The Family Man as in Nicholas Cage/Tia Leoni? That's up there with Secondhand Lions for movies I was not expecting to see in this thread.
Ah yes, the year of "There Will Be Old Men". But seriously, I agree, but probably in reverse order. No Country may actually be my all-time favorite now that I think about it.
Oh yes. The characters are so great. John C. Reilly's character especially. And Tom Cruise was never more appropriately cast.
Man if a movie was ever prescient...
Yeah that's how I feel about ads targeting children (even when the products are intended for children): they are not yet equipped to look at the ads critically and recognize when they're being manipulated.
Yes! I remember when they first introduced it and I had to make sure I wasn't hallucinating that the cursor was blowing up.
You must mean plane-et.
Yeah it makes perfect sense once you realize there are almost no lone consonant phonemes in Japanese.
The idea of specifically choosing motorcycle as your Costco mode of transport is hilarious, but I suppose panniers beat lugging a bunch of bags on a train. Also, my brother did a foreign exchange program in Okinawa when he was in high school, and I'm often reminded of how he said his host-father pronounced Costco as "Co-su-tu-co".
Do you have any theories as to why this is the case? I haven't gone anywhere near it, so I have no idea. I imagine it's tied up with the way it processes things from a language-first perspective, which I gather is why it's bad at math. I really don't understand enough to wrap my head around why we can't seem to combine LLM and traditional computational logic.
Oh that Count of Monte Cristo is so fun. I wouldn't have thought of it just now, but I do find myself moved to rewatch it every so often.
