It never occurred to me that Nathan had not seen Everything Everywhere All at Once, but now that I know this, it will absolutely gnaw at me until I finally see a review of that movie on this site. I can't think of a recent movie that better represents both his love of cinematic oddness, and his ADHD.
Lol - it really is one of those things, right? You want to let it go, but it just gnaws away at you once you see it. I was reminded of an early episode of Mad About You (if not the first episode) when Richard Kind keeps making references to "The Easy Rider" until his wife blows up and corrects him.
I'm clearly in the minority, but despite its mulitiple Oscar wins, I was not a huge fan of Everything, Everywhere, All at Once. Once it dispensed with anything resembling reality - hot dog fingers, rocks, etc. - I became less and less invested. It's like I could put up with the multiversal shenanigans, but the big swings (which everyone else seemed to love) were the ones I could have done without. No qualms about the acting, however; it was uniformly great.

Normally I try not to be too pedantic, but...
"The Unforgiven", sir?

Maybe it's a reference to the Burt Lancaster/Audrey Hepburn western by my fave director John Huston?
Dang. The trailer looked fun. The premise sounds fun. This movie does not sound fun.
