As wasa pointed out, the movie is certainly worth a watch. That’s about the highest praise I can offer. However, if you're looking for originality, you won't find it here; it’s steeped in clichés. Nothing truly groundbreaking, nothing new under the sun...
Take that scene where the mobster says, "You and I, we have something in common..." 🤣 It follows the usual beats: a tragic romance, the steadfast friend, loyalty to a wayward brother, and that broad social commentary we see everywhere... 🥱
Since we are already on the subject of various elections, I happened to be listening to KRO earlier today, where they were announcing the nominees for Person of the Year—and let me tell you, the suspense was palpable...

Personally, I would be perfectly satisfied if most of the current Dodgers roster could at least manage to stop the ball properly; as for their other skills, let’s not even get started. 😁
I’m no expert, but I suspect this might be the most painful European defeat Hajduk has ever endured in its entire 94-year history.
I hate to say "I told you so" - but I told you so 😁

"The odds of a brick falling from a roof onto your head are significantly higher than being attacked by a shark," Douglas points out.
Should such an unlikely encounter actually occur, he suggests that staying calm is your best course of action—unless, of course, the swimmer is in immediate peril, in which case one should attempt to strike the shark in the eye.

Do you also happen to have two different voices arguing inside your head?
Do you find yourself frequently targeted by such attacks?

We’re all in this together, aren't we? Just a group of us, standing side by side. 👍 😁
Keith James812 said:Oh boy... are we really pivoting to chauvinistic and sexist remarks now? 🙄 Why couldn't we just use gender-neutral language, like "they said," or perhaps "he or she said"? 🙄
I had my suspicions before, but after seeing this, I am absolutely certain that you actually *want* me to put you on my ignore list... 🙄 😁

Your Honor, my client is simply under a bit of stress because she was spotted dining out on Martha's Vineyard. I ask for your patience and understanding. 🙂
