@olafurw.com It’s the biggest fumble of a movie by the 90% done mark I’ve ever seen. Easily +2 on a dice roll grade if the movie had ended before the nonsensical “nothing matters and you weren’t supposed to pay attention or think or follow the plot at all” ending. Then it breaks even that in the last 10 seconds.
