Go home, you are drunk man The analogy is perfect. Ridiculous claims. Implausible plot. Idiotic character development. But everyone goes along with it. https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-b4iPD9ToZ58Xzwnf8AKoYMvULRsRa5_jqkdXfQaK3KkjpxwfC23fdO7j8jBOdIUK4KKmU1w_INU_GosdnmAoeE...
