Closer >>> Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind

I haven't seen Closer but that seems like a weird pairing.

Closer >>> Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind

I can't agree with this, though I agree they are both great.

The damage done to relationships in decline.

I just keep seeing Eternal on a bunch of Best of the Decade lists, and rarely see closer.  I know the nuts in this nuthouse go nutty for Eternal Sunshine, but I had to post anyway.

(I think in general, the people on these boards are unfairly kind to films with the word 'Sunshine' in the title.  Little Miss Sunshine being the exception.)

Eternal Sunshine is crap. There I said it. I don't feel for either of these people and they should forget eachother. I think it paints a bleak picture of love and relationships.
Hey, nice marmot!

I don't have a problem with love and relationships being painted bleakly, but I do agree, it sucks.

Now if they were blue, anyone who doubted it's absolute greatness would be participating in "mental masturbation" :)

After I saw it I told my friend it was a 'mess-terpiece'.  I believe there's a masterpiece in there, but what's on screen is an uneven mess.

Then I laughed at my clever new wordplay, quickly realized it was really lame and stayed silent for the rest of the evening.
