    All films should introduce their actors everytime they enter a new scene. I like knowing who's playing who and it's not distracting in the least.

    I cannot. Stop. Thinking. About. This. Movie.
    It's so hard to explain, but there is something so confounding, surreal, charming and incredibly ballsy about introducing a movie where you have to explain how the movie works. Usually this would be played as a joke in any other piece of media (Lars Von Trier appears at the end of his show The Kingdom) but the fact that this isn't a joke, that a human being felt no shame or embarrassment introducing his movie in such a way... It really lives in my head rent free.
    People laugh at Tommy W. And Ed Wood, but even they wouldn't feel the need to apologise for technical errors before the movie even starts.
    Especially when those errors shouldn't have even there in the first place

    5:25 - I like how he keeps saying "we" ("we made the decision", "we thought it could work") insinuating there's an actual crew behind the movie, when we all know it's a one-man show.

    Warren was a helicopter pilot in Vietnam. He was adopted. As he states he grew up on a Caribbean Island. I called to find out was he offering consultations, he passed away I'm told prior 2021? Not sure exactly. Warren showed a great deal of compassion toward me. I had no idea of homeopathy. He was not a cold empty soul. He told me he was divorced and had a son. Close friends of his guard much of his work. Certainly a pioneer in every sense. He said he had seen the enemy and it is us. I can't understand why he died maybe 75? Warren was stout and healthy, swimming laps in his forties. He was an awesome cranial osteopath also. He had a baby grand piano in his center hall colonial in Hackensack and so many books. He made me a proponent of Homeopathy, but not so much empiricism. He died a Christian and is now in heaven with Jesus. Funny how we mourn comparatively little for the truly successful. I valued the few moments with him never knowing he would no longer grace this earth. California why so far? Lose of his license was best for him. In days to come that would prove best for his life. The willingness was there, he was a first responder, dignified and manly. Thanks for your help Warren.
