So, what happens if I went ahead and ordered this credit card, did all the paperwork, and everything—but now that it’s actually here and I’m supposed to verify it and start using it, I've totally changed my mind!! How do I even cancel this thing!?! And do I have to pay for it now?? I just got some notification saying they're gonna pull $33 from my account because of this card!! Is that some kind of order fee or what??

Look, all that is fine and dandy!! I just put my request in, and boom—it’ll be here in a month flat!! 🙂

It’s actually allowed!! Like, seriously—how is that even legal?!?

Man, thank God!! Seriously, thanks a million for the heads up!

Quick question for the group! Can I actually snag a credit card—specifically a Visa, since that's all they offer over at Chase—if my checking account is currently sitting in the red? Just to give you the full picture: I work for a state institution, specifically a major university here in the States. I’ve been there for a year now, fully permanent, and I've been super consistent with everything!

Can someone just rename this thread to -Jason Statham!!!😁
Seriously, I need to be able to talk about him without feeling like I'm breaking some unwritten rule!!!😁😁

Jonathan Rodriguez48 said:it feels like you have zero clue how 95% of Hollywood actually makes movies...
obviously, the goal is to make a high-quality flick... I mean, it’s not about giving a masterclass performance in a pile of garbage... it’s about delivering something great in a great movie...
and your body of work is what helps you negotiate those bigger deals for future roles...
look at Jim Carrey—the guy spends his whole life doing goofy comedies, and then when he finally pivots and delivers a mind-blowing performance in Man on the Moon, nobody takes him seriously enough to even think about an Oscar nomination... let alone actually handing him one (if you ask me)...

Jason Statham doesn't just pick whatever he finds interesting or whatever he wants... he takes what he gets through casting... he isn't part of that elite 4-5% of actors who get top-tier scripts dropped on their desks every other day with lead roles attached...
he's stuck like most other actors, relying on casting calls and auditions... the first thing that popped into my head was that actor who auditioned for Alfred in Batman Begins but didn't impress the director, so they went with Michael Caine instead (who was also there for the audition!)...

and I'll say it again... he got lucky that Guy Ritchie wrote two iconic roles specifically for him (just like Stallone did for Rocky, or Luc Besson did for Jean Reno, etc.) which basically launched him into orbit... and I don't look at him like some thirsty teenager swooning over him like he's Brad Pitt (at least that's how they act)—I see him as a really solid actor with incredibly bad taste in movies...

Whoa! Chill out, buddy!! 😉 If you're the expert on how it works, then fine! Okay, whatever!! It's not like I'm some Hollywood starlet!! 😁 But honestly, it doesn't even matter!! We're talking about him here, we should be talking about the movie itself...

Wait, what? 😕
"Is he aiming for some kind of joke career?"

Hell yeah!! It’s pretty damn obvious he isn't making movies just to bank some prestige award at the end of his life—he’s filming what actually interests him, and clearly, he's good at it!! Look, even if the movies are total trash, a guy should do what he loves. Personally, I'll watch whatever this guy puts out, no matter what.😁😁

Look, the guy’s just having a blast!! He clearly loves playing these types of roles and doesn't give a damn about building some "prestige" career... even if most of these movies are total trash, we still tune in just to see him roll! 🙂 And honestly? The studios keep handing him these parts on a silver platter... that's the real kicker!!
It looks so cool though...😍😍😍!
Like that scene in > where he snatches the gun from the cop on the motorcycle and just toys with him... absolutely legendary!!👍

Wait, are you talking about that 1979 flick?! You know, the one with Conan Kennedy!

hahaha!! Just finished watching that movie... man, you guys won't believe it!! But seriously... if that's actually based on a true story!! Absolute insanity!!
Wait, what train heist are we even talking about here!?! Is there a movie about that too!?! 🙂

But honestly, when I actually sit back and think about it... you've got a point!! Their characters are actually well-developed over there!! 😁

Wait, I haven't heard about this one yet!! I absolutely love him—even if his movies are basically total brain candy, just pure action... but man, he’s perfect for that kind of stuff!! Definitely adding this to my watchlist!!
