The casting for that movie was perfection and worked within the context of who the characters were meant to be.  I’m having a hard time with Scott as Ripley for that reason alone - a father sends anyone to collect a 40-something son from Italy?  Or is Dickie supposed to be younger than Tom?  This and other reviews…

Which was obviously the knock on Craig.  I didn’t have a problem with his brawler’s take on the character but it was definitely a departure from what I was accustomed.

Man what happened to Nicky Katt?  He was one of the go-to questionable characters for about 10 years then just disappeared.

True but it’s unusual to see an item priced at normal levels and then a major discount courtesy of Uncle Sam. Typically they’re embedded in a high-level corporate tax incentive that the customer never sees or probably even knows about.

His credit rating didn’t get dragged down by her debt burden. So when buying cars for each of them, for instance, he qualified for better rate and terms.

The appearance seems to be the thing they got right.  I saw my first Ocean a few weeks ago and it really is a great-looking ride.

SEC doesn’t have to do a thing here. The stock was delisted for violating NYSE minimum share price policy and is now trading over the counter at bankruptcy option prices (i.e. nothing).  The funniest part is thinking that anyone would actually buy a Fisker at this point since everyone knows you’re likely to be stuck…

Yeah, it’s a new paradigm, man.  Rando up there just doesn’t get it.

A lot of people seem to think that if they can’t afford it, the dealer won’t sell it to them.  As if they’re going to be saved from themselves.

That’s where I went to straight-up laughing my ass off.  They don’t need their underwater trucks anymore because they have “The Audi.”  With 100k+ miles on it.  

Yeah this woman is renting her life. Love to check in 10 years out.

Love that she’s so nonchalant about letting it be repo’d.  Christ.

No, it makes sense if you can finance at a lower rate than a money market account.  Plus you’re completely discounting the option value of having that cash on hand if it’s needed.

The stretch where the typical car loan was less than 1% was a no-brainer.  You can do a whole lot more with your cash than invest it in a depreciating asset, plus you have the financial safety net if something unexpected happens.  I can see maybe paying cash now (although rates are dropping) but the “never finance a…

DINK is without a doubt the most flush you’ll ever feel in your life.  Enjoy.

And now they’re freaking stuck.  There’s no way they aren’t deeply underwater on both trucks.

One of our best couple friends met in college and she graduated with a bunch of credit card debt, which she made even worse the first couple of years out before they married. So they had separate finances for several years until it was paid off and her score improved. But from a purely philosophical perspective, I…

That’s the icing on the cake. “I made a shitty financial decision, and to make it look less shitty I made a worse financial decision for my husband so I wouldn’t look as bad!  Now I’m admitting to it on video!!”

Did you hear the kids in the background of the video? These people are going to be bankrupt by the end of the year.

Listening to her definitely put me in a Misery Index frame of mind.
