Yes, but the previous versions of myself are all strangers, now.
«... thank the gods that they have made you superior to those events which they have not placed within your own control, rendered you accountable for that only which is within you own control For what, then, have they made you responsible? For that which is alone in your own power—a right use of things as they appear.» Discourses of Epictetus Book I:12

I have to agree - I saw it a while ago, and thought it was excellent!
I have to say that the Oz and NZ film industries put Hollywood to shame: films with actual plots instead of "big names" and special effects. With the exception of "3 Billboards" of course - that felt "very antipodean" if you know what I mean!

Yes - a proof money can't make good movies...
It had a budget of about 3 million USD, while movies like that low-level Last Jedi had about 200 million...

Yeah - you'd probably have to pay more than $3M just to get an actor as bad as Nicolas Cage in a hollywood movie.

remove all clothes including hats and footwear, avoid carrying animals and don't comb your hair (better still shaved head).
The above will greatly reduce the incidences and even concerns of static shocks.
