Okay, hear me out. I'm about to say something controversial. Something that might make you clutch your pearls.
Ready? I want I Want to Eat Your Pancreas for free. There. I said it.
Is It Just Me?
Am I the only one who feels this way? Maybe I'm a monster. Perhaps I'm just cheap. But honestly, I think it's more than that.
Let's be real. We've all been there. You see a movie title. It sounds... interesting. Then you check the price.
Suddenly, that "interesting" movie becomes significantly less interesting. It's like a switch flips.
The Principle of the Thing
It's not always about the money, is it? Sometimes, it's the principle. Why should I pay for something I might not even like?
Especially with a title like I Want to Eat Your Pancreas. That's a gamble. A big, pancreatic gamble.
Don't get me wrong. I'm not saying artists shouldn't be compensated. They absolutely should!
But maybe, just maybe, there's a way to watch it without, you know, *directly* funding the pancreatic eating. Metaphorically speaking, of course. Because, realistically, who actually wants to eat a pancreas?
The Streaming Dilemma
Streaming services are the modern-day conundrum. You pay for a subscription. You expect access to everything. Right?
Then you discover I Want to Eat Your Pancreas isn't included. Another service? Another subscription? Ugh!
It's death by a thousand subscriptions. Soon, you're paying more than you ever did for cable. Is this progress?
Sharing is Caring (Maybe?)
Remember the good old days of borrowing DVDs? Or even VHS tapes? (Showing my age here.)
Someone buys it, everyone watches it. Simple. Elegant. Cost-effective.
Now, everything is locked down. Protected. Digitally handcuffed. Where's the community spirit gone?
The Power of Word-of-Mouth
Think about it. If I see I Want to Eat Your Pancreas for free, and I love it? I'm going to tell everyone.
My friends, my family, random people on the internet. Free marketing! A viral sensation!
Suddenly, demand skyrockets. More people buy merchandise. The sequel gets greenlit! Everyone wins! (Except maybe the pancreas.)
But... Legally Speaking...
Okay, okay. I know what you're thinking. "That's illegal!" "Piracy is wrong!"
And you're probably right. I'm not advocating for anything illegal. I'm just... daydreaming. Hypothetically speaking.
What if there was a magical world where movies appeared on your screen without any monetary exchange? A world of cinematic free love?
In Conclusion (Or is it?)
So, there you have it. My unpopular opinion. I Want to Eat Your Pancreas. For free. And I'm not entirely ashamed of it.
Maybe I'll eventually break down and pay for it. Maybe I'll find a friend who already owns it. Maybe I'll just wait for it to magically appear on a streaming service I already subscribe to.
Until then, I'll continue to dream of a world where movies, even the ones with slightly disturbing titles, are freely available for all to enjoy. A world where everyone can experience the cinematic joy (or existential dread) of I Want to Eat Your Pancreas without breaking the bank.
