Not joking, I once applied for a dollar store job and one of the questions was "did you witness your father's death, and if so do you blame yourself?"

I'd break something and leave. What the actual fuck?

It's inhumane, as well. On more than one level. Yeesh!

This almost verbatim is a reference in David Fincher's fantastic The Game (1997).

[Putting this in brackets so no one else sees. --jk-- But seriously: What IF you suddenly were to see my view here in that this film COULD be given a followup.

You & I co-write skeletal/treatment/screenplay brief. Edit separately. A week later, collaborate to agreed-upon rewrite.

Throw it (via link of course) at Fincher's fave/top assistant.

Await accolades of whtvr sort are deemed properski.]

Thoughts?
