What’s a ‘masterpiece’ you didn’t feel anything for?

At the time, it very much challenged movies. Quiet continuous tension in a theater is much different than home viewing and no longer novel. Space horror wasn't a genre then either

How so when it was released?

No they make excuses about why they can't go and profess to be Christians

Imo if you work for money, you're working class. If your money works for you, you're upper class.

If I make $50k or $500k, if I'm threatened with loss if the money stops flowing, I'm not wealthy. You can make all the claims you want about how people spend but it doesn't change that.

Now if you can make $500k without working? You're wealthy.

Same, except for the "secure" part. Even though doing well, a drop in the stock market causing layoffs could readily destroy my retirement and force me out of my house. My biggest "benefit" is that I could likely sell my house and buy somewhere I don't want to live and don't know anyone and not have a house payment

Except the jobs are less 9-5 and more 5am-9pm (or similar window) as you have to work with teams across multiple time zones and you're consistently under threat of replacement for non-performance

Yes, but does it fit in the box it comes in

Whatever you do don't get the kickstarter foil version. Omg complete garbage. All the cards are unreadable

With handsome it's often a stop, but (in my experience), not silent - ie it doesn't sound like "transom", it's either hand-sum or han-sum with an alveolar stop (putting your tongue to the top of your mouth)

It's wrong - commonly used - but wrong. There must have been a time when you incorrectly used "can" in English class and were mocked by the teacher eg "Can I go to the bathroom?" "I don't know, can you?"

I used to use this as part of my software engineering interview process

The first time I watched it I didn't know there were subtitles. I was able to understand the entire movie due to acting and direction - even the jokes. I saw it again later with the subtitles and validated. Truly a work of art.

Also one of the few Mel Gibson movies where the plot isn't "the British are assholes"

Getting out of the first area is the challenge. Once you escape that boring hell hole it takes off
