On working towards being a sane person

I've been reading Television Without Pity for a few years now, entirely because of the writer Jacob Clifton. He writes recaps for pretty much all of my favourite current shows and others besides, but my allegiance is not just about the teevee. His insights are profound and hilarious and deeply intelligent, drawing on philosophy and religion and psychology and pop culture and just about anything else that goes in the name of a university arts course--only (and I wish I knew how) he manages to skip right over all the potholes and pitfalls of academia and just talk about how people are. It's hard for me to explain but if you read his stuff you know. Which I recommend doing. I read the following passage in his recap of the last Weeds episode and I wanted to share it cause I liked it. For more context and a great deal more wisdom, read the rest of this page here.

Did you see that movie (500) Days Of Summer? Two vastly different films depending on who you're talking to. If you asked a sane person about it, they would say it's about an immature, slightly gay dude who tries to force every woman into an impossible romantic box that they can't possibly inhabit in order to prove something about himself. If you ask a boy, he will tell you that it's about a girl who's almost perfect, but turns out to be a whore and a bitch.
