What’s the point of hating […] if you’re hating something you made up […] ?
Might as well hate Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind because it had a cameo from Jeffrey Epstein
My text wasn’t super clear but I was saying that people who make shit up about things and then hate it for that reason are silly. I then made up a ridiculous thing about a great movie. A movie I refuse to ever watch again but still.
Oh, I’m not the only one who can’t watch Eternal Sunshine again? Used to be one of my favorite films…
Crazy how things can be tied so strongly to memories… Particularly when it’s a poignant piece of art that is far too relatable. Charlie Kaufman is a genius.
Immediately after finishing it I knew I’d never watch it again. Same thing with We Need To Talk About Kevin or Dear Zachary. That last one is a documentary about where I’m from but still. Somethings you only need to see once. Anything more than that is pain. That’s how Eternal Sunshine came out for me. Beautiful in its tragedy but the beauty comes from the pain. I deal with my own stuff as is. Watching movies like that a second time causes me so much anxiety and grief.
“The act of killing” plays that role for me. The most amazing movie I have ever watched, but I’ve just been able to watch it a handful of times. Haven’t gathered the courage to watch the follow up, “The look of silence” yet.
For real. Something that blew my mind though… years after the Spacey thing I finally saw the face of the person who made the accusations against him first.
When I first heard the accusations I had no idea who the person was.
But after watching Star Trek: Discovery for a couple years, I was floored to find out that Stamets was the one who called out Kevin Spacey. My favorite Trek character called out my former favorite actor and ruined his career.
Wait what?

Oh, I thought you meant the movie actually had an Epstein cameo and I somehow never noticed lol

I watched Dear Zachary twice. No tears.
Then you’re dead inside.
Although, it might bother me now, as a father. I have finally acquired the ability of empathy in my late thirties.
Fucking Kevin Spacey. So many great movies I just can’t watch anymore.

Spacey ruined his own career.
