    On the other hand Hallmark makes twenty new films a year with the same plot. They’re hollow, but full of hope and lighthearted. You could probably make the argument that that is a pretty cynical way to produce art in itself. But frankly if I want something to make me want to kill myself, I think that’s probably better than bleak depressioncore films way too up their own ass about the depravity of man, I already see that enough in the news

      As someone who has frequently thought about killing himself, I can tell you that Hallmark movies seem even more hollow when I’m in that state.

      Cosmic horror is what I like to watch when I’m in that mood.
