    Fleishman Is in Trouble

    Wow, Jesse Eisenberg got chunky. And it makes it really evident that he's super short. Noticed Lizzy Caplan in the trailer. Is this the reason she's not doing Party Down? If so, fuck this show. Edit: Looked, and indeed it's true. She's not in Party Down for whatever the fuck this is. Bad choice.

    Anyone expecting the Fed to let up now wasn't paying attention to Powell's last speech.

    Black Panther: Wakanda Forever (2022)

    That's what happens when people who thought the first was an abortion and race baiting go and pay to see the sequel anyway.

    The English

    I'm baffled by the rave reviews. I wonder if they're all about the cinematography and not the actual content? Only watched the first episode, but this feels like someone trying to make a Tarantino-esque show but without the ability to pull it off. Every line of dialogue seems like it's trying...

    Weather

    Whole country outside of the very very southern portion of Florida, and Alaska, are getting a massive cold front. Guess there was some system up near the Arctic that pushed it all south. So now we all freeze.

    7 hours later and I can't either. Figured I'd come here to check. Guess maybe it finally happened.

    Black Panther: Wakanda Forever (2022)

    That's pretty scathing from someone who calls the original the "crown jewel of the franchise." For those of us who thought the first was a middling movie that only got good reviews to sate race relations, it's probably unwatchable.

    My guess is the news this morning means the interest rate hikes are working, which signals a weakening US economy, meaning in comparison everything else looks better?

    Damn, markets up 4%+ right at the open. Edit: Fucking rocketship time. S&P now at 4.20%, QQQ 5.52%, Russell 2000 at 4.36%.

    I'm curious what they were going for. A boring squad PVE mode on the Warzone map?

    Who died? (Celebrity Deaths)

    I was trying not to compare to TV, but think about the cast of Friends who are getting 20 years worth of syndication, and were earning $1 million an episode for a while. Even most of them are only worth about $100 million, and the ones that are worth more did a bunch of other shit (Jennifer...

    Oh, in ultimate irony, I keep getting notices from my free stock that I got when I signed up for Robinhood for the AMC buy way back. It's up almost 400% since when I got it (since it was free I don't have an actual cost basis). It's CPRX, some kind of pharma company. I lost my ass on AMC and...

    New movies that dont deserve their own thread.

    I made it a bit past 30 minutes before I gave up. This was super fucking boring. I could tell it was trying to be clever with the meta commentary of what makes a good murder mystery, but it was trying way too hard and the pacing was atrociously slow.

    Who died? (Celebrity Deaths)

    His brother, in a much more successful endeavor (Backstreet Boys) is only worth $35M. Fucking Justin Timberlake is at about $250M. So yeah, someone lied to him big time. $20M is massive success even in entertainment. I doubt he even made that much.

    Seems like just about every comedian ever did a cameo in this. I was never a big Weird Al fan, but the humor would be exactly as you'd expect.

    I'm definitely crashing, about the same as you. Same with the patch and then driver hotfix. I'm wondering if your friend is an issue with shaders. That stupid shader optimization shit is still around in this game, and it has to redownload every time there's a patch.

    Instead of cancelling they probably should've fired all their writers and got someone halfway competent. Although I haven't watched the last two seasons, so maybe it's too far gone.

    There's really not enough time for it to go up any significant amount. Still down over 3% just in the last 30 days. You'd probably need a 10% move up to look okay (brings you to the levels in August). But even then it's still going to be down a shit ton YTD.

    Yeah, I have no idea what it's actually doing. My thought was just that by tying the currency to VIX, you're effectively trying to blunt volatility and any move up or down in the markets therefore also get squashed before it can make a significant movement. Essentially trying to manipulate...

    That seems more like betting against the economy? It's basically saying we need to crush everything, but only enough to keep it stable where it is. Any variance up or down tanks it.

    Call of Duty Modern Warfare II 2022

    Only like level 22 or so, so barely scratched the surface, but that echoes my experience so far. I would unlock stuff and end up heading out of the gunsmith without adding anything. Kind of makes leveling up weapons seem pointless outside of unlocking more things.
