Never have I seen a better demonstration of the "To a man with a hammer, everything is a nail" principle. This is a movie about time. Called "In Time." Where the plot revolves around buying and selling time. Where everyone is named after watches. You think this is about... how influential capitalism is in branding? Really?

I learned a thing or two since taking it the first time, thus the differences.
