>become 200 IQ genius>borrow money from dangerous russian mob>doesn't pay him back
Yes that is the plot
>>217245081Yes that's the entire point of the film. It's to show that no matter how powerful you become, one little fuck up can send your entire empire tumbling to the ground.
too bad the tv show went nowhere
>>217245081sam hyde watched this movie when he came up with the idea of debtmaxxing
i was also annoyed with how long it took the "genius" to even think about consolidating his supply of the drugone of the first things you'd do is use your ridiculous learning ability to reverse engineer it so you'd have a limitless supply. You wouldn't wait anywhere near as long as he did and you wouldn't outsource it immediately
You can do that irl to banks
>>217245151I liked the TV show, but it could've been so much more than yet another cops & robbers detective show. The massive plot holes didn't help it either.
>>217245141>borrowing money from the mafia>one little fuck up
>>217245081>this high IQ plan goes over my head!OH NONONONONO
>>217245168Rich elites can do that, poor, working class peasants get thrown in the dungeon to fend for themselves.
>>217245184Not paying it back on time was the fuck up.
Has anyone tried any intelligence enhancing techniques? Something like the loci method.
>>217245081Classic Hollywood movie problem: you try to write this genius character, but the problem is that your IQ is below room temperature.
>>217245190You can get a 0% interest loan from any bank just by wearing a stupid little hat and saying shabbat shalom to your banker.
>>217245081he's a retards idea of a super genius
>>217245200
>>217245200Not paying your debt to your insanely dangerous russian creditor is incompatible with being a 200 IQ genius. It's not just a "little fuck up", it's a major plot hole.Also this nigga >>217245162 is right.
>>217245081>>217245124That is not the plot. He did pay them back, they just discovered the genius drug and wanted it for themselves.
>>217245081This movie is literally just Bradley Cooper discovering adderall
>>217245253It’s not what happened >>217245258
>>217245081>eats your pill >slaps throatShlanka schmaknka kyovi blyatt
>>217245206Yes I tried this very obscure method.Basically thousands of years ago someone found that you could store human thoughts inside inanimate objects using arcane symbols. The ancients used to do it to rocks, but later they found out you could do it with dead plants and store more thoughts with more symbols because of the bigger surface area, although it does make the vessel more temporary and vulnerable to destruction. This method still lives on today but some magi discovered that by combining rocks with lightning you can actually store billions of times more knowledge in rocks than anyone ever thought.If you know where to look you can be inducted into circles where people share this inscribed knowledge, absorbing it into yourself with your eyes, or your ears if they speak the inscription allowed to you.Cost me $80,000 would not recommend
>>217245325Fucking kek
>>217245325how cute, you entertained this brown kid >>217245423
>>217245081>2 trillion IQ>being smart means making smart decisions
>generic goon takes magic intelligence pill>immediately starts wearing a suitlol
>>217245550>only taking the iq test once instead of taking it repeatedly until you fluke the high scorei guess there are some forms of intelligence your test can't measure
>>217245496>see others having fun>feel the need to lash outVery low IQ behavior
>>217245605Think the point was he’d done something to afford suits. Doesnt he have a Rolex or some shit in the fight at the apartment? Don’t think he was wearing a suit cos he became intelligent anon
>>217245081This movie couldn't have not sucked, the premise is stupid, it's capeshit with the most boring superpower.You can't make a movie where the main guy wins until he takes over the universe and becomes the singularity.
>>217245853>You can't make a movie where the main guy wins until he takes over the universe and becomes the singularity.But you can if the 'guy' is ScarJohttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bN7ksFEVO9U
>>217245911huh I guess it can be done.
>>217245081High IQ people do retarded shit all the time
>>217245605>>217245814it could be that he took more care of his apperance. isn't one of the first things the MC does after taking the pill cleaning his room?
>they say he's up to 400 baneposts a minute>it's like the captchas aren't even there>do you understand this sneed stuff he's coming up with?>nobody does... except him
>>217245258he forgets to pay them back, they come looking for the money and beat him up, magic pill falls out of his pocket, russian guy goes yum yum, he pays them back later AND gives them a small supply to say sorry. Diagnosis: Dum Dum
I thought one of bad effects of the drug was that it made you arrogant and reckless
Is this movie about Adderall/Meth?
>>217245800go to reddit if you want upvote points for your pointless drive by replies
>>217245800Reddit here, please do my friend. We can always use more complimentary people. be one of us, quirk chungus.
>when you get called quirk chungus
>>217245325heh
>>217245279why does he look like that
>>217245325You're snark is why I come here. Keep it up.
>>217245550This guy is a total moron but has Donald trumped his way into the public sphere. There is a asian guy claiming to have the highest iq score as well as proving the Bible is completely correct. Jimmi Kimmel had a guy who forged his identity to get into high school and get the perfect score. He ate dog food because he thought it had the same nutritional content, can't remember his name.
Start doing this
>>217245605It is a cinematic shorthand to inform the audience his lot in life has improved. He goes on a diatribe on how his life has improved and his will to power is his motivation for targeting the main character.
>>217245853>>217245911Fun fact, Meryl Streep told Scarlett she loved that movie.
>>217247932what was his book about again?
>>217247958They dont say but the editor is impressed. They didnt want to actually write something profound.
>>217246528Someone seems salty that no one likes his stale, recycled /pol/ humor.
>>217245206The trachtenberg method got mentioned in that capt. America movie for mental math. Have never tested it out. Same with the soroban math method.
>I need more money>do I spend an extra few days on /biz/ and safely earn it via trading?>nah, I'll just get a loan from a shady slav gangster #YOLO
>>217245325wait until they learn about transmitting data into the sky
>>217247843He is russian.
>>217247902think about it
>>217247958Something that "masquerades as a sci-fi novel" but is really about the condition of the individual in the 21st century or sth. like that
>>217248019>soroban mathis that when little gook kids have a seizure with their fingers and retard normies get impressed by them doing arithmetic quickly(pointless skill)
>>217249362
The superimpose mind altering scenes are fantastic. I don't watch this movie for the plot and neither should you. It's much better than the split screen in Ocean's 11 or screen fades in Star Wars.
>>217249362he wanted to be New Yorks version of Dostoevsky
>>217245081It was fun. Most movies aren't fun.I don't think you're as smart as you think you are.
>>217245081He forgot and was occupied with other things; it was before he improved the NZT. You can see how the pill affected his perception of time.It’s believable, and you can attribute it to a side effect of NZT before it was refined.
>>217245211Why does the interest matter if you're not gonna pay it back?
>>217245325Lol
>>217245550Dude realised that the only way to win the game is not playing it. And move on with his life. 210 IQ for sure.
>>217249409Uh, racist much?! If you can get the correct answer when doing calculations it can help during exams.
>>217251347He is a lunatic who has gotten by stringing people along with nonsense.
>character takes a pill that makes you a genius>first thing he does is fucking an asian womanBut seriously, what did they mean by this?
>>217251775Tv carpio is so hot! Loved her in across the universe.
>>217245081These pills exist. It's called dexamphetamine.
>>217245550>listen to an interview with this guyWow, he's a full on retard. Those IQ tests don't mean a whole lot
>>217245081What are they gonna? do call the cops? Hi police this is the mafia some dude stole our money
>>217245605>>217246276There's a genuine Metaphysics behind this, you niggers. Higher = More subtle/refined whereas lower = More coarse/gross/unrefined
>>217253985I told you, he is a charlatan who believes his own hype. A Donald trump type.
>>217253159>makes you so smart you realise there's gold hidden in your apartment's floor
In the book, the tobacco companies get rid of first guy to try the pill because he doesn't feel the need to smoke.
