Oh man, that coat hanger thing sounds rough. What worked for me after a bad movie night was watching the sequel with friends who also hated the first one, so we could just laugh at how bad it was together. Honestly the second Birdemic is even worse in a fun way and my brother and I made a whole game of it. Maybe try that instead of watching it alone, or just tap out and protect your sanity.

I started asking for itemized time in writing, and the vague "review" charges dropped fast.

Two lines max, one point. Shane Dawson drama taught me people want the take, not the timeline.
