How to pronounce Roku

[edit]

My wife and I disagree about the pronunciation of "Roku". She says "row-koo", and my idea is "rock-you." Which is correct? --Halcatalyst (talk) 15:46, 5 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Roku, Inc. says "/ˈrk/ ROH-koo", and cites a post on the company's website. Rojomoke (talk) 16:30, 5 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I just watched the movie and seem to have missed a critical plot point. Jeff provided Joshua and in turn his boss Vincent incorrect info that Frank Tahoe was out to kill Vincent. This misinformation causes everyone in the movie to lose their lives, loved ones, or be wounded. So, why was this misinformation given ? I got that Jeff owed $3000 for drugs to somebody and that this was somehow the reason, but I didn't get the details. Was it Frank Tahoe he owed the money to, and was Jeff hoping to cancel his debt when Joshua and Vincent kill him ?

There's also an apparent plot hole, when mob boss Nino orders Vincent's wife brutally killed, even though Joshua and Vincent have already proven they can get the jump on Nino's men. It would therefore be obvious to Nino that he was putting the lives of himself, his wife, and his "soldiers" at risk, by killing Vincent's wife before first killing Joshua and Vincent. So, perhaps I didn't miss anything on Jeff's reasons for lying, and it's just another giant plot hole. StuRat (talk) 23:07, 5 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
