NEW HAVEN, CONNECTICUT ¨C The other night, as a sort of psycho-cultural experiment, I tried to watch ¡°The Usual Suspects,¡± for many years one of my favorite movies.
I couldn¡¯t do it.
I stopped less than two minutes in. The film is brilliantly done and has long fascinated me. I used to quote the dialogue all the time. I¡¯m pretty sure I¡¯ll never again quote a single line. All because the film stars Kevin Spacey and was directed by Bryan Singer, both of whom have come down hard as the #MeToo movement storms through the entertainment industry.
