I'll tell you, Luke, my spirits are a little lower today. My spirits are a little lower today than they often are. My energy level isn't what it usually is. You know, we don't always feel like going to work in the morning, but we do.

And I know that you are recovering from a nasty bout of COVID as well. So it looks like a rough day

for the boys. Looks like the boys are just kind of slowly easing into this one, right? How's your

looked like, oh, this is a sort of a trashy fun, you know, fucking Tom Cruise sci-fi movie

where he's got a mech suit or something.

No, it's actually, it's really fucking well done.

It's really clever.

I feel vindicated because you may recall that 10 years ago,

almost exactly, I came to your apartment one day, a day after seeing Edge of Tomorrow and I told
