I guess I'll go with ETERNAL SUNSHINE OF THE SPOTLESS MIND because to people like me, seeing a Charlie Kaufman film was a no-brainer but all my high school friends found out about this film way later.
Have asked this before and always like the responses. What are your biggest “I saw that in the first run cinema” flexes? Couple of mine:
Transformers: The Movie (1986)
Batman: Mask of the Phantasm (1993)
Office Space (1999)

If I had a time machine, I wouldn't do anything major to the timeline, I'd just record a bunch of destined-for-obscurity songs that kinda-sorta sounded partially like future hits so I could sue big artist later.

"Uptown Funk" was the subject of several lawsuits over copyright infringement. In 2015, similarities with "Oops Up Side Your Head" (1979) by the Gap Band led them, along with keyboardist Rudolph Taylor, and producer Lonnie Simmons to be added as co-writers of "Uptown Funk" receiving 17% of the publishing royalties.[15][88] In the same year, Serbian artist](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:krw432p34nmnvfpcty6zjrbd/bafkreievhedcpym2hf4zipi5cxrcgjgq6xpdxgdf56ihg3czb2p3l7jigu@jpeg)

The movie Y2K does not have a lot of virtues, but Durst chilling with NB actor Lachlan Watson playing a Limp Bizkit superfan was among them
I think we really need to thank Fred Durst for pioneering gender exploration in 2000 by identifying no less than 9 distinct genders
Ladies
Fellas
The People That Don't Give a Fuck
The Lovers
The Haters
The People That Call Themselves Players
Hot Mamas
Pimp Daddies
The People Rollin' Up in Caddies

Does “Chilli Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band” sound more like they play Beatles songs in the style of RHCP, or RHCP songs in the style of The Beatles?
Either way, very cursed and I hate it. But my dumb brain had to think it, so now you have to read it.

This is by no means a curative, and I'm in Canada anyway, but the Hut was my and Mel's go-to for YEARS until they hit the BDS lists in late 2023.
Am I saying the thousands we would have spent since then would have saved them? Well, it wouldn't have hurt.

Great long title for a not-great song:

Deleted a post about “what’s your least favorite song” because the vibes are bad enough already.
Instead: what’s your favorite song that has a long title, say at least 6 words long?
Mine: “Elderly Woman Behind the Counter in a Small Town” (Pearl Jam)

I'm doing some e-learning with an A.I. "instructor" (barf, I know) and the voice my head seems to have ascribed to it is extremely grating. Like, "Weird Al being an annoying character for a bit" type of thing.

Well, somehow, complete dingus that I am, I crunched my phone in a car door last night. Time to find out if it's even fixable and what kind of terrible price I've got to pay.
