    Dude is a good filmmaker who can make some awful awful films when he gets too full of himself. But when he reigns himself in, he is solid and even sometimes compelling. He seems to be on the redemption path. I never understood why The Village gets such a bad rap. The Happening is the most unintentionally funny movie I've ever seen. The Lady in the Water and Avatar are unequivocally terrible. "Swing away Merrill" is up there with "do you like apples" on the Mt Rushmore of dumb movie lines.

    Taika you naughty little scamp. Taika Waititi Reportedly Reprimanded By Disney For Racy Photos With Tessa Thompson Who cares what three adults do. The only slight problem is that he and Thompson are coworkers but really who cares.

    Let's talk about the Woodley Jake Paul fight here instead of the MMA thread, since it's boxing. Everybody in the other thread seems to think Woodley will win easily. I don't see it. At this point, Jake Paul is the more disciplined and technical striker. He's also taller and heavier than Woodley, not to mention much younger. Now Woodley does have that right hand and if he connects on the button then it's lights out for Jake Paul. Otherwise Paul can outbox him. Here's a breakdown from YouTuber who IMO has pretty good analyses.

    Triller is out of the picture. Jake Paul signed with Showtime.

    I know nothing about this situation but is China seriously at some point going to usurp Taiwan? Or are they just going to continue to pretend I just looked it up and Taiwan doesn't have nukes but can you imagine the global clusterfuck if they actually develop nukes? It's bad enough that we have India and Pakistan threatening to blow up the world.

    This thing was a mess, but fun to watch. Chekhov's gun? Never heard of it. (talking about the rain) Bautista may actually be able to carry a movie. Apparently they're setting up a Snyder zombieverse.

    If they let Chloe Zhao go full art-house (with a big budget) it may be good. Or if they go typical jokey Marvel action, it should be enjoyable. If it's a mishmash of the two, watch out. As Mr Miyagi said, karate yes or karate no. Karate maybe, squash like a grape.

    Looks like Marvel is going back to a washed out color palette, last seen in Winter Soldier.

    I just watched a few episodes. I'm not reading the rest of this thread cuz I don't want to get spoiled. Wow! I did not expect this show to be this good, this funny, this subtle, and this well written. Based on the premise for some reason I was expecting it to have a similar tone and humor as Letterkenny, which after watching 1 episode I didn't care for (although I might give it a another chance some other time). It's nothing like that at all.

    This brings back memories of when I bought BTC at 2k and kept buying up to 12k. I was ecstatic when it hit 20k. Then it fell all the way back down to 3k and I thought it would go down to zero. Having gone through that, this doesn't feel so bad. I've never sold. I probably should have taken some profits but I'm taking the Michael Saylor approach.

    Here's an interesting observation - when BTC dropped from nearly 10k to 5.3k back in Feb/March 2020 there were barely any posts in this thread. There's like a 2 week gap between posts. Compared to the posts during this drop.

    Typical Tony fight - Tony just getting the shit kicked out of him. His only hope is pulling a miracle sub out of his ass.

    I have a feeling the weekend is going to hammer BTC. It's currently headed down. We'll see if it holds.

    Okay, I watched the the first 2 episodes of both the UK and American version. They're very different. The UK version has significantly better color grading and overall much better production values than the American version. The plot is also more gritty and intricate. The American version is more lighthearted. So far, UK>US by far but the US version is still enjoyable. I think I'm going to finish out the UK one first.

    Question for those who have seen both UK and US version - which one should I watch first?
