Rec'd on 🎥 Fave childhood movie?
SPIRITED AWAY (2001)
Truly not trying to be cool, the simple fact is that this movie is like cocaine for a child of divorce. The whole thing of your parents turning into something you can't recognize and feeling like you have to move through the world alone, hits a little too close to home. I bought the DVD at a newstand when I was five to have something to do at my dad's apartment and never went back. Watched like two times a week, every week, for like a year

that's such a real reason to enjoy a movie... i'm so sorry you went through that but at least you had a movie that you could watch and relate to in order to cope with it

@AIMRADIO thanks dear, currently I have a very good relationship with both my parents, but it was really comforting to have a movie like this where a child (a girl!) go through all that, and be afraid and insecure, but still manages to find a way out

SPIRITED AWAY
Completely unoriginal, but this is a classic. Such a comfort watch. 🩷 The sprites make me happy. ☁️🥹☁️

Spirited away
Not to be basic, but our Chinese household somehow had the DVD (definitely not official) all throughout my childhood and I never dared to play it until I was 12 because the pigs unnerved me so much. Thank god I held off until then - it changed 12 year old Amy's life.

Where the wild things are (2009)
a Fundamentally flawed film in its awkward dialogue, pacing and arguably whole concept. however there is just something about it that’s so special – the uncanny nature of the practical/CGI effect combination, the childish portrayal of the monsters, the magical realism / coming of age crossover (never been a more goated genre combo). put this on and vibe out, maybe have a cry on behalf of your childhood self, listen to animal collective after.

DON'T GO TO SLEEP WITH DISHES IN THE SINK
I know there are days when you are so tired, or maybe you made a big meal for friends and family or you spent the afternoon meal prepping and now you have to clean like five pots and a tray, but be brave!!! (my inner monologue) Don't force your future self to wake up to a bunch of dirty dishes. It will keep your mind full because you will be constantly reminding yourself to clean that up.

Noticing a dialogue between two recs on pi
One of the things I like the most about Pi.fyi and the current scale of users is that it's still noticeable when a rec was inspired by another. Sometimes the rec directly mentions the other, but other times you can kinda assume that reading an especific thing here triggered a memory or an ideia. It's very cute and interesting to notice the small influences interacting with other humans online can have.
