Patrick I'm so happy for you

I've got some of the same apprehensions, but boy it is so much better than any of the other Ito adaptations. I am still cautiously optimistic!

god I am so excited that it's soup/stew/baking season again

I've been thinking about the "Pick up my hat!" gag for days now. That and how adjacent Megalopolis (and stuff like Southland Tales) is to Kojima's oeuvre

a lot of peasant brain "I will only believe things I see with my eyes and even then only like 20% of the time" going around online these days

"Education" is also not getting applied evenly -- women are graduating college at higher rates than men

it is bad but more interesting than any Marvel movie

"David, you have a degree in economics."

it's adjacent to our commitment to believing that stimulus checks were responsible for inflation of durable goods prices and not the massive PPP loans

it's all I could think about during the movie
