This post is the first time I’ve heard of the movie.

I skimmed through some of it. It looks right. I remember very little of the movie itself, just the feeling I got.

I checked the song at the end and while it wasn’t the song I mentioned, it triggered the same reaction in my head.

I’ll try to watch it tonight just to see how bad it actually is. Hopefully shut that part of my brain up at long last.

Thanks for the tip.

I don’t recall the name of it, it was not a big Hollywood movie or anything, and it was super low budget.

But it was some old Christian movie about what will happen to you if you don’t get “saved” before the Rapture happens. I remember a song called “I wish we’d all been ready” playing. Not sure if that’s the name of the song, not even positive it was actually in the movie at all, or if it was just something I heard around the same time and the memory is getting blurred.

From what I recall, it looked like it was made in the 70s.

I wish I remembered more about it. It was intended to scare the shit out of you to believe in religion. Worked on me at the time, I remember praying like a million times to make sure I did it right the night I watched it, and randomly at times for years as I remembered the scared-shitless feeling.

Religious trauma is a hell of a drug.

I kinda wanna watch it again now that I’m older.

I use the word like that too. But not as a customer arguing with a business. Just with friends and family as an in joke.

Funny to hear it used that way but for srs.

I got the pixel 7 last year since my old pixel 2xl was out of security.

Well that and the battery was terrible and it was sluggish as well in general and a screen crack that didn’t affect functionally, but was annoying af. Still have it around as a spare device to go back to if this one has an issue.
