Insecure (film) Puns

As the title states. Maybe more specifically troubled characters with lots of faults, heavily insecure, weak etc.

Stuff like:

Taxi driver

First reformed

Light sleeper

Dead ringers

Mishima

Dancer in the dark

Also if anyone would like to contribute to discussion on the matter such as how we got to seminal films like Taxi Driver and unique expressions of loneliness in general I'd be happy to reply and contribute.

Cheers!

Don't know why I can't see your guys comments but thanks for the suggestions. Unfortunately I've seen all the movies like punch drunk love, blade runner and much of Kaufmanns work. Anyone know any older cinema or world cinema that hits the same beats as the ones mentioned?

I am tired of romantic movies that are full of ultra-attractive people with great life and their doubts honestly stupid and the strongest thing that's keeping them to bond is the villain (who is actually the father of the girl). Also not the movie where the character is unloved by his/her interest and so they break down or commit suicide or ask a cheesy question like, "Why is it always me that's unloved? Why the guy/girl I like never like me?".

I want movies that show romance as the part of life, and don't degrade the thing the love/attraction is to human civilization. Be it in a school or an office or a forest or in war, the characters need to feel human and they should be doubtful and soft, and they should put effort a little by little, and the love should be subtle, sincere, and beautiful. The movie doesn't need to be strictly of a "romance" genre, but the love part should be there and it should meet the above criteria.

The movie can be of any language. More language means more culture and the more I get to know different lifestyles.

I spent time in southern Cali as a teen and, as a brown skinned black woman, I distinctly remember how much colorism existed - especially when it came to the social and dating world.

I look at the black men on Insecure and they remind me of guys I grew up with. Daniel, Lawrence, Nathan, Taurean … Sadly, I’m not sure if any of them would give Molly or Issa or Kelly a second look in real life LA.

Would love to hear from folks who live in LA (or anyone w an opinion)… do you think Insecure accurately captures the colorism that exists in LA? Or is the idea that Issa’s built this world (via the show) that centers women like her?

TW- mention of weight loss

Not sure if I belong in this sub, but I'm a DD. I recently lost quite a bit of weight-- around 60 lbs over the last two years (~35lbs of that was lost over the last 6 months).

My boobs are different now, I have so much loose skin on them. They kinda hang more loosely than they used to, not quite as close to my chest anymore, if that makes sense. When I bend over, they hang kinda like socks filled with rice-- which is kinda normal I think, but it's a lot more extreme than before I lost weight. I tried to go bra shopping recently, and found a really cute/sexy mesh bra, but because of the loose skin, my breasts looked similar to a dog's face pressed up against a glass door. My nipples were almost hidden by this loose skin. Not so sexy.

To add to this, my breasts are not evenly sized. I'm fairly certain one breast is at least a half cup, if not a full cup larger than the other. The loose skin has only made this more obvious.

I'm 23, I was losing weight at a 'healthy' pace (< 2lbs per week), and yet I still have all this loose skin. I'm still in college and I haven't looked it up, but I'm pretty sure any kind of corrective surgery is going to be way out of my budget.

I'm sorry if this post doesn't belong here. I'm not really sure why I'm posting, I just feel sad-- I told myself for years that losing weight would finally let me live the 'typical' romanticized 20-something lifestyle I saw in film and TV, but I feel more insecure than I did at a higher weight. I know the stereotype that guys love bigger boobs, and my partner has never once said or done anything to make me feel like my boobs aren't okay for him, but I can't get over the fact that they aren't perky or evenly sized or anything like you see in fashion mags or pornos and whatnot.

Oh wait. Nope, she's back. She just went for groceries.

Edit: People keep saying this is a repost. First, it was NOT intended to be a repost and second, I didn't know somebody else posted this joke as I couldn't find it between all the other posts, I tried making sure nobody else posted it before and I couldn't find it, so to whoever posted it first, credits to you. I was simply bored and tried to get a groan / chuckle out of some people, no more than that.

Christians. For 2,000 years Christians have taught that no one who refuses to believe in the God of the Bible can go to heaven. The fourth-century Athanasian Creed affirmed that “whosoever will be saved: before all things it is necessary that he hold the Catholic Faith.” For Christians, the way to reach heaven is through salvation. Belief in the Christ and living according to His principles are the ways to attain salvation in the teachings of Christianity.

Muslims. A person who attains salvation is said to go to heaven and become eternal. For Muslims, the teaching is that only Muslims will go to heaven. The pagans or whom the religion refers as Kafirs, are not bound to reach heaven. So being a true Muslim is what can make them reach heavens. So is the teaching.

I don't know why a God, if it exists, would care if we believe in God. An omniscient God that created everything would not require us to pray or go to church every week. It doesn't make sense.

And deep down she wishes you wouldn’t follow them because they are all your ideal type. Just had this issue with my bf and he called me crazy, so just wondering what other men would think.

When she struggles to find the time to see her friends, Issa pauses to take a look back at the journey that brought her to her current position.

Postgame interview

Rudy obviously hears the chatter but continues to go out and play his game the best way he knows how. In the 8 years I’ve seen Rudy play I don’t think I’ve ever seen him talk bad about another player. He only talks about his belief in himself as the best defender on the planet

This will be a safe space for you to talk to. No judgment. I want to understand men and i love getting to know you.

I’m not targeting marvel comic fans. I am specifically saying MCU fans.

All over social media, all I see is love to marvel. There isn’t really that much heat towards it but mcu fans still act like it’s under rated. It’s not. There have been nearly 30 MCU projects none of them have fallen beneath 65% on rotten tomatoes. They have all been well received.

I’ve noticed any time a well received DC movie is released. Like after the suicide squad, ‘DC finally has a good movie’ or ‘ it takes a marvel Director to make a good DC movie’ is all I saw in comment section on all socials as they completely ignoring Wonder Woman, Aquaman, Shazam, and birds of prey; not to mention previous entries before the DCEU.

Just because famous Directors like Martin Scorsese or Denis Villaneuve don’t like the movies doesn’t mean the world isn’t going to stop adoring the MCU.

Kanter isn't going to stop, you have to respect it

My wife gave birth 4 months ago. I have been obese for a few years now. I was pre diabetic and had a very high risk of heart disease.

Ever since we found out that she is pregnant, I have been trying to lose weight so that I can be healthy enough to take care of the baby. I lost about 120 pounds and I have just 30 pounds to be at the normal weight for my body type.

My wife has been telling me that me eating healthy food/exercising while she eats frozen or junk food all of the time and not being able to exercise due to pregnancy and birth is making her feel insecure and that I need to stop rubbing it in her face. I even tried making extra healthy food for her but she said that she does not have the energy or time to obsess about her diet. She told me to stop dieting and exercising for awhile. I refused because I find it hard to get motivation and once I stop, I'll not have the desire to restart it later on.

She's saying that I'm being selfish and that she is not asking much from me.

AITA?

A farewell party nudges Issa to face her unresolved feelings; having spent all day enjoying herself, Molly finally confronts her fears.

SEASON FINALE next week December 26, 2021

I only ever really hear about girls being insecure and wanting to be skinny. Does this apply to guys too?

EDIT: this is really sad. chubby guys are cute. skinny guys are cute. all guys are cute. I'm sorry you feel this way.

Unless you have a near perfect swing that only a golf pro or high-level coach would be able to pick apart, posting for swing help here is literally useless.

Who cares if someone posted a swing like Charles fucking Barkley and was looking for help? It is fucking GOLF. The most frustrating and agonizingly difficult sport in the fucking WORLD. And the shitbags here KNOW that because once upon a time, they sucked shit and were desperate for help too! I mean Jesus Christ man, what is the conceited and prideful blockage that some golfers have on here that drives them to not only ignore help request, but to go out of there way to not do so and also put down another golfer in the process.

Man, I just don’t fucking get it. Why comment useless and rude shit to someone looking for help? Why push people away from the game by doing stupid insecure shit like that instead of bring more people in to enjoy? Fuck man. Shit makes my blood boil. I get way too worked up about this lmao but I had to put it in writing.

Basically, we all suck - stop trying to convince yourself you suck less and instead help other people who suck more, suck less.

I am in love with that last paragraph there.

Cheers and fuck all you insecure-Reddit-golf-boys and your $7,000 clubs

I just think it’s unfair. I didn’t like when she told me those things before and it made me feel like shit but I toughed it out and didn’t put it on her. She looks at some old photo of me and my ex, and now she’s very insecure and feels terrible all day saying things like she will never compare or bla bla. Or looking into the mirror.

It sucks cause I really do like her a lot but I don’t know what to say. I try telling her I think she’s beautiful but she doesn’t believe me.

A part of me is being patient cause we are both 19, so I understand it’s common to have insecurities at this age and it can be really tough. Especially with all the online shit.

But it feels like she only sees things from my view when. she experiences it.

Seems every second pod these days he's bringing up how someone in his past didn't believe in his amazing skills. Or he's getting pissy when it's mentioned the pod isn't as popular as he thinks it is. Or alludes to thinking he's so much better than other podcast hosts. Oh, and the "I watch every game and take notes" thing

Then there's bringing up repeatedly how he totally didn't care he didn't go on Letterman with SVP.

And there's the chip on the shoulder thing where he brings up a strawman person shitting on him "people would see I got a job on air and they'd be like 'wait, what? That guy?'"

Where's Russillo on the pantheon of insecure sports broadcasters? Top 7? Top 16%?

No...wait, she's back ( phew )... just went for a coffee.

No, wait. He's back now. He went to get milk.
