Rewatching tv from your teen years and applying philosophical analysis, morality and ethical dilemmas as if you’re engaging with something that intended to be analysed. For example, is The Vampire Diaries a teen series about teen vampires, a love triangle and some scooby gang level shenanigans? Or, is it a delve into the psyche of characters dealt with the philosophical question: what would you do if you could live forever?, a story of the bond between two brothers, of sacrifice, of grief? Isn’t it about Stefan’s never ending and eternal love for his brother and the ends he would crawl to, what he would sacrifice, just so that his brother is happy? I think it’s both. Anyway.

Peak mess, 8 full seasons of it and a couple spinoff shows. Made no sense from the get-go and wow has it descended as the seasons have passed, but there’s something endearing about it when you’re not laughing out loud at all the plot holes, bad 10s fashion, and the classic big ballad at the end during a tense moment (think Ed Sheeran as the same characters almost or fully kiss for the first time). Like Gosip Girl and the OC, many of the episodes revolve around a nonsensical full cast party or event where peak drama develops; it’s somehow almost Founders’ Day or the decade dance at the high school these supernatural characters still sporadically attend. I regret nothing.

I’m on my 5th rewatch of One Tree Hill.
Can’t get enough of the plot holes and silly dialogue.
Don’t ask me how many times I’ve seen Vampire Diaries.

I am in my 30s and this is normal behavior. It’s so camp and the writing is terrible, makes for a laugh-out-loud time with high levels of 10s nostalgia (even though I didn’t see it the first time around)

i don't think there's something more authentic about this app than there is about, say, twitter - i be talking some shit on there and it's all pretty "authentic". i'm more concerned with how i come across online because that has always been the case since, like, biblical times (see: chatrooms in 1999). my opinion on this is that most of us will never be our fully authentic selves in any form of consumable media whether that's through an app or through our art. "raw, unfiltered, authentic" means nothing to me, i fear. recommending a piece of media (music, film, tv, book, podcast) clues your audience into what you may be like: i can filter out the "bad" music i listen to, or the books i don't want anyone to know i've read and enjoyed and just recommend things that i believe the majority here would appreciate because they too have the little bug in their brain that tells them this is something to be enjoyed shamelessly while others are not. i'm not going to come on here and recommend the marvel movie - i'll recommend some obscure italian neorealism film, because that's what i think will get me more attention here. but maybe i'm alone on this.

i know it’s dinner and a movie but I like going to earlier screenings - then i have the time to debrief and analyse while the movie’s still warm and fresh in my head during dinner or drinks.

Aren’t you? How can anyone not be? I think it’s my favourite trait - i’m so curious all the time i can’t NOT find out everything i can about a subject even if i only keep a little of the information in my brain forever. how does one not have that little bug in them?
