> [@Chelonaut](#): > > So googling I found this must be , a movie I’ve never even heard of. From wikipedias plot summary it sounds bonkers, but more tedious than I got from the IATA. You got it. If you like horror-comedies this one is worth a watch. Not particularly scary but the comedy works and it doesn’t take itself seriously. ---

Was the protagonist in the movie TA in your opinion? He sounds a bit Aish, but his former friend sounds like an uberA from hell. ---

> [@Chelonaut](#): > > Was the protagonist in the movie TA in your opinion? He sounds a bit Aish, but his former friend sounds like an uberA from hell. Well, he accidentally shoots his ex-wife in the stomach with a shotgun after he imagines she’s a monster, and then chops the body into pieces. But he’s not sure what is and isn’t reality at that point so he’s not sure it actually happened. He’s also a great dad. So I’d say NTA. ---

This guy brings home a doll by mistake. My colleagues and I go to the house to get the doll. We talk to his wife and one of my colleagues even became friends with her. By the way, she’s blind. Then she kills me. All for a doll that doesn’t even belong to her. And people consider ME the A. ---
