After the debacle of the sad movie about a gay guy who killed himself (sorry, I suck at titles), N has been refusing to go to the movies.
To lure him into a theater, I chose what I thought would be the safest, completely non-traumatic genre of romcom. I never watch this kind of movie, so I thought it would be fun to explore something that’s new to me and that wouldn’t make N feel sad.
We made plans to go to Trainwreck which sounded like an innocuous little flick. Who could have known that it would prove so deeply controversial that a mass murderer would choose it as a site of a killing spree in a town where I almost went to work instead of my current place?
And now N doesn’t sound that interested in going.
