Here who comes? It'd be nice if the title of the movie told us who was coming. Clearly it's in first person so it's spoken direclty from the perspective of the person saying it. So THAT person is coming, but we don't know who THAT person is. What am I supposed to do with this information? Because also, consider this: it doesn't matter if I'm ready or not. We started with that. Ready or not? Doesn't matter, obviously. So SOME person is coming but we don't know WHO it is and it doesn't matter if we're ready or not. Huh.
