Nothing was tied together. The psychiatry aspect was really irrelevant to the plot, as was the psychiatrist’s backstory.

The monster’s origin was non-existent, which is fine, but the dopplegangers’ formation and existence has no relation to the monster and why the monster looks the way it does is just random.

It just feels like there is about 30% missing from the movie.

The therapy angle was integral to the plot. I took the Backrooms to be a metaphor for unresolved trauma and the way it warps the psyche as we replay those traumas over and over. This was spelled out in that scene in the therapist's childhood living room where the POV keeps sinking down through the floor into another version of the same room, but each time everything is slightly different.

The monster is a distorted pirate version of Clark because Clark doing local commercials in a wacky pirate suit to sell furniture is his worst fear come true. He wanted to be an architect but he lost the house in the divorce and now he's stuck embarrassing himself on TV to keep the furniture store that he's living in afloat. His worst fear is becoming nothing more than the idiot he plays in the commercials. Him as the pirate is his trauma and indignation manifest.

As to why Clark's doppelganger is so much different than the others, it's probably because he's been working, living, and sleeping so close to the portal in his store. His very fresh trauma and resentment have been seeping into the Backrooms and thus, his doppelganger is a monster who mirrors him at his own personal rock bottom (a bitter man living in a furniture store, debasing himself on TV in a pirate suit).

To those who are fortunate enough to not know these people:

Adam 22 hosts a podcast called No Jumper, the entire premise of which is getting retarded drill/gangsta rappers to incriminate themselves and antagonize their enemies on camera. He's a weirdo former BMX guy who has made a fortune getting rappers arrested or shot for content.

His wife recently made a BBC porno with one Jason Luv (from da Boot ya herd meh), and Adam has been getting cyberbullied for being a cuck ever since. He did a celebrity boxing match against the dude his wife fricked, and he got TKO'd in like 10 secs.

I consented to none of this knowledge. I yearn for the meteor.

No, but I know a wannabe swinger couple who are now going through a divorce after the wife decided she'd rather just frick dudes without her husband's involvement.

Have known them since high school and I'm pretty sure they lost their V-card to each other. Started "swinging" (aka inviting hubby's guy friends over to tag team her) but he caught her fricking his friends multiple times behind his back.

He's a good guy (slightly gay imo), but play stupid games, win stupid prizes. Letting other men frick your woman is never sustainable.

I wonder what Big Lee's estate sale was like


Paging antiquetiger

Why do I even come here?

I don't give a shite about your personal politics; to be the greatest, richest country on Earth, our healthcare system is an absolute embarassment.

Base unlimited Charizard in decent shape is currently at right around $500. I got one in really nice shape about 2 years ago for about $125.

To those saying it had nothing to do with age, it absolutely did.

That's not to say 60 is too old to be a Power 4 HC, but a 10 year, hundred million dollar guaranteed contract doesn't exactly incentivize an old man to work his arse off every day.

Rubba Boot in Shreveport is good, but one corn and two red potatoes with a 5 lb box for $35+ is communist
