2025.02.02 02:00 Braylon_Maverick The Gabby Petito Story (2022 film) - Telling a Pretty Girl Syndrome, Trope-Filled Fairy Tale....ad nauseam
If you walked up to most 40-year-olds (or older) and asked them who Laci Peterson was, their response will probably be something like, "Isn't that the pregnant woman whose husband killed her?"
If you walked up to most 40-year-olds (or older) and asked them who Evelyn Hernandez was, their response will probably be something like, "Who?"
That's Pretty Girl Syndrome - True Crime Edition.
Both women (Laci and Evelyn) went missing in 2002. Both women were later discovered (or, actually, parts of them were discovered) months later. Both women had their child murdered as well, with Laci's child being in the womb while Evelyn's child was a toddler. Yet, whereas the Laci Peterson double murder made headlines, the Evelyn Hernandez double murder receive pretty much nothing more than a burp from media outlets.
Yeah, even true crime has elements of show business in it.
Now, to be perfectly honest, I have nothing but disdain for people who continually ready themselves to spit out the word, "privileged", at a moment notice. They are fools who should be treated as such. Yet, because I try to be honest when jotting down my thoughts and opinions, I will say that "privileged" does pop up whenever someone goes missing, or worse, is murdered. There is no better example of this than the bloated case of the Gabby Petito murder.
If one takes away all the media glamour of the Petito murder (yes, I said glamour) they will find a very simple case of a mutually toxic relationship that took it a step too far. It has happened a thousand times before and will happen a thousand more times. Yet, even though there is nothing strange, unusual, or interesting that occurred in the Petito murder case, Lifetime and Thora Birch decided to make their film, "The Gabby Petito Story".
Why?
Because Petito fits the criteria for Pretty Girl Syndrome.
For the Pretty Girl Syndrome to work, certain requirements must be met. The girl must be white. That is nonnegotiable. Also a nonnegotiable trait is attractiveness. The girl has to be considered pretty by the general populace. Additionally, even though some think overweight women are attractive, with Pretty Girl Syndrome, the girl has to be 125lbs or less. Finally, the girl has to be at least from a middle-class background. She can be from a more affluent background, but then she has to have a more "down to earth" quality about her. For a female victim to be nationally noticed by the media, Pretty Girl Syndrome must be adhered to.
Obviously, Gabby Petito met the requirements for Pretty Girl Syndrome, and thus, her story and face were plastered all over news outlets and social media, and a few movies/documentaries were made about her. And Thora Birch's film, "The Gabby Petito Story" is the most obscene result of the media circus from the Petito Murder Case.
The film reeks with falsehoods and tropes. In the film, Petito is an independent free-spirit, sweet and kind, who is attempting to make a name for herself. Because Petito is a free-spirit, sweet and kind, that makes her also naïve about how evil her boyfriend, Brian Laundrie, really is. She must be blind as well, since Petito never notices how here boyfriend is always huffing and puffing in anger, growling and yelling, or flinging tortilla chips across the room. Yeah, he tossed my dinner across the room, but I love him. And Laundrie is such an oppressive force that Petito always ignores all of her friends' advice to "leave him". Of course, Laundrie tries to get Petito to give up on her "Van Life" blog, mainly because he is jealous and controlling. It's not at all because the whole "Van Life" idea was just a flop and would never make any money.
Obviously, Birch's "The Gabby Petito Story" is trope heaven. The film wasn't made to explain the events of the Petito Murder, or to bring awareness to abusive relationships (on both sides). Petito is an angel and Laundrie is a demon. That is basically the plot of this worthless film. This film was made for sensationalism, and its cash-grab, and nothing more. What makes this film all the more distasteful is that it isn't even any good, which is the ultimate sin that any film can make. But then again, Birch's "The Gabby Petito Story" wasn't made for the sake to tell an actual story.
To believe that Gabby Petito's life needed to be etched into cinematic stone is comical to say the least. Her "importance" is rooted in Pretty Girl Syndrome. Be it for the fact that she was pretty, murdered, and had a villainous boyfriend, no one would be interested in a film about her, for her life was average (like the rest of us). Lifetime, Birch, her fellow producers, and the leading actors and actresses did nothing more that suckle off the Petito Crime Teet. The film was hastily put together and given a spit-shine before the cash-cow was taken to the rendering farm, and it shows in the final product. It is painfully obvious to anyone viewing the trope-filled film that is was made because the requirements for Pretty Girl Syndrome were met and the audience (money) was there.
But hey, that's why it's called "show business".
Strangely enough, there is a story to be told with the Petito Murder, and it is the story of the fragility of social media. Much like when the Seirenes would lure sailors to sail their boats towards them, only to have to boat smash against the rocks and drown the sailors, the Petito Murder shows how utterly ignorant a person(s) can be when chasing the illusion of becoming "viral". The film could have portrayed how a mutually toxic and immature couple (Petito and Laundrie) come up with the ill-fated idea of becoming popular "YouTubers" and set off to find their viral fame, only to discover later that the whole YouTube lifestyle is a pipe dream. Yes, a rare few make a name for themselves, but most (like Petito and Laundrie) fall to the waist-side and are forgotten. And because they are hit with this cold reality, along with an already mutually toxic and abusive relationship, the Petito murder occurs.
But Lifetime and Birch didn't tell that story. Why? Because it is true.
So sit through the 90 minute trope tofu-fest of Birch's "The Gabby Petito Story", but if you think you are being told the story (as boring as it is), you are woefully wrong. You are being lied to.

2025.02.02 02:00 wegotthisonekidmongo For you born from 70 to 79 did 80s movies make you a good person? Broken kids talk here.
Short and sweet I was born into a nightmare. And not only did Darth Vader saving Luke, watching that in the movies, turn me permanently into a good kid, I have such heartfelt sentimental memories from the movies of the '80s that literally cemented me in my formative years as a very good person. Do any of you guys girls on here have strong ties to The Wonder of what you saw on the big screen in the '80s? Another one is when Rocky punched Drago in the face and cut him for the first time in Rocky 4. The power of the cinema back then really changed my life. Any of yous guys girls have stories like that? Another one I hold close to my heart is the movie Cocoon and its soundtrack. I don't think anyone could listen to James Horner and not be a good person. The soundtrack to Glory also and the movie itself pretty much was the nail in the coffin of me being a very psychologically grounded person. As well as the movie in the name of the father and Jurassic Park also. What's some of your movies that you hold close to your heart from that time frame?

Getting stone overlay on my benchtops and a full height splash back installed. I forgot to ask and they never mentioned it when they were ovwe to measure, but do I need to get a sparky in to remove the cover plate and cap the wires so the hole they have to cut is smaller? Or they'll just work around the existing faceplate?
Ill message old mate tomorrow but wanted to get the jump on organising someone if I need to.
Cheers

2025.02.02 02:00 Flashy-Snow-4305 was breaking up with my (17f) bf (17m) the right decision?
i broke up with him, but i’m regretting it..
i broke up with my boyfriend on Wednesday. we’ve been having issues since we got together and i just kind of solidified my decision this week. i have a lot of people give me mixed opinions on him when we got together, but most of it just seemed like petty high school drama so i didn’t really sway my opinion on him. when we finally got together, his ex girlfriend showed up to his house to get her belongings and was asking for him. now, this was a very hectic day where he also ended up breaking his knee. he was at the hospital when she showed up. which resulted in him not telling me until a week later. i was in colorado (i live in texas) with family. we also found out that this no face account that had been stalking us was also her the same day he told me she came over. that was just kind of the first issue. since then we’ve had a few arguments over things. they’ve just gotten progressively worse. he has bpd and him breaking his knee kind of threw him into a manic episode just because he’s a heavily active person and it took that away from him. a lot of our fights have stemmed from him making very solidified opinions on people in my life. he decided he didn’t like my best friends because i told him about an argument we had. he didn’t like my mom because i told him about an argument we had. he didn’t want to meet my mom and he didn’t want me hanging around my friends. he really doesn’t like a lot of people in my life. and he really doesn’t understand why i get over things. which caused arguments. later down the line, this girl stopped being friends with me for a plethora of issues. that didn’t have anything to do with me. he ended up starting a conversation with this girl (which is completely out of his character) and started shit talking my friends and saying really poor things about me with her. this just got me thinking about how much of this i could handle. i don’t like the way he speaks to me sometimes. and he has a tendency to hit things when he’s manic, i’ve witnessed one occurrence. i don’t believe he’d ever hit me, it’s just something my mom told me to watch out for just because he’s not in a stage of life where it’s easy to regulate himself. he also just has a very big tendency to try and almost isolate me and shows very guilt trippy behavior? i guess. that’s what i’ve kinda been hearing when i talk to my parents. i obviously tell them more nitty gritty details.
we’re still in contact and he’s apologized profusely. he got his meds checked and says they’re working and that he’s no longer manic. and i just feel terrible. i can’t stop crying and i love him. but this has just kinda put me in a terrible mental state when i feel almost depressed and not myself. he treats me so good when we’re good and showers me in so much love, tells me he’ll change and do better, he wants to marry me and start a family, etc. i don’t know if im just not seeing something or im over reacting. he keeps asking me to just work through it. but i don’t know if i should and i should just let him block me and move on.
