I know this isn’t real, but fuck ‘em if they make the new member pick a film but then refuse to watch it. That’s just rude.
For sure, but they also could have told him they only watch films in English after his suggestion. I mean, it’s all fake, but yea…
True, but picking Les Bonnes Femmes for a movie night when you have no clue about the vibe is a risk. Either ask what the expectations are or go with wide appeal.
Anon managed to pull off a double homicide of the movie night and his social life, all while being completely blind up his own arse. That shit’s impressive.
There may be one or two contextual clues that reveal this is satirical.
Most Greentexts are, but it’s often more fun to joke as though it were not
Exactly, but also relatable. Mistaking the group’s poor taste in film for a MST3K-style riff-a-thon is something I would have done.
Fake or not, most people have an experience (or in my case, 20 years of experiences) just like this in their lives; the ones that stop you from falling asleep at night years later.
We are human. We are fallible. No one remembers, other than you, and if they do they don’t think about it nearly as much as you do.
You don’t need to self-flagellate about a mistake years ago, for the rest of your life. If anything, use it as a marker for how much you have progressed and learned since then. You wouldn’t make that mistake again, would you? It’s a lesson, not an albatross.

Cool, I’ll just tell my brain about that.
It’s also a lesson for if you’re the other people in the room.
Someone kindly pulling OP to one side afterwards and talking about what happened, and why they might have misunderstood, might have saved them from the social isolation, rather than just ending up excluded.Don’t worry, I’ll remember your mistakes for you.
Thank you
If the greentext is to be believed, I think OP made a second mistake: insulting the audience instead of the bad movie. In fact, the only evidence that this is a “bad” movie night is OP’s own opinion. Maybe this was supposed to be a generic popcorn movie night for the average filmgoer, in which case OP’s comments might have been interpreted as rude by the folks who enjoyed F&F.
Classic mistake. They picked a cinema when they had to pick a flick or joint.
He just should have picked Fight Club. It appeals to so many demographics in such weird ways.
