200 Cigarettes (1999). Oh no, a movie with Courtney Love. Why were people in the 90s trying to make her a "thing"?
Still, the movie is a fascinating trash. It has many famous actors like Ben Affleck and Paul Rudd, so it's fascinating to see bunch of future movie stars in a movie that goes nowhere. You quickly realize that the reason why this movie has so many characters is because they are dumb and have nothing to say so that when they say something dumb and inconsequential, the filmmakers can quickly cut to the other pair of characters that say something dumb and inconsequential, and then cut away until they reach a circle.
It's about a group of young people trying to celebrate New Year's in various places in NYC—yeah, a really thrilling premise. And what "young" stands for is one-dimensional people who simply exist to celebrate New Year's. Needless to say, Kirk Cameron did this much better, although with Christmas, but it's close.

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
