I will respectfully also disagree! I think C vs A definitely operates primarily as legal drama / courtroom noir, with the romance (?) as the secondary thread (see eg A Few Good Men for similar legal drama / personal growth structuring)

('Coyote vs Acme' is just *outrageously* good // 'Michael Clayton' but with toons? crying at Road Runner? a truly elite Run the Jewels drop? // saw this in the same week I read 'Careless People' which was a superb shot-chaser)

'The Odyssey' is great btw. Would die for Sam Morton. Love to be on a sofa with a boozy drink & occasionally turn to my sofa-mate and tut 'Men :('. Love Matt Damon having feelings / killing sprees in Europe. Appreciate context etc but calling the palace dudes “the suitors” felt very evil boy band.

It's Trans Day of Visibility today. If you're trans and are raising money for something (I don't care what it is), reply to this thread and I will boost you. If you are a cis person, take a look and find someone to support if you can. Everyone give this a share after.

Narratively having Ever Given getting stuck in 2021 to set up Hormuz in 2026 is great foreshadowing. You want your audience to understand the basics of international shipping in a lower stakes context so you drop the real plot without a lot of saggy exposition about the minutiae of cargo logistics.

wait. wait. everyone hold on. i've solved it
A google maps view of the area around the Strait of Hormuz, with crude markup showing the 4 steps to successfully clearing the strait:

1. Build up speed
2. Hit Trampoline
3. Cool backflip
4. Nail the landing

The boat is illustrated using a clip art yacht, and the trampoline is also just kind of floating there.

And 'The Bone Temple' is even better again; more unsettling but/and more measured; first time in an age I've been in a cinema where the audience has spontaneously applauded during the film (and again at the end).
