For me, I tried reading it years ago and it felt slow like he was going into too much detail about things that didn't matter, like the slope of the road or some such. After the movies came out and I enjoyed them, I decided to go back and give it another try. What finally made me stop was when I realized a scene he was describing that was dull and boring in the book was actually exciting and intense in the movie. I'm glad for the people who like it, but I'm glad I got to see the story in movie form instead.

I'm getting a lot more downvotes for this than I thought I would. If you disagree, let's have a discussion. Maybe I'm wrong? But getting a financial advisor made it very easy for me to see what I need to do to retire.
Sure, but I wasn't paying attention to that and I think a lot of people weren't either. The previews, while musical, seemed stylized and did not convey a strong sense that that is how the whole movie was going to be.
I would recommend against using those then. The one I'm using from Edward Jones is buying funds from a number of different companies, not just specific to Edward Jones. It's important to ask a potential financial investor how they get paid and that can help you understand whether they're going to be working in your best interest or not.
Except, the whole point of this thread is an example of that not being the case.
Get a financial advisor. Unless finances is your job, hobby, or desire, just use someone else for this. I use Edward Jones but I would imagine there are lots of good options. They can help you figure out how much you need to save for retirement and give you realistic goals and expectations. You might be better off than you think, or it might not be hard to get to where you need to be when you have someone who can help you figure this stuff out. At the very least, looking to Roth IRAs
Peace was never an option.
Because of the nature of the Internet archive, I too was wondering this.
Midsommer is my favorite. A slow, realistic slide into horror.
I loved how they did this movie. Essentially, a day in the life of a Judge.
Because the community is literally called bad movies.
