I'm not! But considering that Genevive also saw it and really enjoyed it until the ending, but wound up furious at the film because of its final scene, I figured it was worth establishing a place where people who do see the movie could collectively drown their sorrows. With a less infuriating and contradictory ending,…

Probably just as well, @avclub-6f8e50436ee2db7b982c290b29f9ddbc:disqus , given that people who have seen the trailer mostly seem to be repelled by it.

Yeah, Keith in particular said the trailer made him want to flee in horror, but it's definitely a case of "Let's sell this as a cutesy populist romance in order to get people in the door, because they wouldn't show up if they knew how weird and painful it gets."

It sounded to me more like she was talking about the loneliness that comes with realizing that, unlike in the movies, having someone in love with you does not solve all problems, emotional or otherwise, and does not automatically mean the other person really knows you on a fundamental level. That's a pretty universal…

To some degree, "Ruby Sparks" did remind me of "The Future," in part because of the quirk level and in part because it starts so playful and then goes to a really dark, painful place. Though I do think the characters in "Ruby Sparks" feel more like actual potential people who could exist in the world than the ones in…
