    The Gentlemen (2020)

    Not going to say anything new, but I'll just echo the other comments. Really enjoyed this one a lot. It's just a fun movie. Been forever since I've watched his other movies, so this was refreshing.

    There's a saying that "the market can remain irrational far longer than you can remain insolvent." Seems to apply in that case (despite his claims that all his trades are on Brent and he's still okay; his clock is still ticking). Yeah, oil will eventually go back above $50. But do you know...

    Captain Marvel (2019)

    She was just very stiff in this one. I couldn't get through The Room with her either. Maybe she's not cut out for dramatic acting? I feel like even in the two you mentioned she wasn't really doing much "acting." And I'll echo the other comments. It's definitely not her SJW stances. I hate Mark...

    Have they at least had a "stand alone" episode as good as Kiksuya from season 2? Edit: Shit, just barely beaten by @Hatorade!

    Who died? (Celebrity Deaths)

    Eh? Looks like he was 23. Born in 61, movie was 1984. I'm also retarded. Dennehy played the alien guy and wasn't that old. It was Brimley I was thinking of who was actually young.

    Who died? (Celebrity Deaths)

    Kind of surprised he was still alive. I watched Cocoon a couple months ago and found out he was in his 40's for it.

    Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2019

    We got our first squad win (or trios, for that matter) 2 nights ago. And then last night got back to back wins. Not sure if there's an MMR system, or if we're just finally getting a good feel of the game. We were really awesome at PUBG, but we've been getting shit on in this. I think a lot of...

    No Man's Sky

    So not worth it to multiplayer? Never played and we talked about it, but now I'm second guessing it.

    Terraria

    Once you replay this one, you should really check out the Calamity mod. It's pretty awesome (although it trivializes most normal bosses, so I advise against playing it in conjunction with a new playthrough if it's been a while).

    Been downloading but haven't watched any. Based on the recent comments, I think I'll just stop.

    Peridiam does good Survivor videos. If you haven't watched them (or it's been a while, which is likely), I recommend. These are the two pre-season series he did. 2 Parts 4 Parts

    So my question is, are they just going to eat that? Or are they expecting these people to pay several missed months? Because that seems unlikely.

    Top Gun: Maverick (2020)

    Video of the Blue Angels jet doing a low flyby. Can't find it anywhere else but Daily Mail, which sucks. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-8191685/Dramatic-moment-Blue-Angels-F-18-performs-high-speed-swoop-sneak-peak-Gun-Maverick.html

    First 20 seasons vs second 20? I dunno. It does seem odd that they seem so focused on it.

    Survivor

    I just realized this season has been so good, but the last 10+ seasons have been pretty crap pre-merge. And then we get the merge here and it's game on. Really excited for the next half of the season.

    That's hindsight. I mean, it could've been that China was blowing it all out of proportion and this was nothing. No one could've anticipated the government shutting the entire country down.

    I love having a home gym, but it wasn't until the other day that I realized most gyms are closed. Now I feel like it's a necessity.

    I think there was a Ted talk or something about the Fed response to 2008. I remember posting it elsewhere and people said the guy was a moron. But essentially his thesis was that everything the Fed did in 2008 made the recession worse. My gut reaction is that it's the exact same situation now...

    I only check our accounts once a month. Haven't sold anything, only been buying. We're down about $120k. But that's only looking at months end. Had I checked mid-February at the top, and mid-March at the bottom, it'd probably have been about $160-170k. Fuck that's painful.

    I only read half of it before giving up. Sounds like just another person trying to make everyone think the world is going to end because their job got tougher. 2008 happened because of credit default swaps, not just because of bad mortgages. Had it just been a mortgage crisis, it would've been...

    Downloaded the first two on the off chance the season ended up being good (and HBO loves to nuke stuff). Think I may just say fuck it though. You all aren't selling me on it.

    I've caught some of it over the years. It's super awkward. Just these random ass people slightly out of the shot on the crew. It seems like most of their time is spent just bullshitting around camp. Lounging, talking about food.

    Survivor

    I think all that stuff still happens, but like @Kiroy said, the producers follow a formula now. And apparently the majority of the viewing audience doesn't care about the "survival" aspects anymore.

    Survivor

    Most of the newer players didn't deserve their wins. It's the new era of Survivor with butthurt juries who award it to the least offensive remaining player.

    Of course my fucking IRA contributions will go in today. Motherfucker! I do think I got one good timing for my 401k, but otherwise most of my automatics have been on up days.

    That's why I said this as probably priced in. Expect next Thursday to be bad though.

    Yep, although hopefully it's priced in. I don't think next Thursday's unemployment numbers would be though, and I expect a massive drop then.

    Just saw that season 4 is delayed indefinitely because of COVID-19. I guess they hadn't wrapped up production? Seems like a month before premiere you would've been finished.

    You seem to be operating on the assumption that our economy is bulletproof and will always survive. While that's incredibly likely, it's not outside of the realm of possibility that the country we live in now ceases to exist.

    If it were up to the people to decide, you'd be right. Hopefully the morons in government realize how badly they fucked this up. Apparently they don't realize how fast you can destroy the economy by shutting everything down for a week.

    Okay, that was pretty baller to use Sandra's own idol against her, and then on top of it bargain to keep a fire token. She wasted her own idol in the process, but it probably doesn't matter. Parv going out sucks, but it was inevitable. It's crazy how many seasons some of these people have...
