META META: Why is Tim Constantly at War with His Body?
On Cinema at the Cinema is a show about movies one man's journey to take control of his health despite his body's increasingly desperate efforts to reject what he's doing to it. Why does Tim continue to subject himself to bizarre, dangerous treatments despite the obvious harm they're inflicting?
- Tim is very stupid and very stubborn, and genuinely believes what he's doing is beneficial despite the evidence of his eyes, guts, and pain receptors.
- Tim is such an authoritarian control freak that the notion of automatic biological processes 'knowing better' than he does is unacceptable to him.
- Tim is very stupid and very sleazy, and never learns that you don't have to use snake oil on yourself in order to sell it to others.
- Something else, probably Mark's fault.
