Some questions about decisions in my 401k distributions and possibly rolling into a self directed fund
My friend, you are not that old. You need to cut expenses and save in a disciplined manner to the max extent possible. The last thing you need to do is try to time the market or make a speculative bet on crypto. That is exactly how you make a bad situation worse.

One Battle After Another, the next Paul Thomas Anderson film
Not sure there is a right answer to this, but I would watch them in chronological order unless you are just looking for the highlights. There Will Be Blood and The Master are two of the great films in cinema history, but they are certainly heavy. Phantom Thread is in my personal top 3 for PTA (username checks out), but some find it slow. Magnolia is an epic. Licorice Pizza will feel like a refreshing iced tea after watching all the others. Inherent Vice, Hard 8 and Punch Drunk Love are historically considered his lesser films, but even those would be the best films in most other directors’ filmography.

Assume you are already maxing something like a mega back door Roth (assuming you/spouse have all the requirements)?- So I saw a man die tonight
That is horrifying. Friend in high school called a bunch of people out to a common meeting spot for our small town high schoolers. Charismatic guy. Said he had something cool to show everyone or something like that. Gun to the head. Never will understand- Rolling 401K advice, not mine
This is why I’ve never rolled my wife’s 401k from her past job into an IRA. We’ve done back door/mega back door, and not having to think about the pro rata rule is great.- the academy's appeal to watch movies in theaters
You think watching Empire for the first time at home while partially doom scrolling/texting is equivalent to seeing it in a big screen with a group of people collectively having their mind blown?- the academy's appeal to watch movies in theaters
I'm not stating my opinion of the viewing experience. I am telling you why a director - the artist - is pleading for people to see his art via a certain mode of presentation, which is the question you posed several times. But I agree with your final point. Many people don't have the taste to discern a Barolo from 2 buck chuck. Same thing with consumption of art. On average, ease and cost will usually win out, which is why theater going will be a novel experience in 15 years or so.- NBA 2024-25 Season Thread
I went to MSG last night to catch the Steph (and Jimmy) show. The guy is just so fun to watch even if you are rooting against him. Incredible how the three guys you named continue to thrive.- the academy's appeal to watch movies in theaters
There is a revenue factor, sure, but making movies is an art form. Like any other art form, the artist wants their product to be consumed in an ideal viewing experience to the greatest extent possible. Watching Oppenheimer on your run of the mill TV with factory speakers (and , god forbid, motion smoothing) is like looking at a screensaver of Guernica. If streaming only replaced blockbuster on a 1:1 basis, there would be no issue. It's the fact that it's aggressively eating away at the theatrical viewing opportunities. The better comparison is really the replacement of vinyl records and CDs with compressed audio files as the primary form of music consumption. Sure, you have any song any time you want, but the tradeoff is losing much of the quality of the product as originally created.- the academy's appeal to watch movies in theaters
I love going to the movies. The sound, the screen, the shared experience, the lack of phones, it's all great. It is true that if you are the kind of moviegoer who only sees Marvel/popcorn flicks, the shared experience at an AMC filled with people who also have bad taste is probably not going to be great.- Shit I've Cooked Lately

Shane appeals to the middle aged, suburban white guy. Not much else.- The 2025 Oscars
Well done Sean and Mikey. Adrien Brody, yeesh- The 2025 Oscars
All the acting was pretty great in what was otherwise a formulaic, silly movie.- All things SNL
I generally don’t find Gillis very funny, but the Shelby Foote bit was hilarious. Burns giving that guy so much airtime has always been comical.- Golden
