I'd type my fingers bloody before I used AI.

I don't think it ever got an English release.
Here's the trailer. Difficult gets the vibe right.

The killer is a comedy-skit reject and every time he takes the screen, the sound of a dot matrix printer squeals from the speakers.

There's an extended scene where the protagonist discusses his impending murder in a high class strip club with closeups of a dancer's rhinestone clad crotch.

Absolute.
Cinema.

I'm of a similar opinion. The influence is there, but I think many of my forget clients are just turning to Asian markets.

I think there's a whole lot to be proud of in that, and I also think it sounds like you've got so.e stability in an increasingly unstable industry.
Like, the literary thing is going ok, but everything else that used to pay the bills is just gone. Poof.
Fingers crossed the royalty checks come in.

That's pretty weird. The biggest problem I've encountered was switching back and forth between PowerPoint and Impress (LO version) ended up breaking a presentation file, but I learned to stick with just one.
But just not opening is odd. Maybe a memory thing? Super large files? Weird fonts/formats?

I am lucky in that I don't have to use any proprietary CAT tools or anything for my clients. I choose to use OmegaT, which is FOSS and has a native Linux version. I am now 100% free software for all professional needs.
Otherwise, I might consider moving to Mac given just how bad W11 has gotten.

I don't need to fix it, honestly. Ubuntu is my daily use OS.
