#eternally grateful to randomfoggytiger

I watched "Reverse the Curse" - a huge thank you to @randomfoggytiger who made it possible. I will forever think of the movie as Bucky Fucking Dent. I feel like most of us do.

Let me start by saying that I loved the book when it came out. It's such a heartfelt story. I'm not always the biggest fan of DD's writing; it can feel like he's just rambling. Still, I love Bucky Fucking Dent for the story that lay underneath it.

It's the same with the movie. I've wanted to see it since it was announced. Will I ever learn not to go in with too many expectations? Time will tell, but the signs aren't good. Anyway. I went in with too many of them and of course, they couldn't uphold.

Do you ever consume a piece of media at the wrong time? I feel like that might be me and this movie. I liked it. I really liked it. It's wonderful, and heartfelt and the father-son story is so well done. DD's acting really is incredible. I just couldn't connect to it emotionally. There were moments when I would have liked more depth. I didn't laugh once. Well, humor is subjective anyway.

I think it's a movie that I will have to watch again. Without expectations, without any baggage of any kid. It's the kind of movie I feel you should watch on a crisp day in Autumn when the sun is out and you're caught between two seasons.
