The movie is The Brothers Bloom. The actors are all people I like, Mark Ruffalo most of all. The manipulation in the cons is so similar to what movies do that it becomes the subject of the movie. We are Adrien Brody, the director is Ruffalo. And the big con is the one designed to set us free to live our lives while the director sacrifices himself. Of course it is tongue in cheek but it is disconcerting.
So that's why, walking through town after the show, I found myself thinking yet again about the odds that I am a character in a computer game and decreased them a little. Current odds: 2/7. Let's hope I don't come upon Groundhog Day on cable anytime soon.
