Warlock?
I wish they made more movies like this. But they don’t.
It’s kind of wild how wholesome many 2000 comedies were deep down. But the world changed and a lot of them were re evaluated a in the 2010s as being awful and terrible because they were given surface level analysis and turned into rage-bait for the ‘love to be offended’ crowd who often can’t see beyond the surface of things.
2005 was the year Youtube was launched, 5 months after 40 Year old Virgin was released in theaters.
Matt Damon explains how mid budget cinema died when physical media became obsolete: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gF6K2IxC9O8
yeah I’ve heard this. Makes sense. I was a big buyer of DVDs myself back in the 2000s, but once streaming came along it was over.
I still have a couple dozen movies on blu ray and such, and people are total assholes about it asking me why I am so ‘weird’ owning physical media. Movie collecting doesn’t get the cultural ‘cool’ of say, owning records on vinyl, and btw often the people who own vinyl are the same ones who give me shit about having physical media… sigh
everything is streaming rights sales now, and you can’t command a high price for it on a low budget movie, hence why most streaming services are full of cheap schlock and the high priced premium content moves from service to service ever other month.
Bold of you to assume it stops at 40 💀
Hey, welcome to the fediverse!
Unrelated, of course.
The 35 years old virgin is not that much better
I feel this. Getting there myself. Part of the problem is that I can’t experience sexual pleasure and I have a hard time experiencing sexual attraction. But I really wish I could experience what those endorphins feel like even once! But even doing it myself, it doesn’t work that way.
To my knowledge, I don’t seem to have any physical abnormalities. I’ve been to the doc for a checkup before there. Nerves just must not be hooked up right or something.
I’m confused, like you still desire it but you can’t experience it?
That sucks. Good luck.
If someone is happily asexual, then I guess it’s not a problem. Some people might feel no desire and carry on with life not feeling like they miss anything because “there’s nothing to miss”. But suffering with it or feeling deprived sucks.
Hey virgies, talk to the person you’re interested in and show them you’re interested. Make sure you let them speak freely and until they finish their point, and show that you’re interested in hearing what they have to say with your body language. Best of luck!
This is the fastest way for them to get fired at their job for sexual harassment.
It’s not 2005 anymore when showing interest was a largely consequence free thing to do.
I was super afraid of that movie when it came out (I was an incel at the time).
when it came out incels didn’t exist, at least the modern version of them.
they only hit the cultural radar when they started killing people in the 2014. a decade after this film came out
Time for me to give up at that point.
life is better when you stop trying to achieve things you were never going to achieve.
and focus on things that are rewarding and fulfilling.
Already did, for the most part.
Hey, at least you’re StillAlive.
While youre dying I’ll be, still alive
That picture is so disconcerting because that is simply not Carell’s face. Maybe I just am face blind. Also that movie didn’t stand up over time except I remember Catherine Keener
