I can only do something useful once every few hours

Ads are everywhere

The pacing seems designed to be deliberately frustrating

Lady Bird (2017) Director’s Commentary

This is for me the turning point of the movie in some ways, and there’s a moment where you see on Saorise’s face that she sees Lucas, playing Danny, as a person for the first time. She doesn’t see what she can get out of him, or what he is to her, but that he’s in the middle of his own–his own opera, and his own things that he’s going through. And all of a sudden, you just see it flash across her face, like, “Oh, this is not about me”. (…) And that’s such an important part of growing up, is seeing other people as separate from you.

BEING BORN

Server gives him this look like “your funeral” and takes the order to the kitchen. GRANDMA COMES OUT AND LOOKS AT THIS POOR WHITE BOY, shakes her head, and goes back in the kitchen.

When the dish comes out, it’s a solid mass of just RED. Dudes at the table are dying just sitting near it. This guy tries his damnedest, gets about five bites in, and can’t do it. Mr You-cant-make-it-hot-enough was fucking obliterated by Chef Grandma.

And to add insult to injury, they replaced the dish for him, and GRANDMA BRINGS IT OUT, gives him a look and shakes her head.
