The greatest 20 minute demolition to ever happen 🔥🔥

Black Coffee appeared in the sky as glowing drones formed his face during his set.

The entire heist sequence in HEAT is peak cinema.

This sounded so silly in 2009

Taking those PKTT dockets was the equivalent of killing John Wick’s dog. A monumental screw up

@Ndi_Muvenda_ Consult a Quantity Surveyor chief. Everyone else will be guess-timating.

How much can one spend to build this rental property?

According to the Ipsos Perils of Perception index, South Africans are the most propagandised people in the world. There is a huge gap between what they believe and what actual data shows. In multiple versions of the Ipsos study, South Africa has ranked at the very top, meaning its citizens are among the most “misinformed” or “disconnected from reality” regarding the state of their own nation. As Ipsos puts it, South Africans are the “most wrong” people in the world. Worryingly, the disconnect isn’t just about minor details; it’s about the fundamental state of the country. Data from various Ipsos studies shows how far off the public mark often is: For example, when asked, most South Africans believe teen pregnancy is at about 44% of girls, when in reality it’s about 4%. It’s a similar story with teen suicide, GBV, immigration, the murder rate, etc. South Africans simply believe things that are totally disconnected from reality, leading to a psychological crisis. This crisis is largely due to how the media is set up. We must remember that for decades before 1994, the media had one job: to distort the reality of what was really happening in the country. Throughout Apartheid, the state used the SABC and strategic media “blackouts” to manufacture a “Total Onslaught” narrative, that is the idea that the country was under constant, existential threat. This created a high-anxiety public psyche that remains susceptible to fear-porn and sensationalism. This media did not transform in 1994. Therefore, South Africans are statistically some of the most pessimistic people on earth regarding their country’s direction. While many problems are very real, this pessimism leads to catastrophism, where every problem is viewed as an omen of imminent total collapse. This makes South Africans easy to mobilise against their own interests while expending a lot of energy fighting the wrong battles. If for example, people believe immigrants are 30% of the population, instead of the real 4%, they focus an inordinate amount of time and resources on this rather than addressing structural policies of the state. This leads to policy misdirection on many issues, not just immigration, where everyone is reacting to noisy perceptions rather than concrete problems, leading to phantom solutions that don’t solve the underlying issues.

In pre-production for Margin Call (2011), the film had a tiny $3.5 million budget. Irons and the rest of the A-list cast took massive pay cuts because they were so impressed by the precision and "Shakespearean" quality of the dialogue.

“Get the fucking money”
