    In high school, we had a movie review section in our student newspaper. The one time I read it was because they reviewed Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. They said it was awful and Carey was boring. Haven’t taken media reviews seriously since.

      My wife said Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind was an incredible film, and she made me watch it with her. I remember hating every minute of it and thinking it was an awful film. But that was nearly 2 decades ago; I’m actually interested in giving it another watch and seeing if I just didn’t give it a proper chance the first time.

        I’ll say it’s one of my favorite movies but I’ve never wanted to rewatch it. Maybe it’s weird but it feels appropriate to preserve it as a fond memory.
