Maybe my favourite short story ever. Def top 5. The story on which the incredible Dennis Vellenuve movie Arrival is based. Which is also my favorite movie. Basically I couldnt recommend this story enough!

Oh no I seemed to have misphrased my original statememt. I font think the lead changes much barring the potential to get funded and marketing. And I do like Gosling. The reason I dont ecpect much is bc it appears to be a cash grab more than a project on it's own.

Tho I will say I also loved External Sunshine of the Spotless Mind and The Truman Show and never liked any Jim Carrey movie.

I do like your choice of short stories, though I haven't read 'I don't know timmy ...'. Really think you would lobe Borges. You ought to search borges in this community and you'll find some of his stories I've posted.

That's funny, I was just talking about how the Usual Suspects has aged yesterday with a friend. That really is a very era specific taste!
