It wasn't a typical sequel, but it followed up on the first movie in the last 15 minutes or so. It was also a completely different genre. One of the best psycho thrillers ever made.
-
There are some exceptions to this rule. For example the movie Cloverfield (2008) wasn't very good, but the sequel 10 Cloverfield Lane (2016) was much better in my opinion.

Is this some kind of self humiliation or why y'all watching this sh**?
-
I don't see how a political view has anything to do with it. I wasn't able to finish the movie because it was a chaotic mess with mediocre acting at best.

One of the most overrated movies of recent years.

US economy / USD going down while the stock market is up. If the USD goes down by 20% a year and the stock market goes up 15%, you are losing money. The only way out is gold and silver. China and India are hoarding gold because they want to stop being dependent on the US. I did a mistake and bought US stocks right before the USD started crashing. Fortunately, I have more money in gold than in the stocks.

The last good sci-fi movies were made like 10-15 years ago. The same goes for good historical movies. Stop looking for something that doesn't exist. Edge of Tomorrow, Moon, Passengers, Sunshine, In Time... these are all good sci-fi movies, much better than anything from 2020-2025.

I don't remember a single scene from that movie. It was so bad it got auto-deleted from my memory.
-
I have just realized it's made by the director of the Fargo series, which was pretty good. It's so sad seeing good directors becoming so bad these days. The same goes for Ridley Scott and Gladiator 2, which was just terrible.

This is like a 10th post on this topic. No this is a bad idea and yes it will ruin you and you will lose all your money.

IMO, the only good Alien or Predator movies in the last two decades were Predators (2010) and Prey (2022). Anything Alien since the 2000s is pretty much trash. AVP1 was OK.
-
No, it's just made by a French director
-
So, this gets 7.6 rating while Alien: Resurrection only 6.2? I would rather watch Alien: Resurrection on repeat than this modern slop.

The problem is that investing into unethical business often doesn't work in the long term. Just look what happened to the United Health stock. It was considered a blue chip company, one of the safest businesses to park your money in. Now it's crumbled. All because of bad business practices and scamming customers (letting them die). -

My favorite companies are Berkshire Hathaway and Waste Management. They are definitely not 100% ethical though... -

There aren't any publicly traded companies that are 100% ethical. There is always something bad you can find about any company. Personally, I refuse to invest in companies that are undergoing numerous investigations, and have predatory business practices (eg. Google, Meta, United Health, etc.) I my opinion, such companies are worse than the tobacco industry. Also, I refuse to invest into anything crypto related. That stuff is just a huge waste of electricity, plus millions of people have been scammed. -
You can still get significant amounts of traffic from other sources like Bing, DDG, Yandex, and Pinterest. The amount of traffic from these started to grow after this Google fiasco. Just don't expect to make a living out of blogging.
-
There are thousands of sources, just use Google, Reddit, and YouTube. You guys are really like little kids sometimes. Google killing small publisher sites is a well known phenomenon that has been talked about everywhere for years. AI is the final nail in the coffin.

Blogging has been broken for years and now Google killed it for good https://www.reddit.com/r/travelblog/s/VVhbTn9x2N https://www.reddit.com/r/SEO/s/bVKk3SPMnz

Well, I am not giving up mostly because I have already accumulated enough wealth, so I will keep doing whatever I have been doing just for fun. But, there are thousands if not millions of people who have been in the online business for 20+ years and literally all have come to the same conclusion. It is now the end for small businesses in general and starting a new business in 2025 is a financial suicide. It is a bigger gamble than putting your money into crypto or meme stocks.
-
You used to have maybe 10-20% chance your business will succeed, it is a well known fact. This chance has effectively decreased to maybe 1-2% in 2024-25. If you dont trust me, then browse various business forums and subreddits. Be it affiliate websites, online shops, ebay, content creation, etc. most of the people are giving up after years of struggle.
-
The problem is, there is almost nothing left for those who are poor and want to become rich ASAP. Starting a business in 2025 is a real pain in the ass. Online business are completely dead due to search engine changes, AI, Amazon, Temu, etc. On top of that, there is now global uncertainty and nobody knows if we are headed into a big recession or not. Even Leo is not earning as much as he used to IMO. Advertising is on a big decline and companies like Google are trying to keep money in the house instead of paying publishers. The best thing right now is to stop caring about money and just be happy with what you have...

Why does like a half of this forum want to become rich by gambling? 🙄

There should have been a crash about 10 years ago. Another big crash should have been during covid. And now, in 2025, there should have definitely be a big crash with what's happening. However none of them happened. This economy is not real anymore.
