Jimmy mentioned that the store only does a full inventory a few times a year by which point the video would be gone. It was a pretty ingenious scam.
Good connection. Looking at the character pics side by side you can definitely see it--though Gerwig is a bit more Farrah while Hasson is a bit more Madonna.
The twist with Gerwig's character in HOTD was totally unexpected for me. Wish this one had a scene that jolted me like that.
It's hard to imagine living with that level of guilt. Not just that a wrong place/wrong time moment got an innocent person killed, but that all your previous actions were what led to that person being there. It's clear now that Kim has a better heart than Jimmy.
But I think you're giving Jeff more credit than he deserves. He's not the sharpest tool in the shed. You can see the "oh shit" expression on his face when he crawls out of the car. Pat Healy is so good in this small role.
Totally with you on this one.
I go to restaurants to relax. Don't ask me to work (scroll, scroll, scroll, zoom in, zoom out) just to figure out what to order.
BTW: I think most restaurants still using QR Code menus are doing it so they can raise prices at any time. For chains, that's more complicated to do with printed menus because they have to reprint & reship.
LEGEND.
The Walk Away is the coolest finisher move ever.

There is one moment that shows Christian's generosity (before he loses his job). It's when he gets his wallet returned and then makes a point to walk over to the homeless woman outside the 7-11. He starts handing her multiple bills even though she had behaved very rudely to him in an earlier encounter.
At that point in Maximus' life, I don't think that kind of political maneuvering was part of who he was. He was very much a "say what I think" kind of leader. And, perhaps a bit arrogantly, believed that his men would remain loyal to him. If he had spent more time with Gaius and Gracchus, he might've followed the approach you describe.
Me too. For a dark film it had some choice comedy bits.
Another one that made me chuckle was when Lurasetti says, "I'm not a racist. Every Martin Luther King Day, I order a cup of dark roast."
Zahler is very good writer with an excellent ear for dialogue.
Add to that the incredibly bizarre story Steven tells Martin about his own father that no sane adult would ever tell anyone...except for maybe in a therapist's office.
When Trudi/Mirabella tells Rick that was the best acting she's ever seen, I wonder if the rest of the crew felt the same and later talked about in front of Jim. Just a guess.
Should ask Mollie B!

I raise a toast to you Shoggie. Couldn't have said it better.
He left us with so many great performances--Brian's Song, The Godfather, Rollerball, Thief, Misery, The Way of the Gun, Elf!
Guess that's one of the perks of being a great actor--you continue to live on for future generations.
Still gives the best interviews in the entire music business.
My favorite curmudgeon!
Ah yes, the old trolley conundrum.
Good luck programming THAT algorithm.
Hope they don't eventually try to outlaw human controlled vehicles.
I feel like there would be a fair amount of folks (I'm one) who would want to hang onto their old cars. Of course, our insurance rates would probably go through the roof.
But since we're often told that self driving vehicles will eventually operate much more safely than human controlled vehicles, then the rate of accidents should decrease greatly. So, with far fewer accidents, shouldn't insurance rates come down greatly?
How many years do you figure? Seems like we're often told it's only 10 years away.
Good point. Yes, would the liability for an accident then become the responsibility of Tesla, Waymo, etc.?
1776 on TCM this afternoon!
