The technology could've been the same cardboard box that Calvin uses to travel through time, that's not really the issue. The company doesn't work because it's nonsensical, and not in a way you're supposed to forget about and just roll with like the time travel paradox argument they use in Looper. If that were the case, you wouldn't have the resolution involving Kirsten Dunst taking down the company as an act of revenge, or Elijah Wood using Jim Carrey's stolen memories to creep on his ex. It tries to add legitimacy to the company's dumb premise and undercuts the actual plot by doing so.

Or, to put it in terms you might connect with a little better; listen fucktard, if you pulled your head out of your rear end you'd realize that I couldn't give two shits about the fake technology or how many pseudoscience explanations they used to make it work, the main problem is that the company, it's employees, and their pointless B-plot either needed to be shoved further in the background and used solely to frame the story, or more effort should've been taken to make those parts less stupid and nonsensical. Maybe you should go back to Intro To Film when your argument basically boils down to "just turn off your brain and enjoy it" :smug:
my advice is actually turn off your brain because it's so full of autism that it can't enjoy a fantasy film without sperging out. now, i could obviously say 'well, the writing in this film didn't manage to engage wolfsheim enough to overcome his crippling autism' and blame it on the film, but it seems pretty unfair to the film when you even fail to understand that the whole memory erasing thing is just a plot device. its details are unimportant, it doesn't have to work.

but that's just the thing - it does work. it makes sense. there are no holes in the logic here, it's just that you don't find it believable. and why don't you find it believable? the procedure and business model is purposefully kept vague (because, ironically, it'd distract from the plot) and based on the glimpses you saw (the index cards) you assume it wouldn't work. but that's 90% you. who knows, maybe normally the person having the procedure done will have told their friends and relatives, and the index cards are there as reminders and to notify people who aren't as close but still see the person enough to accidentally say something. i mean, why not? it's perfectly fair to assume this, given the information we received. but you just went straight for *in the seinfeld voice* 'it makes no sense!'

the problem is that you think the thing about the memory erasing company needs to be shoved further in the background, but you're wrong. not because it deserves attention, but because it's already in the background. it's already there. you obsessing about it is the thing that makes it more prominent than you think it should be.

so my actual actual advice is to focus on the thing you're meant to focus on, on the thing the film's actually about, keep your brain on but don't obsess over unimportant details and watch the film in good faith. or don't and just shut up.

Wait why would anyone put sriracha in mexican food. Mixing up a sauce of rice wine, soy sauce, sriracha works pretty well for a stir fry or w/e.

I found your problem. It's a Thai sauce, I don't know where people got the idea that it's usable as a general hot-sauce substitute.

I love strawberry ice cream, but I also love strawberry almost anything. It's my favorite fruit.

So of course it's almost impossible to just find plain strawberry ice cream where I live. The closest I can find is strawberry frozen yogurt, which while okay is still IMO not as good as the ice cream.

It's really good in marinades. I marinade chicken in it with some oil, salt and red chili flakes and usually make brochettes with onion, peppers and the cubes of chicken.

Sriracha is very good, but it isn't for everything.

Tapatio is a small improvement over Tobasco.
