Jacking off in the theater to Saving Private Ryan is taking the making out during Schindler’s List from Seinfeld to new extremes.

Masturbating to Saving Private Ryan. Who amongst us...?

I actually rate his performance (along with Alan Arkin’s and Lemon’s) ahead of Baldwin’s in Glengarry/Glenross. He was good in LA Confidential, but honestly Guy Pearce, Russell Crowe, Kim Bassinger, and James Cromwell were all stronger. Oh, and the Usual Suspects and Swimming With the Sharks were decent.

He didn’t die, he just returned to his home planet.

Just got back from this and I really enjoyed it. Any use of the word Beast always conjures up memories of reading the James’ story for the first time, but I don’t think I actually knew this was meant to be a retelling, so I was surprised to find them practically enacting the whole thing at the beginning. Some of the …

This is an amazing review. 5 STARS

I went to see this last night without knowing much and it was way too late for a movie the same length as 2001: A Space Odyssey and twice as demanding of my concentration. The theater was pretty empty, save for two women and a guy who, at 30-minutes in, must’ve inhaled a piece of peanut M&M. From there, my attention…

You can not like an actor without being jealous, you dumb child.

Cheers- wait, you’re not a Yank?

Yeah, and because anyone who can drop money into a brokerage account can buy stocks, as opposed to the financial condition you have to demonstrate to be able to short stocks, those internet nobodies could jump straight in (e.g. via Robinhood).

Ironically, these dramatic accounts of stock trading make the whole thing seem totally unapproachable and volatile, which simply prevents people from investing their money sensibly. Where’s a movie about putting a few grand into mutual funds and building a nest-egg over the next decade?

BS paid for his BS?

The issue falls along the same lines as a stock being oversubscribed, the SEC or brokerage leans into the idea the price will climb to the point interest falls. When it was a handful of internet nobodies, the industry looked away or down on them. It wasn’t until the exponential multiples came into play that people…

I’m sure this happens to Pete Davidson all the time.

What’s hilarious is none of this should have been permitted to happen in the first place. There should NEVER be more shares shorted than are actually issued and outstanding because those borrowed shares eventually have to be returned. I think this is basic brokerage risk management as opposed to SEC regulation, but…

Despite this, still a great read. Mezrich’s casino books about blackjack and online poker also very compelling reads.

D’Onofrio with the Philip Seymour Hoffman vibes.

I’m hesitant to trust the reporting of anyone who still didn’t realize how terrible Musk clearly is in 2021.

very funny that a 2 year old book can already be horribly dated.

Same. I love me some Paul Dano but it’s just not enough to stomach watching Pete.
