  • Some Things and Ideas: September 2020
    Some things and ideas: September 2020 Some random thoughts on articles that caught my attention in the last month. Note that I try to write notes on articles immediately after reading them, so there can be a little overlap in themes if an article grabs my attention early in the month and is similar to an article that I like later in the month. Writing earlier in the month is a particular challenge for an environment as wild as this one; for example, if I link something from early April like "Apple tells staff stores closed until early May or "Equinox won't pay April rent," by the time I post those articles in late April the information is wildly out of date (people will be more concerned with Equinox paying May rent!) even though it's super interesting! Premium / word of mouth I launched a premium YAVB in April (announcement / overview here), and we updated it (and the rest of the website) with version 2.0 in August. I've had a lot of fun doing the premium site so far; if you enjoy the free blog, I think you'll love the premium site, so I'd encourage you to subscribe. The general goal of the premium site is to post one deep look at a company and/or investment idea each month, and then do a monthly general update post (kind of like this post, but with a heavier focus on investing specific things, individual investment updates, and my thoughts on them), but it's still a work in progress! Don't feel like subscribing? No worries! However, one of the reasons frequency of posts / podcasts / other public stuff can fall off is because I look at them and wonder: "Is it really worth my time doing these for this small an audience?" A lot of work goes into all of these, and I hope that the output is generally of interest / high quality.

  • Movies! Movies! Movies! There Is No End to Entertainment
    Movies! Movies! Movies! There is no end to entertainment. All you need to do is cut through the lights, the camera and MOVIES the action. So simply tune in... 03 ACTING OF ACTORS Gone are the days when actresses were simply glamourous accessories to a METHOD film that otherwise belonged to the ‘hero.’ Women protagonists today don’t shy away from portraying reality; characters that require more than just a dazzle of glamour. A Times NIE report FROM TO DEGLAM DEEPIKA PADUKONE The actress plays the role of Malti in the movie ‘Lakshmi’, which is based on the life of acid attack survivor Laxmi Agarwal. Directed by Meghna Gulzar, it stars Vikrant Massey in lead role. Padukone reportedly said she is excited about the role because it is a story that’s closest to her heart. “This is not just another project for me. After I met Lakshmi, I realised the pain and humiliation she has been living with. I wish I could portray some of that on screen. For me, the look doesn’t matter if the role is important and something that I believe in,” she told in an interview. CHECKLIST WHAT YOU LEARN FROM THESE RISK TAKERS Any person who is in show business needs to look good all the time. A lot of effort goes into how they look every day. They do so much to meet the expectations of not only the media but also their fans, even when they are not working. No matter where they are, they make it to the newspapers for being less glamourous..

    INFORMATION ABOUT THE PRODUCTION OF The Wedding Singer THE STORY The Wedding Singer is based on the 1998 film of the same title, which starred Adam Sandler and Drew Barrymore. The film is set during 1985 with the main character Robbie Hart as the lead singer in a band which performs at weddings. He's about to marry his girlfriend Linda. Julia is a waitress at the banquet hall where Robbie performs. She is waiting for her long term boyfriend, Glen, to pop the question. The next week Linda leaves Robbie at the altar and Glen finally asks Julia to marry him. Glen leaves the wedding planning to Julia who then asks Robbie for help. It soon becomes apparent that Julia is with the wrong guy and she falls for Robbie and vice versa. Robbie thinks there is no way he can compete with Glen because Robbie is “just” a wedding singer and Glen is rich and successful.
