I really liked this because I also love that movie. (Solidly an X with cusp little sister). And it inspired me to ask ChatGPT “what does ride your own melt mean?” And the machine gave me about 3 pages that amounted to “I have no idea but I’m supposed to come up with an answer.” And that felt right. That’s why you write. To frame ideas anew.

I’m glad that even ChatGPT doesn’t know! And you’re right, inferring meaning when you have none is a very fun part of being human!

What a movie. Saw it with a Q and A with Ben Stiller who was unknown to us at the time. I do remember thinking Troy was the way to go but also both dudes were kinda meh. I waited on Ethan Hawke shortly after and definitely understood the appeal. Team Troy!
