How To Make Money Selling Drugs

So one of the two movie that I saw this week was How To Make Money Selling Drugs. (I would have seen three but I had to know how True Detective ended, so that ate up some time). HTMMSD is an odd bird. It is a 2012 documentary about, well, I think you can figure that one out by yourself. The first two thirds of the movie is exactly what it claims to be. Not a satire or spoof, but a just a step by step guide of how to be successful as a drug dealer in America, as taught by people who have much experience in that field (famous rappers, former police officers, thugs, lawyers, etc). It is all done in a seemingly straight faced manor, that almost seems too good to be true. And SPOILER ALERT, it is. After glancing at the time after the process was finished (the movie treats the illegal drug business like a video game with different levels, bosses, and so on) and realizing that the movie still had 30 min left, I knew what had to be coming.

Why I haven't Seen So Many Big Movies

There are a bunch of HUGE movies I haven't seen, but I think there is a good reason for that .One of the things I love most about talking about movies is discovering some tiny, indie thing and trying to convince all of your friends about how awesome it is. So I will usually take a chance with something like a foreign movie as opposed to finally sitting my ass down to watch, say, Saving Private Ryan, because it's great, and I already know it's great, and if I talk about how great it is no one will care, so what's the point? But if I watch something because the poster and description sounds intriguing, the risk of it being terrible is higher, but the reward for it being awesome is also much higher.
