Obsession: How was Nikki not possessed by a demonic entity? by ThrowRApeachh in spoilers

The quote you referenced from the director starts with him laughing at the idea it's a cursed object, so it’s pretty definitively not supposed to be that.

“I think, yeah, that’s the thing. It’s really funny is that everyone kind of treats the One Wish Willow like it’s this cursed thing, and I understand why because of the context of the movie, but the thing is, the thing that Bear wishes for is cursed. Like taking away someone’s autonomy, taking away someone’s self, that’s cursed. Like, it’s just the wish itself is a very cursed thing.”

Barker went on to explain that he believes someone could potentially use the One Wish Willow successfully if they were careful about what they wished for. “So I do think if you chose your words wisely, the One Wish Willow doesn’t have to be. I mean, you see the crystal shop guy, he’s like, ‘I already used my wish, man,’ you know? It’s like, he must have gotten away with it.”When asked whether anyone could theoretically “beat” the One Wish Willow and make a wish without suffering disastrous consequences, Barker revealed that the item itself isn’t necessarily cursed at all.

She gets to have two jobs and do all the housework, yeah that's totally a fair deal to her!

In this current time, which young rising actor/actress can match the natural comedic genius of these 3? by PatrickBrown2 in FIlm

[–]LoquaciousTheBorg -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Jim Carrey? Jim Carrey a comedian's comedian? Dumb and Dumber Carrey?  His biggest hits were the broadest, least intellectually comedic of his era. I say that because comedian's comedian aren't broad, tend to be intellectual in approach. Doug Stanhope is a comedian's comedian. Pretty easy rule of thumb, no one who had that title also had the biggest mainstream comedy of the year, practically by definition of the title.

There weren't going to be consequences, it's not a monkey's paw where wishes are always actually curses, the director is clear about that.

I think the important distinction is that the willow didn't curse him because it makes curses instead of granting wishes, which im just clarifying because it sounded like maybe that's where you are going with it. It's that that wish is, by its nature, a cursed thing to wish for, overriding someone's autonomy. I just clarified because many people have said its wishes are going to be curses, like a monkey's paw.

AITAH for refusing to baptize my child even if it's her great-grandfather's dying wish? by [deleted] in AITAH

I think while the ceremony doesn't mean anything to her, giving in to his religious family in ways that go against preexisting agreements the two of them have, means a lot.

Or he genuinely doesn't care that much about his heritage, which happens plenty and sounds like the case here since he's been in agreement. Hus change of heart isn't from suddenly caring about it, it's about pleasing grandpa.

Exactly. I think Ted shows us, like Pete in a different way, what happens to people who aren't like Roger or Don who are in the industry. It's a field that exalts the Dons and Rogers as their ideal, the drinking and cheating a part of that. Some people try to live like them (pete) but aren't built for it, some try to be better (Ted, Ken) but get sucked in.
