Kiyosaki’s Silver Shock! 😱

by

Kiyosaki, in a recent pronouncement delivered via the modern-day equivalent of a town crier (that’s social media, you see), has warned that this upward lurch in silver’s price is a rather ominous sign. Seems he believes it points towards a regrettable decline in the value of the American Dollar, which is, as anyone with a modicum of sense knows, rather inconvenient if one wishes to purchase things. He frames it as a boon for those clever enough to have invested in precious metals – a slightly smug sentiment, if you ask me – and a thoroughly bad show for those of us still clutching onto perfectly good, but apparently depreciating, legal tender. 💸

Jamie Campbell Bower’s Unlikely Breakout in Tim Burton’s Sweeney Todd

by

Tim Burton’s film, Sweeney Todd, is based on the famous musical by Stephen Sondheim. It tells the story of a barber who returns to London after a long absence, determined to get revenge on those who wronged him. Actor Jamie Bower played Anthony Hope, a sailor who arrives in the city and unexpectedly falls in love with the daughter of the barber, Johanna. While it was once more common for big movies to feature lesser-known actors, Bower’s casting could be one of the last examples of this practice in today’s Hollywood, where studios often prefer safer choices.
