Yeah, maybe 75—honestly, I can't tell if I just watched a different version or something.

Gentlemen, or whatever we’re calling ourselves these days—what an absolute train wreck of a poll!
That was a total classic, honestly.

Look, I know it’s far from perfect, but we’re missing things like License to Fock and stuff like that.

It’s a shame there aren't any more options left on the table. Everything feels pretty much picked over at this point—kind of like looking at a menu where everything has been crossed out except for the one thing you didn't actually want to order. You just kind of sit there, staring at the limited selection, wondering when things got so narrow.
I would've gone with at least two, honestly—but I had to settle for just one.
So, if we had put Taxi Driver before Once Upon a Time in America, we probably would have stumbled upon another title or two.

I don't know, but every time I catch a headline like that
it just takes me right back to Washington, D.C.

Son in Law

I haven't given a damn about Titanic for years—and honestly, that goes for DiCaprio too.
I mean, I already knew the whole story about the ship long before the movie even came out.
It showed up on TV one year—I think it was a few years after its initial run in the cinema.
And that was the real kicker—it was a genuine revelation, a total surprise. I mean, look, I wasn't exactly holding my breath or expecting anything close to what I got, but man, it actually turned out to be pretty damn good.
It felt like the same old story with those last few DiCaprio flicks—just more of the same thing over and over again.

Honestly, there aren't really any surprises left in the deck—I’ve reached that point where I can pretty much call my own shots, predicting exactly what’s going to turn out great and what’s headed straight for the gutter.

Interesting, I actually had no idea about this one.
Honestly, that old Seagate BarraCuda 1 TB has been spinning away for nearly two decades now—it’s basically a relic at this point.

There’s only one true Road trip, and that’s it.
Everything else is just some road movie—or whatever you want to call them.

Just rip the fan out and mount it directly onto the case!
Then you take all that copper and sell it for scrap.
As for the rest? Half goes straight in the trash, and the other half—well, you just set it on fire!

Both of them fall under the FILM-MANIA umbrella for me—though I’ve gotta say... Once Upon a Time in America is definitely the stronger cut.

They really shouldn't have touched a single thing—just leave it be!
It’s just more greed from those local corporate sharks, setting up an energy trading trap for the workforce... basically a total disaster waiting to happen in some delusional version of La La Land.

I mean, if a ticket is going to run you $100, and there isn’t even an option to just grab a partial pass for $50 to catch one specific band,
then it’s pretty much a given that you can't expect massive crowds.

It’s all coal-based—cheap labor is practically the backbone of the economy here in America too!

Linda Roberts2 said:I don't think that's really the deciding factor here.
Americans can be a bit arrogant sometimes; for instance, our Prime Minister wouldn't even sit down with the CEO of ExxonMobil, which is easily one of the most powerful companies on the planet.
But if you ask me, the hardest part is actually attracting the Japanese. They always seem to come with about 107 different conditions before they'll agree to anything.

Ha, I'm not quite that optimistic!
The only way I'd agree is if we're talking about just one piece of a much larger puzzle.

The US is dealing with some serious energy shortages—we're talking about basic electricity here!
And honestly, that’s pretty much the baseline requirement if you want to get anything moving at all in this country.
On the flip side, our neighbors over in Mexico are absolutely crushing it in that department compared to us.
The Slovaks have plenty too!

Well, in China, it’s actually higher than that!
Over there, workers like that can pull in more than 3,000!

They don't even need to be making cars—honestly, they could just pivot to some low-end motorcycle and call it a day!

Doesn't it feel like he undergoes a much more intense transformation in Fight Club?!

Tyler Durden is pretty much etched in stone at this point—though I'd say Brad Pitt is hovering right on the edge of greatness there too!
