So far.🙂
Yeah, I heard the same thing. I’m opening my own firm soon, so I’ll let you know how it goes. 👍

This isn't actually a documentary. It’s more like pretentious propaganda. Though, I suppose a great many people will undoubtedly mistake this for objective fact and truth, feeling quite superior for having seen it while labeling everyone else as mere sheep.
Much like Zeitgeist and those other similar "documentaries," this doesn't really belong on a film forum, given that it possesses absolutely no cinematic or artistic merit (nor does it have any intention of possessing such things). One can only really discuss these pieces from a purely political standpoint.
The Great Gatsby was alright—it actually pushed people to question all those "dogmas" they just take for granted... sure, it’s riddled with errors, but it still holds its own.
Raymond Cruz42 said:Bill Clinton plays this game of hide-and-seek, and honestly, it’s pretty transparent: when things are cruising along, Clinton is front and center, shaking hands with reporters and dominating the news cycle all day long. But the second things hit the fan? He vanishes... Suddenly, you’re just hearing from the Vice President, and she’s the perfect shield. She doesn't hold any heavy-hitting cabinet positions, so journalists can't really pin her down or launch a direct attack without looking silly... she’s just the VP, after all. Then, once the dust settles or some "fix" is finally found, lo and behold, here comes the savior, Bill Clinton, stepping back into the spotlight.
His economic playbook is the exact same brand of nonsense—just plugging holes with more debt. No actual long-term strategy, no vision... just moving numbers around to make sure everything looks okay on paper for a moment.
The debt isn't the issue—everyone borrows money. The real problem is that the cash gets flushed away on useless crap... instead of being funneled into PRODUCTION... anything at all. As long as something is actually being built.
But hey, we couldn't have that—we needed fancy convention centers, bridges, and other nonsense instead...
I find it hard to argue that Bill Clinton is actually copying anyone's policy... his primary, singular goal is simply ensuring the Republican Party pulls off the best possible results in the upcoming local elections. What kind of economy are we even talking about?
That’s why you won't see any actual work getting done—instead, they'll just feed the public some nonsense to make them think the people at the top are actually accomplishing something. And don't hold your breath for any major budget cuts.
Just watched it. It didn't exactly blow my mind. 🙂 I definitely expected more from Ridley. It’s not even about the cast—it’s just poor execution or a weak script. Maybe there's a Director's cut coming down the line to fix some of this mess.
That said, Mark Strong as Hani was a standout. What an expression! The kind of charisma you just don't see in movies much anymore! 🙏 🙏 I’d never even heard of him before, and now he's absolutely killing it in Rock'nRoll. 🙏 Huge props to him for Hani; he's got serious presence!
Leo and Russel did a decent enough job.
To me, Syriana remains the best thriller dealing with the Middle East.
Top-tier filmmaking! 🙏 A few parts felt a bit over-the-top—like when the father doesn't even recognize a hand dryer—but overall, it’s a genuinely solid movie.
If you've got an account over at Bet-at-Home, you should've seen a $5 credit hit your CASINO balance. Just a heads up—that money is strictly for CASINO games; don't bother trying to use it on the sportsbook.
I spent some time playing yesterday and managed to turn that measly $5 into $45 😁—all thanks to sticking to small $0.50 or $1 bets on colors at the roulette table.
Then, naturally, greed kicked in. I started ramping up the stakes and—surprise, surprise—lost every single cent. 😁
A mild disaster, honestly—but if they really pulled this off on an $8 million budget, I have to give them credit. Visually? It’s decent enough. The acting, the script, the characters...
Just finished watching—it’s not terrible, but there is far too much sloppy work for me to actually enjoy this movie.
The concept holds water, but the execution? Total mess.
I’m usually the type who doesn't sweat the small stuff, but I caught a mountain of errors here—everything from botched accents to a complete disaster during the car chase scene. Especially that bit where Agent Barnes gets into the Chevrolet Cruze (where they clearly show the clutch and gas pedal), shifts into first, and then just cruises in first gear for about 50 seconds.🤣 😂
I think it was during the '98 and '99 seasons—I caught a few races in '98 before officially becoming a McLaren fan in '99. My old man was rooting for Mika, and honestly, their car was easily the best looking one on the grid 😁 For some reason, I was just obsessed with that "West" logo... I found myself pulling for any team that featured it on their livery.
If I had to pinpoint the exact moment I became a die-hard Formula 1 fanatic and a true McLaren supporter, it was probably when Häkkinen headed into the Forest at Monza and broke down in tears 👍 Mika was the king...
rapidtinker45 said:If what Luca di Montezemolo said is true, Massa is an absolute class act—he reportedly went straight to the mechanics to comfort the guy who messed up (the premature green light incident) right after the race. Plus, Massa himself had the grace to say, "We are all human, mistakes happen." Honestly, incredible. I’ve got massive respect for his self-control—if that were me, I’d be tearing people apart with a look, let alone actually talking to them... 😁
He had plenty of time to cool off sitting there in 15th place. 🤣 😂
Jeffrey Sanchez7 said:For years now, I’ve been sitting in this position where I listen to a million different business ideas—checking out plenty of solid ones, but only actually pulling the trigger on a handful. The reason is pretty straightforward: most of those suggestions are honestly just garbage from almost any perspective.
I’ve actually been sitting on a few fresh concepts that I’m looking to sell. These aren't just random thoughts; they've been vetted, or at least they come with a rock-solid market strategy designed to eliminate the guesswork. Is there anyone here who would actually be interested in buying intellectual property like this? If so, what specific metrics or factors would you use to determine a fair price?
On another note, would you be open to paying a monthly subscription for a dedicated blog—written in plain English—that provides regular deep dives into these types of opportunities? If that sounds appealing, how much would you realistically pay, and what’s your preferred way to handle the transaction? Would you go with a credit card, PayPal, or something else?
Look, I know every venture carries its own set of risks, but just like a formal business plan, I would make sure all the potential pitfalls and downsides are laid out clearly upfront.
The initial idea sounds interesting enough, but the blog concept won't fly. There are hundreds of free sites and forums out there for this kind of thing—I don't see why anyone would pay for an idea alone. 99% of people will stumble upon an idea eventually; only 1% actually do anything with it.
And since online credit card processing is still pretty hit-or-miss over here, I don't see who would bother paying for access to a blog anyway.
