There is a cult in the movie whose adherents dress like an infamous paedophile Jimmy Saville. I guess the US equivalent would be Bill Cosby. People in NA are not getting the connotations and are cosplaying as this person at screenings.
It's as representative of Scotland as Fort Boyard is of France
I think the sex scene at the start of Don't Look Now when the couple have just lost their daughter to drowning is an example of an essential scene for the plot. There is so much psychological depth in the two grieving people trying to find solace in each other.
This film had just come out when we had family friends come and visit us from the states. There were kind of tragic circumstances because my dad's friend, who he'd met on a student elective in the 70s in New York, had recently killed himself but he'd always loved visiting Scotland. His brother, nephew and uncle were visiting to see what had resonated with him so much about Scotland.
Anyway this movie came up in conversation around the kitchen table and my dad asked his deceased friend's uncle if he'd seen it. He replied, "No sir, I fought at Iwo Jima so I don't much care for war movies."
MAS*H the 1970 Robert Altman film is a dark comedy following battlefield surgeons in the Vietnam war. Based off a semiautobiographical book with a similar premise taking place during the Korean war.
Essentially the surgeons try to keep themselves sane in an insane environment by playing practical jokes and generally making light of the darkest situation imaginable.

I think the bubble bursting will cause the crisis. There is undoubtedly a bubble if NVIDIA are being valued at $5 trillion.
Ozempic does sound like a Toho-era monster Godzilla might need to battle.
Using AI in an official capacity and not fact checking it is unforgivable. LLMs have no understanding of semantics; they are essentially the Chinese Room thought experiment manifested. I'm concerned we'll see another scandal like the Post Office in the future if public servants offload their attention onto a machine which has no way of being held accountable.
It was a different writer and director for 28 Weeks and they retcon it in the 28 Years series so they can do commentary about Brexit, etc.
