neutral · AI labelView post →Forgetting Sarah Marshall is a pretty great movie tainted by the fact that a lot of its cast has just become impossible to like in decades since its release. I'm sure there are other examples of this but it really stands out as an example.

Comedian and actor Russell Brand has been accused of rape, sexual assaults and emotional abuse during a seven-year period at the height of his fame.

Brand has denied the allegations and said his relationships have been "always consensual". During the years covered by the…

And yet, watching it, it somehow feels like a film from a completely different era than we live in now. Have a feeling this is only going to become more pronounced with 00’s comedies.
