So I watched The Rip. A Miami cop movie with Affleck and Damon.

I liked the first half quite a bit. Really intense opening scene, good mystery setup, high emotional stakes, etc. Always happy to see Affleck and Damon together.

The second half lost me a bit. Some aspects seemed unrealistic enough to distract me and pull me out of it. And I felt the heavy hand of the writers/director in terms of character choices not really making sense, convenient scene changes, etc.

But, all together a solid cop movie. Glad I watched it.

So far out of this recent run of movies, Sinners is comfortably my top choice even though I had some issues in the third act.

I enjoyed the second half! Mainly because during the first half I was a bit annoyed that the plot might end up as (imho) a shallow ‘Ben and Matt are on opposites sides of morality! And now must fight to the death!’

Curious what you thought was the biggest unrealistic aspect?

Peter Schiff is really feeling himself lately lol 😂

Good for him honestly.

He needed a reprieve.

Last year, after listening to one of Peter’s particularly BTC-deranged rants from his podcast, I decided to start an ‘emotional hedge’ against him by buying some precious metal mining stocks. I can’t loose: if his thesis is right, then those investments will go up (and I can later rotate into BTC). If he’s wrong, I can laugh about how wrong he was.

So far: Those investments are up ~50%. So emotionally I’m down (grumpy that Schiff was ‘right’, so far) but dirty fiat wise I’m up.

Yeah he lives in my head, but not fully rent free!
