Seven Pounds (spoilers)

I haven’t seen the movie Seven Pounds and I have no desire to, but I’ve found some of the reviews hilarious and entertaining.

Manages the not inconsiderable feat of being both painfully predictable and preposterous to the point of being demented.

Husband and I also read a bunch of spoilers for the movie because they were much more entertaining sounding than the movie itself, and probably have more artistic flair. Remember – I don’t have any idea if this is in any way true, but just in case I’m going to tuck the spoilers away as a matter of form.

Remember, what follows is a big spoiler.

You’ve been warned.

Is this movie really about a man who commits suicide by letting his pet jellyfish sting him to death? His pet jellyfish?

Just typing the phrase “pet jellyfish” makes me laugh. Every time I try to say it out loud I end up laughing so hard I end up crying and wheezing. If Will Smith doesn’t really have a pet jellyfish in this movie please don’t tell me, because it’s making me very happy to think he does.

    I was going to call you earlier to say, “pet jellyfish” but I was laughing too hard to even get the words out.
