How much of a delay are we looking at, and how much more time do you realistically need?

Which bank are you currently using? I was thinking—if you happen to switch over to Goldman Sachs—you might actually be able to pull this off through their Erste installment plan.
You could potentially grab the cash from an ATM right away (though there’ll be a fee, of course) and then just settle up via monthly payments. It might be worth swinging by a branch to see if they'll clear it for you.
If they can make it work, fantastic; if not, just shoot me a DM.

It’s almost funny, isn't it? But that's just how the world works... when you're actually desperate and need the help—they shut the door. But the moment you don't need it anymore? Suddenly, they're all over you with offers.

Let's be clear: banks aren't exactly in the business of stepping up to rescue people in the middle of a crisis.

So, Michael Wilson5, are you actually looking at getting more than two-thirds of the total amount you're after?

That’s just not happening. Honestly, tell that person they should probably just stick to using Wise instead.
The way I see it—if they go that route—the funds will land directly in your account, and you’ll likely end up saving a decent chunk of change on fees in the process.

Does anyone happen to know what the current time is on the forum right now?

So, he mentions in his initial post that he’s landed a new gig.
Now, the million-dollar question—what's the actual salary?!?!
Honestly, I’m completely lost at this point.

Look, if you’re truly in a bind and need $667 by next month—and I mean you genuinely don't have the funds lined up—and you're facing
issues covering various extra expenses or fees, I could potentially
lend you the money until you land that new job you mentioned. No interest, no strings attached.
Just shoot me a DM.

It’s all quite lovely—truly, breathtakingly beautiful—but honestly, let’s be real for a second.

No, seriously, Wes Anderson really needs to branch out and find some fresh faces,
instead of relying on the exact same troupe of actors to populate every single one of his films.

A little bit of casting variety wouldn't hurt, you know?

Was there some kind of AMC theater sale or something?
Or did you just sneak in? 🤔

People have been chewing this over on the AMC Theatres forums for ages.

Essentially, you’ve got all types—the ones constantly lit up by their phone screens, the chatterboxes,
and those absolute gatekeepers who act like they own the damn theater... yeah, that sort of thing.
When you’re dropping $25$10—which, let’s be honest, is a massive chunk of change for most people,
especially once you factor in the gas and the drive out there—you expect the cinema to be a reliable
experience; something that shouldn't just fall apart on you.

But it happens anyway, and it honestly sucks. It makes you want to demand a full refund
just because of these total idiots. But then, you don't actually do it, because—let's face it—I'm a bit of a pushover... anyway...

Chloe Morales said:An absolutely incredible film. 👍

That moment where Nobuyo asks, "Does having a child automatically make you a mother?"—that's the whole movie right there. Plus, the scene where she embraces Lyn while burning those clothes she wore as Yuri, and that quiet bathroom scene where they compare scars... just heavy stuff. 🙏

Truly a moving piece of cinema.

There are certain moments that really hit you right in the gut,
especially that one where she holds the little girl, and how she
talks about what love actually means.

The ending gave me some serious *Gone Baby Gone* vibes.
It’s a similar sort of conclusion—where everything gets settled and put back in its place,
justice is served according to the letter of the law, I suppose, but at what kind of cost?

Honestly, I really feel that Steve did his part as a father.
It was genuinely refreshing to see him tackle a dramatic role. It doesn't even
surprise me anymore—how often these comedians turn out to be such powerhouse
dramatic actors.

The only real drawback to this gorgeous film is that it’s based on a true story.
If it were fiction, it might have had that gut-punching ending—one without a
happy ending—that you just felt brewing for a while. Especially during those final
scenes. But instead, we get a bit of a "resurrection" at the end.

Still, watching his downward spirals is absolutely harrowing.
It’s wild how a kid who has been handed so much by life
can possess such an incredible flaw. I think the film feels a bit elitist because of that, too.
Since the dad actually has the money to bail him out, in addition to all the love.
There are plenty of kids out there who are struggling financially; they fall into these patterns and they're basically done for.
They don't have that kind of safety net.

That said, there are a few truly great, haunting scenes.
Like the one where he talks about his addiction, when someone asks him:

"What is your problem?"
And he responds—"I am an alcoholic and an addict."
To which the other person replies— "That isn't your problem; that is just how you
are coping with your problem" —the way you deal with it.

The actual cause lies somewhere much deeper...
And through his conversation with his dad early in the movie, you can start to uncover exactly where.

The 2019 Oscar winner.
Look, people can argue about the Oscars all they want—it’s practically a national pastime—but in this case, the film truly earned its trophy.
Between the top-tier animation, the gripping narrative, and that sheer sense of innovation, it’s just a masterpiece.

Douglas Gray8 said:I always find it funny when people use the phrase "we're in this together." It’s usually just a way of saying they'd be willing to sacrifice everything if they were actually the ones in charge. I have plenty of colleagues who love to say "we," but in my experience? They really aren't part of the "we" at all.

fadedhawk26 said:So, what was the poet actually getting at here? 😁

Here we go—just your typical "us" mentality:

We actually did it... we pulled it off—we’ve officially punched our ticket to the next round!
Look, I mean—it’s a certain kind of psychological phenomenon, isn't it? You don't just sit in the stands or watch from your couch like some detached observer; you genuinely internalize the struggle. As a fan, you start to view yourself as an intrinsic part of the roster—you’re mentally tethered to the players, the coaches, even the very fabric of the franchise itself. It’s as if your own pulse starts syncing up with the rhythm of the game.
Look, you’re one of them too—you were right there in front of the TV, cheering them on just like everyone else. So when we say "we," we really mean all of us.
Even if, in reality, they’re actually just you—and that whole "we're all in this together" sentiment doesn't really hold much water, except for the fact that...
It seems to instill a certain sense of pride in you—for reasons I can only assume are quite specific.

hiddenorca6 said:Just downloaded it! I'll get to watching soon, though I have to admit, I’m not exactly a fan of how Trier's movies tend to drag you through the mud.

In that case, you might be better off watching something else entirely. 🤦

I think the whole point is that there are certain people who are just so incredibly draining
that you really ought to steer clear of them—provided you’re
self-aware enough to realize they have the potential to get under your skin.

If he had actually been decent, he could have just left her
to fend for herself, rather than making things conditional—forcing her to tie it up or else...

But since you mentioned that even you, regardless of how he might
or anyone else would 😁

All in all, though, you hit the nail on the head: the film is genuinely pretentious and an absolute slog to sit through.

Though, I have to admit—given my penchant for dark humor—that bit after the second murder,
which was handled with such clumsy ineptitude, when the rain starts pouring down... that actually gave me a genuine laugh.
Especially considering the synopsis paints him as this highly sophisticated serial killer,
when the guy practically relies more on sheer luck than actual brains.

There are also segments where the movie veers into pure absurd comedy—it essentially
jumps from genre to genre so wildly that it occasionally becomes hard to watch because of the cringe factor.

I mean, everyone’s entitled to vent about whatever gets under their skin.

I've grown somewhat accustomed to the constant complaints about this Reddit dying out—
though back when I first joined and realized how much people obsess over tiny little emojis, I figured everyone was just being overly sensitive.
But here we are, and apparently, this is what I'll be writing about this year.

Example:

Code:


though—it seems pretty obvious to me—that those code tags are actually intended to prevent the video content itself from displaying.

Yeah, well, Horatius pointed out over at the Aronofsky film confession booth that certain scenes actually reminded me of his work.
