The writer references little things from the book that I assume he got from ChatGPT or something because he clearly didn't read it himself or if he did, he missed all the basic plot points and character development.

I has so disppointed by the soundtrack to Hateful 8. Morricone has written some music I don't like at all, but what he wrote for that movie is the only thing I've ever heard from him that bored me. Totally forgettable.

The only thing I remember in that connection is there would be a $35 charge to the patient for every dialysis treatment. I probably asked if you were going to have any trouble due to that
