I posted my thoughts on this a few pages ago, and even added its poster to the movie posters thread. I could sit there and watch him splice tape all day long!

We have family on both coasts who we visit frequently so probably sticking Midwest, we just don’t want to own in the city proper (Chicago) nor want to move to the burbs and renting has been a sink. Grand Rapids is up there because of the location and because they have an AZA zoo we enjoy (she’s a zookeeper so we have to be situated close to one)
Don't buy in Chicago. I learned my lesson. I loved my condo in Wicker Park. By any measure, it was awesome. 2BR and the living room had tons of light, and a lot of space. Great location. However, I didn't want to be a landlord from the west coast, and the only way that city can make ANY fucking money is by cranking up property taxes. It keeps the housing prices artificially lower.
Honestly, I'm glad I'm not in Chicago. It's a great fucking city but man the politics and lack of money really are doing a number on it. I'm pretty left as most people here know, but the unions (teachers especially) own that city. They will get what they want, which drains
the already empty pool of dough. It's pretty wild. California has its own problems, but people want to live here for the weather, so lack of funds is rarely one of the problems. Human feces and people doing super hard drugs in broad daylight is basically a daily occurence.
Tommy Boy 35mm was perfect, especially with the crowd cheering for every Chicago scene near the end lol
I'm sure it was almost a quote-along!
