What movies to watch coming home from a shitty party

When you come back from a party and you can't help but think this was a huge waste of shower gel

L'article an Français c'est par là!

Remember that time your friend Tad told you "Are you going to Dick's party tonight? I'll be there by 8pm". You showed up at 8:30pm, to make sure you wouldn't be the first one, but you totally were, and you clearly saw disappointment on Dick's face when he opened the door. Thank God, Dick's flatmate had a little dog, with which you spent time until you received a text from Tad around 11:30pm saying "runnin L8. B there in 1h"
So you decided to go home. It was 00:12 on a Saturday night and you figured that you couldn't just go to bed now.
So, you little party animal, I'm giving you a selection of movies that will perfectly match the range of feelings that are currently going through your mind.   

1. Frustration : Projet X

Because every time to master the will to go out of your cave, you hope to go to the "best party of the year". But every time, you end up having deep philosophical discussions with Spratt, Dick's flatmate's dog.

So let's just embrace that frustration, by watching Project X, that movie about a bunch of looser high-schoolers who end-up throwing the best party ever.

This movie is useless and completely excessive, but it kind of sounds like what Dick and Tad are going to tell everyone on Monday about the party you just left. And there will always be a part of you that will wonder if you left the party too early, while the other part is just thinking that Dick and Tad are just full of bullshit.

2. Embarassement/ boredom : Garden State

As the protagonist from this cute little movie, you're having a hard time deciding if you should try and fit in or just do your own thing.

If all the Tads and Dicks of your hometown look like they're having fun, why shouldn't you also get a glimpse of this happiness?
So, you still try and do what you think is expected from you, but you do feel like you're not completely normal...

And one day you'll meet your soulmate in the E.R who will make you understand that Tad and Dick are completley empty inside and that it doesn't help to pretend, nobody is "normal". So you finally take the decision to be yourself, stop popping pills, and live your life as it comes (and of course, when you get to kiss Nathalie Portman everyday, you don't get to complain anymore)

3. Anger and misunderstanding: Tucker and Dale vs. Evil

What the hell, fuck it! You're fine all by yourself! You're going to spend the week-end alone, all comfy.
But Godammit, those neighbors sure are making a hell of a noise! They are just throwing your total failure at socialization back to your face. You're going to show them good, those Tad and Dick! They are showing off with their lame party, well they are going to regret it! Soon... Very soon...

Oh no, no, no. That's just a big misunderstanding! you didn't want any harm to Tad and Dick! Like Tucker and Dale you just wanted to play nice and bring them extra ice-picks for their barbecue. All you ever wanted was to be part of the cool gang. It's not your fault if Tad literally fell onto the chainsaw and Dick decided to take a plunge headfirst into the barbecue.
What a shitty week-end...

4. la Resignation : Into the Wild

Well after all, nobody understands you, you'll never be happy surrounded by all those fuckfaces. You can only count on yourself to achieve happiness. You are sick and tired of this society that dictates everything you are supposed to be, like, etc.
So you take mesures : you quit your job as an assistant customer adviser in a bank, empty your savings account and give Mitsy, your cat, to your nextdoor neihgbor (who already thought you didn't  take good care of her and was feeding her behind your back). And you decide to leave everything behind, keeping just a backpack. You're going to cross the state by foot and live as a hermit in the forest. Everyone will think you are crazy. But you know deep down that it's the only way to achieve fullfillment.

Like Christopher, who leaves for Alaska, you'll probably meet nice people on the way. But what you really want is to be happy. Even if that means living the rest of your life alone in a bus stranded in the middle of Alaska.

There you go, I hope these few movies helped you forget / get some perspective into that shitty party.

See you next time for a selection of movies that will help you get over the fact that you are living in an overpriced 15m² studio apartment!
