Holy Sh!t, what an epic film. I had like a small anxiety attack after the movie and couldn't go to bed til like 2am last night. It just really had me thinking about some crazy stuff in my life. I wasn't just able to watch it and say, "Hmm, that was a good movie." and go to bed. I had to self analyze where I was in society and how far down the totem pole I was and how to get up into that 1% of money- yada yada. Should I compromise myself to earn more- blah blah blah. Even if I work crazy hard, like 12-14 hour work days- would I even sniff what he made?

Anyone else seen it and have a similar reaction or am I a friggin weirdo?

Also, what did you think of the movie?

Meh it was good but a little drawn out. You have to remember a lot of his money came from luck and being in the right spot. Also, your mind has to be wired different, you have to be willing to be dirty and make illegal money. Making that money legally takes life dedication, still need luck and a lifetime of time.

I thought the movie kinda sucked. It was like Boiler Room and the Entourage movie had a retarded baby. 

A guy who got rich off of lying, embellishing and scamming dupes for a living, lied, embellished and scammed a rich actor into glorifying his 'life-story'. Everyone knows the hookers probably weren't anywhere near that hot, and the drugs weren't nearly as good as he says. He made a lot of money, but he didn't get to keep any of it, and now he's been relegated to the motivational speaking circuit, still trying to part fools from their money. 

And those fuging speeches, give me a goddamn break with those stupid fuging pep talks he would give his sales team. 

Kind of reminded me of the last time Leonardo DiCaprio got duped by a white-collar criminal: http://www.vanityfair.com/news/2000/04/dana-giacchetto-hollywood-money-manager. 

At least we got to see Margot Robbie naked though.

you realize that there is a whole part of the movie in the beginning talking about the 3 different types of hookers they had, the high class ones, the regular ones, and the cheap and nasty ones. and it showed both the best (highest highs) and worst (being a POS, his friend almost dying) of drugs. what many critics missed was that the movie wasn't a glorification of his lifestyle, but a description of how he made it to the top, but it became too much and he fell all the way to the bottom. more of a cautionary tale stylized as glitz and glamorous lifestyle.

Dude is a con artist. Anyone who buys into that movie being based anywhere near reality needs to check their head.

      Carolina Panthers pick No. 19-2026 NFL Draft

      By Jackie Lee · Posted

      Just going off the draft sims and he's always sitting around 20 lol. First year in a while where we haven't been thinking about the draft already in late October so haven't really looked into the top 15-20 picks yet. Also the qb class is super weak so he probably will sneak up into 10-15

      Your Feelings on Bryce Through 3 Seasons? (POLL)

      By Hoenheim · Posted

      I fully expect them to pick up his 5th year , and they're waiting for him to put a full excellent consistent season of QB play in year 4 or 5. If that don't happen,  they'll eventually cut ties.  Here's to hoping he just goes on a team in 2026. The worst thing he could do is continue to see-saw us to around .500 records because it might be impossible to replace him at that point unless youre willing to do the veteran qb carousel poo we did from 2019 to 2023.

      Your Feelings on Bryce Through 3 Seasons? (POLL)

      By Hoenheim · Posted

      What do you think of Bryce Youngs career thus far? Are you excited about his progress or is it not enough for you? I included a poll of ranking his performance through 3 years thus far.  I personally think he's made some decent progress. Has had some high moments (last half of 2024, Rams game, ATL game in 2025)  but in my mind, those are still outweighed by the many more lowlights thus far (ex turnovers, missed throws, poor decisions)  It's a very mixed bag for me. He's done enough to get a 5th year option but by no means should we lock him in with a 50+ mil a year multi year deal. I want to see him play consistently well for a full year before that happens (yes, I'm still saying that going into year 4. That might be telling).  Just sucks when you see CJ Stroud, Jayden Daniel's, Caleb Williams almost immediately lighting poo up with their arm talent. Maybe Bryce is just an ultra slow burn. I don't know what to think anymore. Guess we're gonna be stuck with him for a whilr unless we end up being bad enough to earn a high pick next year. I doubted it lol. Overall Stats for his career:       ● 14 W - 30L (regular season)       ● 0-1 playoffs record        ● 61.4% completion, 8291 passing yards, 49 TDs, 30 INTs  Year 1:       ● 2 wins, 14 losses      ● 60% completion rate, 2877 passing yards, 11 TD to 10 INTs, 5.5 yards per attempted pass Year 2:        ● 4 wins , 8 losses        ● 60.9% completion rate,  2403 passing yards, 15 TD, 9 INTs,  6.3 yards per attempted pass  Year 3:        ● 8 Wins, 8 Losses         ● 63.6% competition rate, 3011 passing yards, 23 TDs to 11 INTs  Playoffs         ● 1 game in year 3 ( 0 - 1 in playoffs)         ● 21/40 (52.5% completion rate), 264 passing yards, 1 TD, 1 INT.
