The same type of white boy - now man - who on one hand throws a tantrum about feminists ruining his media while at the same time insisting that he never benefited from the patriarchy because, like, he was bullied for being a nerd as a kid.Īnd that's not really fair because I'm sure some very nice people enjoyed the book. It doesn't evoke positive past experiences for me instead, it evokes the annoying white boy trying to flex his nerd penis by proving that his collection of minutiae was bigger than yours. Yeah, everyone who is pointing out that it taps into a very specific type of nostalgia is on the nose. I hope it's not like the new dan brown stuff where it just got stupider than I can tolerate (Which is LD50 levels of stupid). Call it eggnog or chips ahoy or just assume I had a very clever analogy.

People typically died by tripping and falling on them, forgetting shoes and stepping on them, and in one case, not looking at their bathtub before they got in that was full of jellyfish.
Not giant, or different than regular jellyfish though. I have read a book about a town that is under attack by carnivorous jellyfish. That book left physical scarring from the level of stupid. I have read books about a special force astronaut who's girlfriend fell out of the space shuttle on re-entry so he had emotional depth. And that the best book about giant ants is the one where the ants are 3 times larger than regular ants. I have had conversations with my wife about which book I classify as the third best book about giant ants.

There's such an awareness of the inevitability of time, and how hopeless it is to struggle against it, no matter what.Ī happy ending would deny everything else in the movie. And I think that's what makes their reunion so poignant and beautiful. He sees how life as he knew it is long gone, because time changes everything. They're completely different people.Īnd when he returns, he feels the full weight of that. That Chuck at Point B isn't just Chuck from Point A after time has passed. I'm not a huge fan of the movie, but they did a great job of showing the passage of time and of showing how real transformations are over a timeline. No, I think a happy ending would have been easy and dishonest.
