  • Yeah, I basically stopped using IMDb because it’s now useless. I’m not logging in.

    My taste is 3-5 star movies.

    The problem with IMDb is 80% of people rate movies on production quality. I like crappy movies, so production values are low and they lose a solid 4 stars. They’re not even b movies. But then there are “good” movies that utterly suck with awful plots and they get the same rating.

    So I have to look at 3 stars, use the user rating to see if anyone finds the movie good despite its flaws, then I click their profile and see if they have lists. Those are gold. (Once I found a list called “movies I worked on” and it was some person movie from junk to big budget films over the years. )

    Now that doesn’t work, so there’s no value.



  • The second part is not actually related to the first.

    If something is beyond your control all you can do is manage how you deal with it. There is no other option. As someone with anxiety, I’ve spent too much of my life on this.

    Living is learning and deciding what things you should give a fuck about, what battles to pick, and what to walk away from.

    When you’re worried about the uncertainty, say to yourself: “okay, let’s assume this happens, then what, how do I deal with it, what is the worst that can happen”. Often running through things honestly can help you decide how much you need to worry about them.

    But conversely, if you find yourself paralyzed with fear, then you need to learn to put yourself in the present. Not the past, not the future. Meditation can help with that. Sometimes I need to find a distraction for myself. Sometimes I need another person to support me through those moments.

    Remember, it’s never wrong to ask someone to support you, even if it’s hard.
