The storyline is more convoluted with an almost satirical attempt at deeper character development but it's funnier with a couple of unexpected twists. However, I'm not writing this as a movie review but as a strange set of coincidences.

Christoper Wolff opens in Boise, Idaho where he's gaming a speed dating event using a "matrix" and semantic analysis. Coincidentally, my DEFCON gigs were semantic analysis and I lived occasionally at a Boise family estate for several years, so, yeah, not a huge coincidence yet...

Now pair it with this..

Dating
My dating strategy from 2006 to 2008. I met over 400 women through six venues and kept a spreadsheet to find the best approach. But eventually I realized that I just wasn’t rich, handsome or personable enough for most, and most of the rest were bland, which left three matches.

Yup, that is my dating spreadsheet ("matrix") strategy from 2005-2008, originally posted on RealMeme.com in 2006 and reposted in late 2022. An excerpt:

"Many female ads specify "honesty and integrity" in a man, but as near as I can tell, women don't actually respond to it."

Wolff recites this after the speed dating derails and he discovers my own data-mining epiphany, that shaping perception often fails to shape reality. And perhaps we shouldn't assume it will.

Then at the movie's end, he's off to Chattahoochee, Florida, an hour's drive from me in Tallahassee.

Most action takes place in L.A. where I coincidentally grew up and that line dancing scene? Line dancers travel up to 100 miles to visit the Cadillac Ranch in Connecticut, my nightly hangout during 2011. A bit much.

Very curious. How many geeks can there be who lived in Boise, created a dating spreadsheet and end up in the Florida panhandle?

Probability of living in Boise, the Florida Panhandle, creating a dating spreadsheet, and being autistic at least once over 2017–2024: Approximately 0.000006556% (or 0.00000006556).

Odds: Approximately 1 in 15,250,000.

165 million men, half are too young or too old.
Half of the remaining 82 million are married.
So perhaps three or four men fit this profile.

Qualifying as Army expert rifleman and firing over 400 firearms probably narrows it down to one, eh?

I must have a Hollywood stalker. If Accountant 3 is about the Federal Reserve, we'll know for sure.
