Mel Gibson spent $70M of his own money making two consecutive films in languages nobody on Earth speaks conversationally. They generated $733M at the box office. The Passion of the Christ. Aramaic, Hebrew, and Latin. $30M self-financed after every studio in Hollywood passed. Gibson marketed and distributed it himself through Newmarket Films. It opened on Ash Wednesday 2004 and grossed $612M worldwide, held the domestic R-rated box office record for 20 years, and remains the highest-grossing self-financed film in cinema history. His personal take cleared $400M. Two years later he did it again. Apocalypto. Entirely in Yucatec Maya. $40M budget. Zero Hollywood actors. His lead, Rudy Youngblood, was working at a Lowe's in Texas when Gibson pulled him from a general casting call. Youngblood had less than a month to learn Yucatec Maya, performed every stunt himself including a 175-foot waterfall free fall and sprinting in front of a live 200-pound jaguar. The stunt coordinator called him "the purest athlete I've ever met." The film tripled its budget at $120M worldwide. The part nobody talks about: the language barrier was the competitive advantage. When your audience can't understand a word of dialogue, every frame has to communicate through blocking, expression, sound design, and camera work. Both films play identically whether you speak English, Mandarin, or Swahili. The subtitles are almost beside the point. Two dead languages. Two unknown casts. $733M. Gibson funded every dollar himself because nobody in the industry believed the math would work. The math worked.

I spent years living like this (except the debt) looking at the ceiling fantasizing about exactly how I live now, everything eventually works out for the delusional optimist imo

Darius Acuff Jr. is drawing comparisons to Damian Lillard from a handful of NBA scouts. When going back and watching Lillard at Weber State, an extremely similar playing style. Acuff and Lillard also share a nearly identical measured height and wingspan.

Good. Because he’s the best guard in the draft. He just went to Stanford. That’s not me hating on any other guard, I’m just taking him before ALL of them. He’s also a genius, & the main talk for PG’s is basketball IQ. WATCH HIS GAME TAPE(not highlights)!!!!!!

NEWS: Stanford guard Ebuka Okorie says he’s staying in the NBA draft. “I already talked with Kyle Smith and I talked to my agents and my family. I'm staying in the draft,” Okorie said.
