it is objectively so bad, yet there is a part of me that cannot part from it, I have to rewatch it at least once a year, it is truly iconic.
and hey, I can definitely tell you all the reasons why it is bad, both the movies and the books, but I think one can enjoy a piece of bad media while realizing how wacky it is.
sometimes life is about fun too

i know it's been said, but it bears repeating: you can enjoy something while simultaneously recognizing it's bad. i don't mean bad as in morally bad, i mean low quality or corny. you can watch a shitty movie, knowing it's a shitty movie, and still enjoy it. you can listen to catchy music even though you know it's cliche and unoriginal. you don't have to be embarrassed about it.
i recently watched that netflix movie "Carry-On" and it was fucking terrible, but... i had fun watching it. genuinely enjoyed it, even though it was essentially just poorly written pro-TSA / surveillance state propaganda. you don't have to exclusively enjoy things that you or people you look up to deem as high quality or tasteful. in fact, you can watch something and enjoy it because it's bad! i've watched several movies that were so bad, i just focused on how bad it was and thought about the bizarre choices the filmmaker made, and ended up having a great time. there are multiple ways to enjoy things!

God it's just peak cinema and it should have won multiple oscars, grammys, tonys, pulitzer prizes, president's medals of freedom, nobel peace prizes and literally any other award you can think of. It's hysterical and truly, truly one of the best (worst) films of all time.

listening to music on a bus or on the train while alone and looking out the windows with some music in your ears is the closest thing to the poetic experience ever

I found this little ladybug on some stairs and I picked her up because I didn’t want her to die from being stepped on. she was so cute and flew away on her own from my finger. this is what love feels like methinks
