There's a great moment where the first half of the film, Greg Kinnear's on vacation. He meets Pierce Brosnan, who's a hitman, who's kind of like losing his mind and on his last job. And then they hang out together and Pierce Brosnan... kind of takes him on a hit, doesn't kill somebody with him, but shows him, here's how you would kill somebody. And literally walks him through this sequence.

It's so well done. And that's the first half. And then Greg Kinnear goes back to his suburban life in like Ohio somewhere. And then Pierce Brosnan is in some kind of trouble. He either botches a job or something. I forget what that part of it. And he goes and finds Greg Kinnear to go hide out with him. And...

comes in the house and Greg Kinnear's like, oh, this is the guy that I was telling you about. And you see Pierce Bros' character like, I better think of some, like, you can see him almost about to go, I am a carpet salesman, you know? And then Hope goes, oh, this is the hit man you hung out with. And like a lesser movie would make it like, yeah, he's a carpet.

And then they got to do all this bullshit. No, you would go home and go, I was in Mexico on this business trip. And this guy, he was a hit man. And he showed me how to, I didn't kill anybody. But he like, that's what he does. It was really weird. And you would just go back to your life. And like, no, obviously, neither of you are going to report it. I don't want to be killed.

But it was just a weird thing. And then she goes, oh, yeah, that's that hit man you were with. And then the movie proceeds from there. it goes in such a totally different direction. And it just made me so happy. Like moments like that, where you're like, oh, or there's an issue of Animal Man where a villain comes to Animal Man's house and he's wrecking the place.

And then he's about to kill Animal Man. He goes, oh, because Animal Man, the guy is in his boxer briefs. And he goes, go put your costume on. I'm not going to shoot you in your underwear. That's stupid. And then the wife comes in and goes, what are you doing? What, did you wreck someone's house? Get out of here. And the villain goes, oh, frick this. And he just leaves.

He's just like, this is real. And that's kind of how that would go. Like, you're in my house in this stupid costume. You're breaking things? Leave. I'll call the cops. And he's, all right, fine. And he just leaves. Like, that was so...

More moments like that, I think we keep being pushed toward, oh, you gotta have the big moments, the big epiphanies, the big, dramatic, Instagrammable stuff, but the real growth and the real, real deep memory stuff happens in the uncinematic, clumsy moments.
