that is split into two smaller heads, the left one is leaning left and the right one is leaning right. now if we look at the flame symbol on Messmer's sigil, it also contains of three main heads, a short one on the left that is leaning to the right, a long one in the middle leaning to the left and another short one on the right that is split into two smaller heads, the left one is leaning left and the right one is leaning right. considering the different art styles that are used to draw the frenzied flame sigil and flame symbol on Messmer's sigil that makes them look different, they are actually very similar to each other, if not the same.
-- forth, Melina.. now this one is based on the sole assumption that the woman who is sitting in the battlefield and holding a spear in the story trailer at 1:13 is indeed Melina. so, one of the things that always poked my interest about Melina was her relation to the frenzied flame. i have always wondered.. out of all the outer gods, why is it the frenzied flame in particular that Melina seemed to be afraid of and hate so much? to me it always felt more than just "it's pure chaos and it will make the lands lifeless", she didn't just know what the frenzied flame can do, but to her, it was much more personal than that, she have seen it before, she was affected by it, she lost everything and everyone she held dear to it. and there,, she sat on the battlefield amidst the chaos and destruction, defeated, holding the spear that was left to her by her mother, the gloom eyed queen. watching the frenzied flame, Messmer's flame burning everything around her, then she herself was burned by it. then somehow and for some reason, she was spared or brought back to life, and she was branded with a tattoo of the three fingers over her right eye, to add insult to injury, to summarize this last point.. the woman in the battlefield for sure hates Messmer and his flame, assuming that this woman is Melina, and we know already how much Melina hates the frenzied flame, then it is not much of a stretch to conclude that messmer's flame is the frenzied flame.
anyways, these were some thoughts that i had since the story trailer came out. as i said they are mostly incorrect, but thank you all the same if you are here and you read the whole thing.

I’m 30 M living in London.
I’ve had bouts of depression for a number of years but it’s felt worse lately. It feels like in years gone by I could push through and build up confidence and belief in myself to get myself back on track.
Now I’ve been out of work for around 8 months after I quit a job as a content writer job at a finance company. I hate writing about finance, it’s something I started doing to pay the bills and now it feels like I’m stuck.
I’d like to say I’d prefer to write about something else but I couldn’t even tell you what it was if I tried. I both love and hate writing, I like it because I’m good at it, I hate it because I hate myself. Lots of writers see themselves in their words - I see all of the possibilities for a greater piece of writing by someone more skilled than me. Comparison, they say, is the thief of joy. I know this, but it doesn’t stop me.
I’m also a master procrastinator, but I’m reaching my limits.
Over the last 12 years of my life, I have mastered the art of distracting myself with video games, tv shows and movies, masturbation, alcohol, weed, sex, relationships, sleep, eating and whatever else.
I should explain that this is what I do 15 hours of every day. I fry my brain so it’s numb to sadness. The only problem is this leaves little room for growth. Sure, I’m a well watched cinephile, but it when it’s your only diet for existence, the challenges of real life feel overwhelming.
I want to make changes, but feel like a slave to my own insecurities and fears to break out and be uncomfortable .

We purchased this limited edition 4k on Arrow some time ago and finally brought it out this Memorial Day weekend.
While I know we had seen it a loooong time ago, probably a Blockbuster rental, because I am a huge Neve Campbell fan and have been since Party of Five. It did not really ring too much of a bell as we started to watch.
Roger Ebert described this film as “lurid trash”…”a softcore sex film, a soap opera and a B-grade noir” and he’s not wrong. The setting was absolutely gorgeous. When we first saw the film I had not been to Florida, nor had I put in my 14 years of living in South East Texas, where you can peel the summer air off starting in May all the way through November. The line between the haves and the have-nots is not one you cross, not back in 1998, and not now.
Kelly Van Ryan has everything she could ever want. Suzie Toller is a delinquent. They both go to school where the guidance counselor, handsome and young Sam Lambardo, works. They get into a bit of a mess, the three of them, and what exactly happened, and why it happened, remains unclear.
Detective Ray Duquette and his partner, Gloria Perez investigate the situation and try to figure out who did what to whom. The story twists, turns, and goes so many directions that by the end, you are still wondering if something else will end up coming to light.
The acting was not great, especially on the parts of the supporting cast. It was alternatively soap-opera over dramatic to as wooden as a puppet.
Filmed at Ransom Everglades High School in Coconut Grove, Miami, due to the school's architecture and scenic setting. The film also captured the natural splendor in Bill Baggs Cape Florida State Park in Key Biscayne and Oleta River State Park. The clarity and color that comes through in the 4k makes it worth the cost of the limited edition, for sure.
Zedd and I discussed the film and he noted that it was clear that the actors obviously knew what they were filming was a bit of a cinematic joke, but that they approached it with a lightness and sense of humor that is difficult to find these days, no one was taking themselves too seriously.
I agree, a teacher doing what Lombardo was accused of doing would probably not be the subject of a sexy film these days. Certainly not one with a threesome, nor so much nudity of “teen girls” in a mainstream, big release like this.
Without giving too much away, the film is fast-paced, beautifully filmed, and worth a watch. We are not by any means talking cinematic masterpiece, it’s definitely a fun way to spend an afternoon.
Zedd and I have a rule that if we add a film to the collection that has a theatrical and an extended (director’s, unrated, etc.) edition, that we watch the theatrical cut first. So we are looking forward to watching the “unrated” version later this summer, as this sure as heck feels like a hot, sultry, late summer film.
Meanwhile, after a Memorial Day weekend that included heat indexes of 116 degrees, Zedd and I will continue to Movie On through our own “hibernation period” here in South East Texas, from just about May to November, we really lean on our movie collection as it becomes entirely inhospitable outside. Peel off the air, indeed!

My wife is trying to remember the name of a Netflix horror movie she watched a few years ago. All she remembers is one scene that had a really creepy woman looking at the camera and a tv. She said she also remembers it had a lot of the color purple. I know it’s not much to go on, does anyone know what movie she might be thinking of?

Hi there, this is me! 🙂
https://imgur.com/gallery/CaCS3L9
I am Clara, 30F, 5'1 from Manila, Philippines (GMT+8) I am an outdoorsy and homebuddy. When I am feeling adventurous I do camping, hiking, surfing, and free diving. When I am at home I love reading, listening to music, watching movies or series, cooking, and cleaning the apartment.
•I love music. I listen to pretty much anything but mostly into pop, kpop, jpop, indie, opm, rnb, alternative and modern rock, and jazz. I especially like The 1975, Artic Monkeys, Eyedress, and Cigarettes After Sex. I'm sure you are getting my vibe from there.

•I have cats and a dog 💗💗 we can exchange pet pics if you like
•I'm into English Football (COYG ❤️🤍)

This sounds horrible and it is but I’m very angry right now and need to let it out. My boyfriend just got in an argument with me over the DUMBEST thing.
Basically earlier he asked if I wanted snacks from the shop because he did, I said no, he said he didn’t want to go to the shop if I didn’t want any even if he did. Fine that’s his choice, I told him to go anyway but he felt it was pointless.
Later, I asked if he wanted to watch a movie, and he brought up that he was annoyed and thought it was inconsiderate of me to not bring up that I wanted to watch a movie earlier because if I did he would’ve went to the shop to get himself snacks.
The argument was still calm at this point, I tried to explain I’m not a mind reader, I felt he’s been extra critical of me, and that it’s a bit of an unrealistic expectation of me to be able to read into the future to know that it would be an issue that I didn’t bring up watching a movie earlier.
He got a bit more annoyed and didn’t understand why I felt like it was an unrealistic expectation and that he has a right to be annoyed at me.
There was silence for a bit and then I tired to bring up that it hurt my feeling a bit there’s this awkward silence that feels like a dumb argument, and also that my feelings are hurt because I feel he’s been extra critical of me lately (he got on at me for a lot of little things today, eg like for sleeping in, we didn’t have anywhere to be it’s just I’ve been wanting to wake up earlier).
Anyway, when I brought up my feelings were hurt I TRIED to sound as calm as possible. I didn’t shout, I tried to phrase it nicely, but admittedly I did sound a bit irritated.
Anyway, he responded in the same slightly irritated tone as mine and went “sorry… but can you just move on from it” and this really annoyed me, because it totally invalidated my feelings and felt like a non-apology. When I brought this up obviously more heated, he got heated and stormed off out of the bedroom and said he wasn’t watching a movie with me. This is what sent me over the edge.
He pushed the sofa up to the living room door so I couldn’t get in, asked me to leave him alone, I proceeded to have a go at him for like 30 mins through the door.
I know it would’ve been wiser to go and calm down, but I felt WRONGED. I meant I’ve went away now obviously but it feels so unfair to me, that he started this argument, hurt my feelings, didn’t care, and then he wins basically. He gets what he wants (to be left alone). But I don’t get what I want. I have to sit pissed off alone and not watch this movie with him, and he gets to be happy without his girlfriend he obviously doesn’t like and play video games all night (no shade to people who play video games I do too). It’s like, because I don’t get to be calm or find any enjoyment in my night I don’t want him to either. I feel like he deserves to be shouted at.
It sounds horrible as I write it and I know it’s wrong but that’s how I feel and I don’t understand why or how to get over it. Like there’s something wrong with me and how do I deal with it?
Calming down is so hard to, I don’t know if I have the humility for it. I feel whatever the female equivalent of being emasculated is if I have to walk away. I feel like if I do walk away it’s going to make him think he’s better than me or that he was right.
I know it shouldn’t be about winning or losing but that’s what it feels like. Because there isn’t a compromise between someone who wants to be left alone and someone who doesn’t.

After my partner disrespected me to his best friend in front of a group a week ago I've been trying to make mental notes of the ways I feel disrespected by him. Trying to care about myself enough to really hold on to these. Last night- got a gym membership a few weeks ago at his urging. I don't have a car currently so he assured me he'd driving me home after working out. Last night he commented how I haven't been going, and then when I told him I would go tonight he said I couldn't because he didn't want to wait around for me. Today- I've been trying to get him to see a movie with me. It involves my favorite band and he's insecure because I find them attractive. I've been asking and he says he doesn't want to "watch me cream myself over some singer" so today when I asked again via text he responded "on a related topic we need to bring xyz to friends house tomorrow" so now instead of saying no even though it's an interest/experience I want to have with him, he's just avoiding it.
How does your narc disrespct you? How do you deal with it?

The Check Out (2009): George is desperate - desperate to connect with people again. Desperate to revisit his past. And desperate to leave his mark on this puny planet before the Grim Reaper makes a fateful trailer park call.
There has surprisingly never been a post on this subreddit for one individual film of Giuseppe's... I'd love to hear people's thoughts on each of his films, and I think this would be a really interesting one to start out with. It's not one of my top favourites necessarily, but I always thought this was one of Giuseppe's most unique and humanistic films.
Featuring an elderly resident of the Ramona Mobile Home Park , Nolan Ballin, who had some previous "community theatre" acting experience... "The Check Out" is a meditation on death and the afterlife, it absolutely strikes me as one of Giuseppe's most spiritual films in a number of ways. It's a very personal film, centered around "George Ponso" (Nolan Ballin) - it seems that it was filmed not too long after Nolan's wife and love of his life Polly had passed away, and it seems likely Nolan knew he wasn't too far behind her himself.
In my opinion Nolan couldn't be any more perfect as the lead actor in "The Check Out" he has a ton of charisma in his part, and I think he did an incredible job in this "final role" at 83ish years old. He passed away a couple of years later, at the age of 85. There are a bunch of really special moments in this film, in particular the scene where Giuseppe serenades Nolan around 15 minutes into the movie, and he gets up and dances around, impressively pulling off some crazy handstands. I feel like this particular scene might be the "happiest" Giuseppe ever appeared on screen, his legitimate sense of joy in this shared experience is impossible to miss.
The whole movie feels like a series of absurd dream sequences, but they all support the overarching theme to some degree. "George" is visited by a large number of characters, including a younger version of himself, and has the opportunity to talk about his life, memories, illness, thoughts on suicide, death, inheritance, "legacy", the afterlife, religion, reincarnation and more...
"The Check Out" has a bunch of Giuseppe's usual cast of characters showing up... Giuseppe, "Ed". Marybeth, Walter Patterson, "Sir Bigfoot George", Wally Lavern, "Vietnam Ron", Tiffany Naylor, "Walt Dongo", and a handful of more minor cast members, who only showed up for a film or two towards the end of Giuseppe's "trailer park" era.
I think this might be one of Giuseppe's most altruistic films, in stark contrast to what I consider far more exploitative content like "Period Piece". I think he really showed a lot of respect and kindness to Nolan in this, and perhaps most importantly, a real sense of admiration.
The film is only 64 minutes, if you've never watched it, the whole thing is available on archive. org

Check out Bill Gibron's review at PopMatters here (the only professional movie reviewer who ever gave Giuseppe's work any attention): https://www.popmatters.com/70956-giuseppe-andrews-the-check-out-2009-2496053015.html
I think Bill (RIP) understood Giuseppe far better than most... check the couple last line of the review for a sense of his level of intuition:
"As with the case of his concerned hero, this is one director whose contribution to this world will definitely live on long after he’s left it. And that’s a kind of immortality, isn’t it?"
George Ponso: "I think my favorite subject... is change..."

This sounds horrible and it is but I’m very angry right now and need to let it out. My boyfriend just got in an argument with me over the DUMBEST thing.
Basically earlier he asked if I wanted snacks from the shop because he did, I said no, he said he didn’t want to go to the shop if I didn’t want any even if he did. Fine that’s his choice, I told him to go anyway but he felt it was pointless.
Later, I asked if he wanted to watch a movie, and he brought up that he was annoyed and thought it was inconsiderate of me to not bring up that I wanted to watch a movie earlier because if I did he would’ve went to the shop to get himself snacks.
The argument was still calm at this point, I tried to explain I’m not a mind reader, I felt he’s been extra critical of me, and that it’s a bit of an unrealistic expectation of me to be able to read into the future to know that it would be an issue that I didn’t bring up watching a movie earlier.
He got a bit more annoyed and didn’t understand why I felt like it was an unrealistic expectation and that he has a right to be annoyed at me.
There was silence for a bit and then I tired to bring up that it hurt my feeling a bit there’s this awkward silence that feels like a dumb argument, and also that my feelings are hurt because I feel he’s been extra critical of me lately (he got on at me for a lot of little things today, eg like for sleeping in, we didn’t have anywhere to be it’s just I’ve been wanting to wake up earlier).
Anyway, when I brought up my feelings were hurt I TRIED to sound as calm as possible. I didn’t shout, I tried to phrase it nicely, but admittedly I did sound a bit irritated.
Anyway, he responded in the same slightly irritated tone as mine and went “sorry… but can you just move on from it” and this really annoyed me, because it totally invalidated my feelings and felt like a non-apology. When I brought this up obviously more heated, he got heated and stormed off out of the bedroom and said he wasn’t watching a movie with me. This is what sent me over the edge.
He pushed the sofa up to the living room door so I couldn’t get in, asked me to leave him alone, I proceeded to have a go at him for like 30 mins through the door.
I know it would’ve been wiser to go and calm down, but I felt WRONGED. I meant I’ve went away now obviously but it feels so unfair to me, that he started this argument, hurt my feelings, didn’t care, and then he wins basically. He gets what he wants (to be left alone). But I don’t get what I want. I have to sit pissed off alone and not watch this movie with him, and he gets to be happy without his girlfriend he obviously doesn’t like and play video games all night (no shade to people who play video games I do too). It’s like, because I don’t get to be calm or find any enjoyment in my night I don’t want him to either. I feel like he deserves to be shouted at.
It sounds horrible as I write it and I know it’s wrong but that’s how I feel and I don’t understand why or how to get over it. Like there’s something wrong with me and how do I deal with it?
Calming down is so hard to, I don’t know if I have the humility for it. I feel whatever the female equivalent of being emasculated is if I have to walk away. I feel like if I do walk away it’s going to make him think he’s better than me or that he was right.
I know it shouldn’t be about winning or losing but that’s what it feels like. Because there isn’t a compromise between someone who wants to be left alone and someone who doesn’t.

Just had a layover in Vegas and visited all the casinos. Would be fun to watch a good casino/gambling-related movie tonight if anyone has suggestions
