      One of the things I love about The Big Lebowksi is that Walter's outrage is 100% performative. He turns it on and off on a dime.

      ok, important thread about John Wick What's the one part of both 1 and 2 that is pure humor and has no plot relevance? The cop, Jimmy. "Evening, Jimmy. Noise complaint?" "Noise complaint. ... you, uh, working again?" "Just sorting some stuff out." "I'll leave you be then"

      3/ not really about the films, but about the tropes they embody. Just thought of a new one today. Every since I busted up my face working on a tractor tire Saturday, wife keeps mentioning it. "...and you KEPT WORKING !"pic.twitter.com/N8fKbX9Ucs

      4/ and I realized that, ow, wow, this is actually a trope, and we see it in movies all the time, and it is "expensive signalling". Two guys, both LOOK buff, who's tougher? Hard to say ...unless they both take injuries, then if one keeps going and one doesn't, we've learned.

      5/ I bet this is deep in the human psyche - both men and women like to see men who have injuries but push on (for similar yet distinct reasons). Women obviously want to mate with / be protected by tough guys, men want comrades who can hold their own.

      Replying to @MorlockP
      In sports, a lot. The injury, the comeback. Local hockey team had a player lose an eye to a puck deflection years ago and stories following his comeback efforts were extensive. Crowd went nuts when he got a goal first game back.
