There's nothing like throwing on a great movie and just stepping outside the otherwise constant stream of thoughts that occupy your daily existence. Instead, you can check out for awhile and get lost in the lives of the characters onscreen. Sometimes though, it can be tough to follow what's going on if you literally can't make out what's taking place on the screen. This quick Tumblr post does an effective job at pointing that out with Game of Thrones as an example.

It turns out that it's really not that hard to ruin an otherwise perfectly respectable movie with one word. One word can unleash a whole lot of damage on that meticulously crafted movie title. At the same time though, there are so many crazy movies out there that it wouldn't be shocking if some of these actually ended up being movies.

The world's always going to churn out plenty of fails and other cringe-packed disasters. Every now and again it's nice to take a break from all that noise, and instead turn our attention to a nice wholesome Twitter thread about a movie theatre's favorite customer. It's an old and eccentric man named Eddie. Basically, Eddie sounds like a gem. An absolute gem. Literally such a sweet human being that he's able to make the otherwise arduous task of working at a movie theatre somewhat bearable. That's no small feat. 

There are certain times in this chaotic life when you actually might find yourself thinking that you wish life were just a little bit like what it's portrayed as in the movies. Then, then there are other times where it's a very good thing that life doesn't compare to what it's depicted as in movies. It's probably a good thing that computers don't make a ton of bleep/blop/blip noises when we type on them. That might get just a tad bit irritating after awhile. 

Movies are great at filling our vulnerable and rampant imaginations with all kinds of unrealistic expectations and desires about how the world should work. Sometimes it's those clever little plot holes that escapes the viewer's attention, and ends up instilling in them a belief that would hold no ground back in the real world. Romantic comedies in particular are great at that. But hey, if you can just enter into the experience of watching the movie, well aware that life's a whole lot more difficult than it's portrayed on the big screen, you'll be just fine. 

There are far too many elements present throughout a movie that can possess the audience with all kinds of unrealistic expectations, or just flat out frustration that life certainly ain't like it's portrayed in the movies. Like the whole waking up with no bedhead situation. Or perhaps the frequent examples of entirely unnecessary self-sacrifice. Maybe you'll resonate with some of these. 

We can always rely on the wonderful, wandering, ever unpredictable minds of Tumblr to lead us down wild rabbit holes that we never would've gone down otherwise. In this case, we have a whole situation develop that's centered on the absurd national treasure that is the notorious "Spy Kids" movie. So many unanticipated cameos. Seriously, it was out of control.
