I had a strange sort of affinity for "Everything Must Go." I think it's because a year earlier I went bust ass broke due to selling our house at a steep loss, at the end of 2008. Brutal. Not the cheating part, just the concept of being thrown out of your house. It was sappy, of course, but also sometimes a movie like this can be timely to your own experiences.

I saw an interview with Michael Keaton about a bomb he made called, "My Life," and it was a bad movie, but some cancer patients really resonated with the storyline. How the family coped etc. That makes sense to me.

Of course, I liked The Matrix Revolutions.

I haven't heard of My Life--sounds helpful for the situation, and yeah, the right movie at the right time. Sounds like this right movie hit you too, lol. Really devastating stuff.

I just looked it up and it's from 93! (My Life). Yeah, don't watch it, that's over the top sap.

Yeah, haha, I remember watching Philadelphia after hearing how good it was, and it's like, ahh . . . maybe not an *entertaining* movie, though, lol. Anything in a hospital is sort of precarious.

I heard a few years ago most of these movies are based on a kind of genre called "Sick-Lit." Maybe this is common knowledge, but it ain't my cup of tea.

Yeah, that sounds like if nothing else kind of monotonous, but then also monotonous in a bad way, lol.

Like Shogun.

Don't tell anybody I said that. I'll be murdered... by a ninja.

I'll get back to you after I get through Episode 3.

Also, I have commercials with my plan, so you know, that may play a part.
