I'm curious -- do you think you'd make that same choice in the current state of the industry? Genuine question!

This is absolutely my favorite movie of all time! If it wasn't for the domestic-violence-for-laughs near the beginning, it would be a perfect film.

Great job! A lot of people don't appreciate the difficulty of tasks like this, but they're very challenging and important! I'm sure everyone will appreciate your hard work.
