Good luck have fun don't die is really really good and I'm going to need the 4 hour long theory analysis videos to start rolling in
[spoilers ahead]
The very meta way they used the idea of escapism was very interesting to me. Within the world of the movie, obviously escapism is a big theme. Not just through the endless scrolling on the phone or being permanently hooked up to headset but cloning your child to escape the grief of losing him to a school shooter. But in the more meta way, I mean why else to see a movie than to escape life for a few hours. And then within the first quarter of the movie we have a montage of police officers killing innocent people and a school shooting where one of the main characters loses her son. And the time traveler is telling the ordinary people in the diner that the world is going to shit but you can help save it if you get your head out of your phone and the movie tells the audience the world is going to shit but you can help save it if you get your head out of your phone
Anyway I have many more thoughts about this movie. I feel like I need to watch it 5 times and be able to pause it every few minutes but those are my initial thoughts
one thing I really love about Good Luck, Have Fun, Don't Die is that it understands that AI is fucking stupid. I've seen some criticism that the film is trivializing the issue, and I'm like no, that's the point. its being treated with exactly the amount of respect it deserves. The horse cock cumming glitter is good, actually.
Jackie is aware that Hayden is continuing to be a dick about Ilya, and she's kind of at a loss about how to deal with it, because he won't listen to her. Or he does, but only for a little while and then he snaps back into his weird intense disapproval. (She is honestly terrified about what is going to happen when their girls bring someone home if this is some kind of foreshadowing. It's both "no one is good enough for him" and "stop stealing my things" and all of it is bad and infantilizing of a man who is basically their age)
She's not surprised to get a phone call from Shane after the two of them were supposed to meet for lunch. She sighs down the phone line. The nanny has the kids at the park, so she's just been clicking through some options for dinner on her phone. "Hey Shane. I'm guessing it didn't go well."
"He called Ilya a fuck boy who doesn't know how good he has it before we got our food." Shane says. His tone is fighting for evenness, but she can hear his frustration and actual hurt underneath.
She blows out a breath, but knows better than to apologize. She's not responsible for her idiot husband after all, as Shane protests whenever she tries. "So he was in really good form huh?"
"I'm also guessing he didn't tell you that he knew JJ was trying to surprise me with a blind date hook up and that he was helping JJ pick guys I might like?"
She blinks at the wall, and slowly says, "What the fuck."
"Yeah." Shane says, sounding so tired.
She doesn't know what to say anymore, and shakes her head, "I'll talk to him again."
"Actually," Shane says, sounding kind of hesitant, "I had an idea I wanted to run by you." And then he's tripping over himself in his usual Shane flood of words. "It's probably a stupid idea that'll just make him mad actually so maybe I should just let it all go it's really not that bad -"
"Shane" she interrupts, "tell me the idea."
He blows out a slow breath that crackles over the phone line. He sounds only a little hesitant when he starts talking again, "It occurred to me today that a lot of the stuff he was saying about Ilya could also describe you." She blinks again, and Shane continues, "I mean I know we joke around sometimes about you two meeting in a club and you did that a lot right before you met Hayden, like Ilya did. And obviously there's nothing wrong with that!" Shane is quick to say, "I don't think so anyway, and obviously neither does Hayden really, except when he can use it against Ilya -"
It's very true, what Shane is saying. While she'd been in college she'd gone to bars and clubs very regularly and enjoyed herself throughly. She'd always known she wanted to settle down eventually and have a bunch of kids (goal achieved) but that had never stopped her from enjoying herself. It's how she'd ended up in the club where she met Shane and Hayden, and how she'd been confident enough to go talk to them. And there's not one part of her that's ashamed of it.
(She has never told either Shane or Hayden that she originally approached them with the intention of talking to Shane, who had awkwardly directed her to Hayden instead. But if her husband continues to be an asshole maybe she should mention that.)
"Shane" she asks, cutting off what is surely the start of another flood of words, "are you asking me my permission to call me a club rat to my husband next time he insults your boyfriend?"

I think more people would benefit from my dad’s go to advice: “show up, and pay attention”
Work, friendships, relationships, etc. — all of them will be improved if you just show up and pay attention.
Show up: follow through on commitments, be present rather than distracted, keep your word
Pay attention: take notes, listen when people talk, do what you need to do to remember tasks you’ve been given, READ YOUR DAMN EMAILS
And before tumblr tumblrs, I also have undiagnosed ADHD and probably autism and “just” showing up and paying attention often takes a bit of extra effort for me. But I’m also the most recent addition to my team at work and also somehow the only one who is both on top of my shit and still only giving like 60%-70%.
I do have one warning though: once you start showing up and paying attention, you will be frustrated by how many people aren’t doing that. But hey, your boss will love you and you might even get a raise out of it.
My mom likes to tell me about how when I was a little kid riding public transport with her I'd always smile and giggle and chat with weird old ladies who smelled like cat pee and homeless folks and strangers dressed in bizarre outfits but any time a tidy and respectable businessman in a suit and tie waved at me I'd immediately clam up, and she takes a great deal of pride in my supposed inherentability to clock personalities but the truth is I do vaguely remember those bus rides, and it was never about the clothes or the hair or the smell, but more because everyone "strange" asked interesting questions and listened to what I had to say and seemed to think about what I said while the neat and tidy and rigid folks only ever acted like they were going through the motions, which was boring as hell and also pretty annoying
shane's face after ilya picks him up my god he's so turned on. this guy is 200lbs of pure muscle he follows a diet other professional athletes have never even heard of and spends half his life in the gym, the other half muscling big strong hockey players out the way to get to a puck. and ilya just lifted him right off the ground and is ferrying him over to the bed where he Is Going To Fuck Him. my sweet steaming-engine-brain shane has never blanked so hard in his life. he's barely a person in this moment he is just Hormone
