I know we always say that MBA, engineering etc. students need to take more humanities classes, and they do, but if a Harvard professor and author of many best-selling books can’t conceive of “opportunity cost”, maybe arts academics should take a business 101 class now and again.

I haven’t seen any but the first one, but I think if you’re into it you’d enjoy it, even if you know the stakes/outcome? Like, people who like Saw movies know that some hapless victims are going to suffer creative tortures and die, but the fun is in seeing what and how. I think, I don’t like Saw.

tbh I don’t even think she uses him as a sexual object. I think she wants the lights off after he says “one hour” because she wants to get it over with to keep him as her creature. Their kiss beforehand is passionless. For fun they stand next to each other in silence in a sterile apartment.

It was also released in the middle of the writers’ strike, so promotion of the film at all was essentially nil.

Wired: Shoot someone if they annoy you as conflict resolution.
Inspired: Rock paper scissors as conflict resolution.
