There’s a book called Catch 22. Looks like the made a movie of it. The book is the funniest thing I’ve ever read. Made me think about how crazy fighting is. Sort of like a funny Slaughterhouse-Five.
Neither mentioned illegal orders as far as I remember. Was the movie quite different?
I think time wasn’t super kind to it. And I don’t remember how clear it was in the movie that Scott’s just not a good dude. My memory of the story is that the core is: Scott is bad. Scott accepts that. Scott starts doing better. But maybe that’s just my headcannon.
It’s a good lesson though! Just because you were bad doesn’t mean you are bad. You can change. Life isn’t a simplistic video game. It’s a lesson I’ve needed from time to time.
I was in Vegas a couple weeks back. Same problem.

France has something like it for artists I think.
We’re two years out from the API apocalypse. I think. That’s how I got here.
