After several lifetimes, he gets really good at everything and can manipulate anyone into believing anything he wants, but it doesn't free him from suffering.

That's possible I suppose but I don't think that's what it was trying to get across.

It's only after he loves her (and everything else) in a completely selfless way that he attains nirvana. It's no longer about what he gets out of it.

That's what I got it of it anyway.

Quantum Of Solace

The most by the numbers Craig-Bond film I think. It’s a decent action film.

I hate this movie so much. If Nicholson tells Hunt “I have OCD,” there’s no movie.

That's SO many movies, though and also the revelation of Ted Lasso.

I mean I guess, but in AGAIG it feels especially thin. Like we’re supposed to believe Nicholson is more comfortable with everyone thinking he’s a weirdo rather than just letting the cat out of the bag?

I haven’t seen it in years but I don’t remember her indicating she has any idea what’s going on. Isn’t she just stressing out and work and getting flustered when he pays for her kid’s medicine?
