Some people want to be able to watch a movie “for the first time” all over again. Others want to forget a rubbish one. If you could remove just one movie from your memory, which would it be?

    The Gift, starring Jason Bateman.

    The movie itself is fairly well made, albeit low budget af because it’s a Netflix movie. The problem is the plot.

    spoiler

    A kid that Jason Bateman’s character used to bully in high school grows up and becomes a terrifying stalker out to get revenge. Jason Bateman’s wife at first is terrified, but then leaves him after it’s revealed he used to be a bully. Because THAT’S what you should focus on right? You should definitely be concerned with the type of person “someone who wants to kill you” says your husband used to be 30 years ago. Not the “someone who wants to kill you” person. Nope. They’re alright.
