*spoilers below, for those silly enough to care.
-If you're not careful in New York, you can "end up in the Bronx" and get mugged when all you were trying to do was ride the subway.
-Memphis is a small town with seemingly one bar, called The Memphis Bar & Grill of course, where they don't mind if you pull a gun on your ex-wife and threaten to shoot her. As long as you're payin' your tab.
-Shaky, lagging camera techniques are a great way to show time passing. They also don't at all get annoying when used over, and over, and over again.
-Having two Cat Power songs, and a cameo from Chan herself, is sadly still not enough to make a movie cool.
-People like to inexplicably leave their house keys with the owner of some crappy NYC diner, and never return for them.
-If you're a good enough director, you can trick A-list actors into saying the most ridiculous lines and looking like idiots, all while probably taking severe paycuts on top of it.
-An otherwise consistently great director is still capable of making a really crappy movie.
-Sometimes you should trust horrid trailers and many negative reviews, no matter how curious you are.
