    Can we watch something happy?

    I understand hating Skinamarink. I think the tendency of the internet to reward outsized anger (whereby a movie cannot simply be disliked, or even just bad, but representative of the downfall of an entire genre, or medium, or possibly even civilization itself; and Letterboxd surely loves such catastrophizing), as well as aggressive glibness, creates an environment in which a thing, disliked, must necessarily be stripped of all extant merit. Do I do this myself? Probably…

    "Because you wanted to."

    Francois Truffaut famously said that it's impossible to make an anti-war war movie, because the act of depicting it always inadvertently ends up glorifying it; that which is supposed to horrify, instead titillates. One begins to suspect that the same may be true of Ted Bundy films. And if the industry maintains its current trajectory, the latter sub-genre may soon become more numerous than the former.
