  Turns out the real horror wasn&apos;t body snatchers, but the dread of feeling like you&apos;ve done nothing with your life.

  Oh yeah, this really hits hard the older you get. &nbsp;And honestly, this is Simon Pegg&apos;s best performance to date. &nbsp;He has to do some major dramatic heavy lifting as the film goes on and his character is the saddest comedic protagonist I&apos;ve seen in a while. &nbsp;When he screams &quot;IT&apos;S ALL I&apos;VE GOT!!!&quot;, damn, you feel that.

  I cosplayed as Garry King once at a comic con. I made a map and everything. I even got a hospital bracelet and put bandages around my wrists. You couldn&apos;t even see these details the entire day but it was still important to me to have them because they are a very important part of the character to me.

  I love how genuinely fed up the &nbsp;Network is at the state of the human race. It feels less like an oppressive, extraterrestrial force bent on world domination, and more like a disappointed parent seeing their kids squander their potential on what they deem &quot;pointless nonsense.&quot;

  The line &quot;All that promise, it was all a big lie. Nothing happened!&quot; hits me so hard now. That feeling when you believe you&apos;ve dedicated your life to something, only to find out it meant nothing in the end, or it wasn&apos;t what you thought it would be - it is beyond devastating. Lots of people have killed themselves over that.

  Totally under-rated film. It really hits home as you hit your 30/40s and meet your old friends, still telling the same storys from when we were teens because they have done nothing with their lives since. You don&apos;t recognise your old stomping ground anymore, and most upsettingly the old stomping ground doesn&apos;t recognise you. It cuts deep.

  This movie had such a profound effect on me because I realized that I essentially was Gary King without a drinking problem years ago. In high school my life seemed like it had so much promise and I had such big plans and they never came to be. I felt like I had peaked in high school like Gary did only unlike Gary high school was still absolutely miserable for me, it was a living hell and that was the best it had gotten

  I struggled with opiods and alcohol for a long time. That line &quot;I don&apos;t want to be sober!&quot; always hits me so hard. And as someone still trying hard to get my life back on track, Gary&apos;s lines about life not getting better and a bright future feeling like a big lie, they&apos;re just...I don&apos;t even have the words. I&apos;ve such a weird feeling with this movie. I love the corneto trilogy, and the comedy in this never fails to make me laugh, then the end will come along and break my heart.

  One of the many little details I love about this film is the nominative determinism. Each member of Gary&apos;s gang is defined by their surname, lending weight to the idea that they&apos;re doomed to be stuck in those roles, making the same mistakes over and over and never learning how to genuinely change.<br><br>Gary is the king, the unelected despot who rules his kingdom, remaining in a position of power whether he deserves it or not. Steve is the prince, a true royal and perhaps destined to one day become king in his own right, but always junior and subordinate to the true king. Andy is the knight, the king&apos;s enforcer and protector, the mighty warrior who protects the monarchy. Ollie is the chamberlain, the king&apos;s money-counter and book-keeper, who always turns out to be evil in all the fairy tales (and coincidentally shares a name with history&apos;s most notorious appeaser). Peter is the page, doomed to never be true royalty like the king or prince, never to be the noble warrior like the knight, and never wield power and influence like the chamblerlain - instead, he is the lowest member of the royal court, who serves royalty but will never be their equal.<br><br>It&apos;s absolute genius.

  That confrontation that Gary and Andy have at The Worlds End is still engrained in my mind. Such a heartbreaking scene

  Gary King&apos;s whole struggle of not being able to &quot;grow up&quot; gets more and more relatable for me every day. I&apos;m in my 20&apos;s now, and yet due to my mental conditions, i&apos;m progressing much slower than all of my friends and it sucks, it really does. I genuinely feel like I&apos;m not cut out for the adult world due to it sometimes, and it makes me see just how easy it would be to become a Gary King. It&apos;s such a real portrayal of...stagnation.
