When I quit, after like 3 days, I told everyone I had quit. I did so because the next time I saw them I didn't want to be embarrased if I failed. 

Most looked at me and smirked thinking I wouldn't quit. I showed those fuckers!

Good for you,man!

Congrats to all the quitters!

Thank you!  

I'm right there with you - been 1 year and 8 months for me and I'm amazed that I finally quit. Proud Quitter. Wish it was sooner, but it happened when it was time to happen. 

Thank you and I am staying strong in solidarity with my fellow quitters. 

You're awesome!   I can't wait to have an anniversary like that!

I'm sorry to hear about the lawsuit/insurance stuff you have to deal with, that makes for one suckfest of a Fredagsmys.
Be sure to watch a good movie/show when it's all said and done. Don't let the bitch ruin your whole Fredagsmys.

(i.e., not Scarface)

    You know you want that thread bumped.  lol

No, God, Scarface would not help my insane anxiety. 

I need a comfort movie this Fredagsmys -like Good Will Hunting or The Hangover - to go with my homemade Sloppy Joe's. 

dankind

Yes

Good Will Hunting might be worse than Scarface. As a nearly lifelong financial supporter of the psychotherapeutic sciences, the "it's not your fault" scene had me doubled over with laughter in the cinema to the point that I was being shushed by other audience members. It also really pissed me off that Minnie Driver's character was basically treated as a prize to be won. 

The Hangover is awesome, though. No one shushed me for laughing at that one.

OffSheGoes35

No

I have a question for you, @dankind (my go-to film buff), what film(s) represent real-life couples best? Are there any "love stories" that really resonated with you?

OffSheGoes35

No

Actually, other people are welcome to answer as well.

Indecent Proposal
The Break Up
Showgirls

  just kidding

OffSheGoes35

No

Maybe we should just suggest movies and have dankind tell us what is wrong with them. What about Before Sunrise? Would a guy really talk that much to get into Julie Delpy's pants?

OffSheGoes35

No

I don’t know about representing real-life couples, save the naturalism of Linklater, but below are some of my favorite love stories on film that represent how wonderfully messy the whole damn thing can be. 

Casablanca 

The Before series by Richard Linklater

Wild at Heart

Mulholland Drive

Harold and Maude

True Romance

Inherent Vice

Eyes Wide Shut

Nobody Loves Me

Buffalo ’66

Superbad (the couple, in this case, being the boys)

Say Anything...

Almost Famous (the beloved in this case being music; and I wasn’t expecting two sappy Cameron Crowe films to show up, but I guess I can be mushy at times)

Grosse Pointe Blank

The Age of Innocence

The House of Mirth (I might have a thing for Ms. Wharton; she wrote enough great stories to make up for that Ethan Frome clunker)

Raising Arizona 

dankind

Yes

Ha. I mentioned the Before series in my list. I could watch those films forever.

And I forgot Moonrise Kingdom. A beautiful love story.

Grosse Pointe Blank is in my top 10 favorite movies.

Eyes Wide Shut portraying regular couples??

And you can laugh all you want - I love Good Will Hunting. 

F Me In The Brain

No

Moonrise was awesome.  Wes rules.

I would (for sure) endure that to get into Julie Delpys panties 

OffSheGoes35

No

Sorry, I didn't really phrase the first question the right way. I don't know that anybody would want to sit through 2 hours of real life coupledom. Maybe the better question would be, what films represent real love as you see it? Or would like to see it?

F Me In The Brain

No

Juranal Park?

F Me In The Brain

No

Hahaha.
I like Rosario Dawson.  Clerks iI
Anything that would put me with her would be good

OffSheGoes35

No

I love True Romance and didn't think of it when I was trying to come up with a list. I'm so glad you reminded me, dankind. You have listed a few of my favorites, and there are a few I haven't seen, thank you for the list!

And it's great that friendship stories have been included too.
