Have people not seen Green Room?

Yes, you provided another example that didn’t further your argument. At least it was Hollywood-centric this time.

A Star Is Born only won one of the 7 categories it was nominated in (zero for acting/directing) and had less nominations than The Life of Emile Zola (10), which was not about Hollywood. Not really helping your argument.

One that’s actually relevant to the conversation would be a start.

So your example of “a movie about how awesome and important Hollywood is” is a movie that isn’t about how awesome and important Hollywood is? So much for being a “film historian”.

Deck is shuffled after every hand. Card counting plays a minor role in that you can narrow down the range of hands your opponent might have, but any good poker player already does that and there are only five community cards to “count” so there’s no real advantage.

Probably should’ve just googled instead of being that guy.

Atlanta having more culture than Boston; now that’s a spicy take right there.

Markets were going down as Trump’s poll numbers went up. The recent rally is part optimism for Trump’s “plans”, part optimism based on the strength of the economy, and part Santa Claus rally. Dow’s taken a few steps back from 20,000 as we get closer to inauguration.

Workers not getting any money means there won’t be any discretionary funds to spend at said companies. Goodbye profits, goodbye growth. Productivity and wages have decoupled, which is why we’re in such a fragile economic position right now. Trump’s economic policies are about to make the situation much worse. It’ll…

Nah, it’s not. Angry Westbrook is the best Westbrook.

Westbrook must be another one of those beings.

It sounds like a hot take, but is it really after last years Finals performance? MJ never lead an entire playoff series in five categories. Five. Against the greatest regular season team ever. It took him longer to reach than MJ, but peak LeBron isn’t very far from peak MJ.

Right over your head.
