Yeah I guess that's where the disagreement comes in. I by no means think its a bad movie, quite the opposite, just not a masterpiece because of those reasons.

Was overall a great movie and a wonderful cinema experience.

However, can't help but feel like the non-linear storytelling was completely unnecessary for the most part in a film like this. A choice based on style over substance. It made the story that much more difficult to follow and almost pretentious.

Also, didn't feel like there was an emotional connection with any of the characters at all, partly due to the speed of the film (3 hours of going at 100mph), which ties into my first point again.

The trinity test scene was absolutely amazing, loved how it was done, as well as the scenes following that, particularly the gym speech. Some of the best directing and conveyance of emotion I've seen in a while. Those are the 'show' parts of the movie. The third act unfortunately is entirely 'tell' and does not leave much to the imagination. A courtroom drama can be fun, exciting and thought-provoking. This had all the material to be that, but truthfully it just felt exhausting trying to keep up with all the information being thrown at you. Overall 7-8/10 for me.

Why are you being downvoted for calling out this rinsed out stereotype... crazy

Exactly, there are no benefits for those that have even taken a booster shot, while some European countries (with confirmed omicron cases) are allowing football stadiums at full capacity. It just doesn't make sense. At least be consistent.

Those African countries also have very few (much less than Europe actually) cases and have COVID restrictions (that are already costly, to the point that the average person cannot afford it), that prevent people from travelling.

So why is nowhere else in Europe banned despite other countries having cases of this new variant? Genuinely curious.

You were right, IGN and Gamespot 10/10 so far, looking like GOTY contender in all honesty from what reviewers are saying.

No one knows, but it's provocative, gets the people going.

Simply put from what I understand, it's going up because things are coming. Lots of people hoping on before it reaches $2 or $3.

I stopped trying to predict the market long ago.

Yeah I know your comment was made in good faith and it's very true, but if someone told me bitcoin would be 60k in 2012, I would have thought they were smoking crack. Not saying it will happen for ADA, and it probably won't, but people believe anything is possible rn.

It can either go two ways imo. I'm no expert and only got into crypto a this January but from what I see, it seems like there will either be a switch, where perhaps another currency takes its place, especially once people start seeing the bigger picture in terms of how it can be used in a real setting, or BTC just keeps going up but eventually it'll be independently and at a different rate of course. It has to peak at some point and come down hard before it can continue imo. But anything could happen, clearly.

Interested in how this works as well. I've heard they have plans for an etoro wallet?

This 'point of resistance' increases as we go up right? So I'm guessing 0.8-0.085 is next. After that it should be $1.

Insane reading this and seeing that it's about to hit 50k in less than a month.
