    Eternal sunshine of a spotless mind. I walked away thinking wow that was boring and I really hate Jim carry.

      Jim Harry’s best role was the mask. Because his normal stupid Jim carry shit fits well with the character. Other than that he annoys the shit out of me.

        I like Jim Barry but I can see why if you don’t click then his antics would get annoying very quickly.

          My highschool English teacher agreed with you. We spent half the semester watching and rewatching it and analysing the religious symbolism and discussing the films commentary on celebrity culture and fanaticism. I’m forever scarred by the experience.

            Plenty to digest with the movie, especially given when it came out. Survivor was just getting big in the States, things like Road Rules had been on for a bit. Voyeur TV was big.

            Feels like great fodder for long form YouTube essays, but I’m not so sure about high schoolers studying it, lol

      One of my favorite movies but I definitely get this take on it, isn’t for everyone
