I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

No.

Am I wrong though?

Frankly I’m scared to disagree. Your commitment to your belief is palpable.

So if a character tells his wife he’s flying to Germany but meant to say France, and it’s not tied to a plot point or corrected by the man, that would have a valid reason to be in a script?

this isn't a tutorial on how to play cards.. it's a movie about characters and how/why they're interacting... nobody caught any errors and it doesn't affect the plot so it doesnt' matter

I mean the actual scene WAS a tutorial on poker.
