It is never cool or worthwhile to speculate about the reasons that led up to a couple’s divorce. First of all it is none of our business, and second of all there are things — no matter how public the person’s relationship may seem — that one just couldn’t possibly know about, not being in the relationship themselves. Like maybe someone never even cared about watching the other person’s TV shows at all, or maybe someone just didn’t GET the other one anymore, or maybe someone was arrested for for having sex with an underage girl and videotaping it, or maybe someone saw The Notebook and that person was R. Kelly and then that is how he knew he had to get a divorce. From MTV:
“As the film credits started to roll, I couldn’t move. I burst into tears. People walking past me patted me on the back, trying to console me. ‘The Notebook’ was beautiful, and I was crying because its hero and heroine had died together. But I was also crying because I remembered a Valentine’s Day — when a helicopter dropped a rainfall of roses — that had come and gone … My marriage had died. And there was nothing I could do to bring it back.”
How many lives will you have to take until you are satisfied, The Notebook? ALL OF THEM? Please, everyone, take this anecdote from R. Kelly’s new memoir, Soulacoaster: The Diary of Me, which is a perfect name for anyone’s memoir, I can’t even believe how far he hit it out of the park with the name of that memoir, as a warning. Do not see The Notebook, unless you want your life to be irrevocably ruined. And please stay away ESPECIALLY if you don’t want to remember that time a helicopter dropped a rainfall of roses. ‘Cause that shit is gonna hurt. (Via Vulture.)

So was it The Notebook that ruined his marriage, or was it the time that he paid a man in a helicopter to rain thorny death from above?
Somewhere, Nicholas Sparks is picking up a copy of Soulacoaster: The Diary of Me, saying “This is what I write.”
How about a spoiler alert next time, R. Kelly?
What a coincidence! When I was working at a movie theater and had to watch the end of The Notebook for the 50th time while waiting to clean the theater, I also burst into tears and knew that it was time to move on to a new job.

Hey! Only WE can say that word.
when I saw Eternal Sunshine in the theater for the first time, I went with an ex girlfriend I broke up with 4 months before. we had dated for nearly 4 years and had been on/off for a while. it couldn’t have been a more appropriate time to see it. when we left the theater she said we should be together. i immediately told her no and there was no chance I was going to change my mind.
one of the best decisions [and movies] i’ve ever made [seen].
Very interesting. Similarly but, perhaps, with less magnitude: I went on a triple date to go see The Klumps. We broke up days later.
This is just like that time I saw Maria Full of Grace and decided that being a coke mule *wasn’t* the glamour-filled life of travel and adventure I was seeking. Sometimes I wish I had seen it NOT on the plane returning from Colombia, but what can you do?
I had just run away from my family after accidentally killing my father when I saw The Lion King for the first time. That movie really helped me realize that I needed to go back to my family, admit what I did, and battle my uncle for my rightful place as king. Plus, I saw it with my two best friends, Tumba and Pimone.
R. Kelly has bad comprehension skills. The couple in The Notebook had a bland, shallow relationship until they were about to die. He should have waited 50 years and seen what happened then.
I wished I’d seen the notebook before I read Soulercoaster, its ruined now.THIS IS THE END FOR ME AND YOUR LITERARY OUTPUT R KELLY.
