Not to mention that everyone thought, "Lego Movie? That's a stupid idea..." -- nm - Reagen Apr 13, 11:09 21
- I'll disagree on the idea you're espousing. 21 Jump Street, Lego Movie...sure, those may not have been 'easy' sells given the creativity needed -- (edited) - Will Hunting Apr 13, 11:18 16
  - Since neither TLJ or Will Smith are going to be in it...maybe they're gonna try to reboot MIB. nm - Jim Apr 13, 11:28

        And they did that, so what next? -- nm - Roger More Apr 13, 11:40 2
        
        Hopefully they quit making these crap movies. -- nm - Spawn Apr 13, 11:42 1

  - "That's Elizabeth Warren's job, I don't ask questions. It's handled." -- nm - is how he should have answered Apr 13, 11:44 1
    - I'd give him shit for that answer actually. Seems a bit presumptuous that Warren would agree to serve in his admin. -- nm - ty97 Apr 13, 11:47
- If Wells and JPM fail, we're all f'ed and the dollar will have lost all value. But serious, Citigroup passed? - Robert Barontheon Apr 13, 11:00 1

    - No term limit. It sucks. -- nm - Krusty Apr 13, 11:06
  - Sadly, people don't tend to be that engaged in state and local politics. -- nm - ty97 Apr 13, 10:55 5
    - Because it affects them most. Makes sense. Stupid public. -- nm - Krusty Apr 13, 10:59 4
      - It's more administrative, but also one of the big turn-offs for state/local politics is the people involved in state/local politics -- nm - Roger More Apr 13, 11:29 2
        
        The second part is very true. -- nm - Krusty Apr 13, 11:37 1
        
        And I'm not just talking about the politicians, but the members of the public who are active in them. -- nm* - Roger More Apr 13, 11:46
