I think the point of the movie is that she’s acting like that because Bear made her that way with his wish. The only people responsible for women acting out/responding in that way are the men in their lives who remove their agency.
Dude has “dedicated his life to reducing gun violence” in his bio and is actively advocating for wiping an entire nation of people off the face of the planet.
Say whatever you need to say to yourself. They bombed facilities that were being used to secure weapons and attack Israel. Say whatever you need to say to yourself, Hamas did that. Oh, they also did October 7th and took hostages. Say whatever you need to say to yourself, the terrorists that you defend, did this. Israel had every right to defend itself.
Say whatever you need to say to yourself to feel what you want.
That’s 8 years and 2 movies later, regardless of the book (in which they were not together). I feel like it’s even more understandable that the 40 year old career paleontologist would not end up with his 24 year old girlfriend in the end.
I actually like the sometimes maligned Jurassic Park 3, but it still pisses me off that it had Alan Grant childless & Ellie married to another guy. Talk about missing the point of this shot, which is the purest "Okay, I'm ready to be a parent now" moment in cinematic history.
I read his wish as her loving him more than she loved *anyone else* in the world. Wasn’t about anyone else loving him, he didn’t care about that, he wanted her to love him.
Her obsession was with him, not with loving him more than someone else loved him.
I really like this theory because it doesn't change the rules of the wish,it just makes you think about the whole occurrence differently.
Sarah was not the problem, but if Nikki had to love Bear more than anyone else, then every person who genuinely loved him would've forced the curse to push Nikki's obsession even further. That's a pretty dark implication.

I find Felix Biederman almost unbearable to listen to. It’s sad because I used to look up to him and found his righteous anger very compelling. He’s so checked out. I understand it all. I just wish they would have the heart to either do something else or make a drastic change.
Having just recently seen The Babadook for the first time I can safely say that Insidious and The Conjuring are largely responsible for the massive turn in horror. Both of which James Wan had a major hand in developing billion dollar franchises.
It’s curious how often Hereditary gets talked about as the film that started the current trend in horror cinema when that trend had already been in full swing for years by that point. The real trendsetter was arguably The Babadook, but the trend started even earlier than that
On this subject: Obsession is a well-made, very small-scale horror movie with extremely apparent flaws, first and foremost a narrative glibness and emotional incuriosity you'd expect from an internet sketch comedy team
Am I taking too much pleasure in seeing Minnesota’s arena EMPTY after getting destroyed in Game 6? Perhaps.
But that fanbase deserves nothing less. You guys are Round 2 merchants. Denver does championships.
