Only thing Affleck has going for him is that he smashed jlo.

But You'll Be Back?

Haha. I obviously should have said 'hasta la vista baby'.

I just got angry

The most worrying part is it's happening again, rebranded under a different name.

Love Steve carrell character in it, and Ryan gosling

I get all the concepts about how corrupt the whole system is, but I couldn't fathom who was buying what from who, and how they were getting rich/poor from it. Particularly Christian Bale's & Brad Pitt's characters and their trading antics. Very confusing.

I should probably know, working in investment banking, but it all got a bit muddy in that respect.

I didn't find it to confusing (well after the second watch) it made a lot more sense, it all started with bales character seeing what nobody else could

By the Sea is a 2015 American romantic drama film written and directed by Angelina Jolie, and produced by and starring Jolie Pitt and her husband Brad Pitt. The film was released on November 13, 2015.

Given what has transpired before/after, there are a few 'awkward' scenes.
If you take the two main actors' baggage out of it, it's basically a nicely filmed movie about a couple trying to find their way.
The relationship between B.Pitt's character and the cafe owner is a pleasure.
I don't really care what the critics said (negative mainly), I liked it.

Rinse and repeat.

Yeah, Carrell is usually brilliant in everything he does, he and Gosling had two totally different characters but, each likeable in their own way

The Royal Tenenbaums - for about the 20th time

Still fantastic

Yeah, I get what he foresaw, it's just that for every trade there's a buyer and a seller, and I couldn't fathom the motives for some of the trades. Like towards the end, the suggestion was that Bale was selling his positions - who to? Who would buy it from him?!

I should read the book. Flash Boys is a great book and explains it's theme well, so perhaps this will be the same.
