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.

      PFF ranks the 2025 starting QBs

      By frankw · Posted

      4610 total yards 27 total touchdowns 8 yards per attempt. Completion percentage was usual Cam ie mediocre or below at best at 57.7 and 86.2 passer rating. But the man scored points and moved the ball at will often. Compared to 2652 total yards 21 total touchdowns 6.3 yards per attempt completion % 60.9 82.2 passer rating. Let's just not do things like this. We can acknowledge Bryce improved (from realistically a bottom 5 QB) and hope he can work his way within the top 15 this season without dragging Cam Newton into it and unintentionally diminishing him. That's all I got to say. Carry on.

      I personally think you are trying to talk yourself into circles here... It's ok to say Bryce played incredible the last 5 weeks... I know there are plenty of people on this board who desperately need the doom-and-gloom narrative, but I genuinely question how much NFL QB play some of these people really have watched when they still question him being the unquestioned starter for next year...  Again, that being said, no one is crowning him at all. I think Bryce is one of the best stories going into 2025 bc his season last year was so outlandishly unprecedented. It's totally fair to personally not believe in Bryce. Plenty of sports "journalists" need to write stories, and that's an easy narrative path... But I think that actual people in the know rank Bryce much higher. That's the fun thing about sports... we shall see!

      Regardless of how we got here, any rational fan should be excited by how well Bryce played down the stretch. Anyone not happy about that level of play either doesn't know what they're looking at, or they're still trying to drive tired narratives. Obviously, Cam had an all-time rookie season, and I'm not putting the two in the same basket yet, but as someone who has watched every snap of Panthers football since the start of the new millennium (Im old), Bryce was playing at a higher level at the end of 2024 than Cam was at the end of 2012 (his 2nd season). Cam continued to develop into MVP form, something Bryce has to prove, but as someone who watched both (and will stan for Cam always), Bryce was playing at a higher level to end year 2 than Cam did.  Go watch the film if you dont believe me. None of that means anything for the future. But the people who said BY9 couldnt play in this league are wrong.   That being said, the only thing that matters is this year. #20 is perfectly fair IMO going into the season. I mean think about it, how would you rank him??!  His in-season turnaround is one of the wildest things I've ever seen... how do you rank a guy who looked like a massive bust in September and by January was consistently playing at a top 10 level? My excitement level is pretty damn high heading into this season. There were throws from the Chiefs game onward where Bryce had Drew Brees levels of anticipation. Im excited to see what he can do with a full deck on offense, something we really never gave Cam. Really hope and expect Bryce to move up this list this season.
