Hi, Stillthinking94, and welcome to Psych Central! As you already know, your connecting the year something was made with what went on in your life is not a good thing. I don't think most folks pay attention to when something was made--except in the case of cars or electronics.

Maybe search for a comedy movie or another good movie that was made in that year and watch it with someone else--and when you see you enjoy it, then a dent will be made in your "theory." That's a start anyway. Anyone have any ideas? I didn't see many movies that year. Oh, and do everything you can to make the experience enjoyable--such as popcorn and a soda, etc.

What else came out in that year? Books? This one sounds entertaining:

We Are Never Meeting in Real Life by Samantha Irby
Often it feels like the phrase "laugh-out-loud" is tossed around willy-nilly when describing a comical book—rarely does the work deliver on the promise. Not so in Irby's wackadoodle, raw, and relatable book of essays, which is guaranteed to make you LOL for real. Irby amassed a cult following with her *****es Gotta Eat blog, which she wrote while she was working full time at an animal hospital, and her memoir, Meaty, is in TV development by Jessi Klein, head writer for Inside Amy Schumer, and Broad City co-creator/star Abbi Jacobson. Now, in her book of essays, Irby shares her hilarious application to be a contestant on The Bachelorette, the life lessons she learned from her 14 years at the animal hospital, and what she's willing to do for love. (Purchasing and assembling equipment of the sexual kind with some Barbie-scented latex accoutrement gives you a taste of what's to come.)
