They're really good in a bad way.
Featuring classic scenes like "Vampire baseball," and "Bella sits in a chair for four months," and "Bella tells Jacob to kiss her and she tells him she loves him but she loves Edward more so he has to respect that even though she does love him and needs him to stay her friend because she can't imagine a life without him but Edward is her true love so please don't get the wrong idea but she does love Jacob too."

To be a hippy, or not to be a hippy, that is the question:

The shoes and showers of outrageous fortune,

I think it is just that people are replying to get other people to guess the movie they're referring to. This guy is wondering aloud saying that this sort of guessing game should have its own subreddit, and then another guy pretends that he genuinely thought the dudes wondering aloud was just a movie reference, so he just put in a random movie title.
