It was one of my favourite movies as a teenager and I thought it was very cool and sophisticated and grownup but I watched it for the first time in a long time last year and was struck just how much I hated the character and the whole movie. Maybe it’s the wisdom of being the other side of 30, or having gone through a few serious relationships in that time, but man, what a complete loving tool. Those women all did the absolute right thing by ditching his petulant rear end. It’s not even like his taste in music is all that interesting, it’s just basic Springsteen and Lou Reed-adjacent poo poo.

Kingo Ligma posted:This is the entire point of the movie and it spends it's entire run time telling the audience "this guy sucks and is wrong don't be like him" and at the end John Cusack says out loud "I sick and was wrong and nobody should be like that". I get that’s the arc (though I think the ways he’s shown to have “changed” at the end are pretty weak) - I was probably just feeling revulsion at myself for once thinking he was cool and aspirational because he had a big record collection and a cool leather jacket and skinny jeans drip
