Damnit I just lost two hours to a tvtropes rabbit hole.

I’m also 6’3" and long in the torso. If I lower the seat in my Golf as low as it can go I have 4 inches of headroom and if I push it all of the way back I can barely reach the pedals.

New Rose Hotel (1998) It’s set in the same universe as Johnny Mnemonic, stars Christopher Walken, Willem Dafoe, and Asia Argento.

Unfortunately it is one of the most boring movies I’ve sat through at least half a dozen times.
