Resistance to capitalist gainz is useless. By the time this whole GameStop-Wall Street thing became something that middle-aged parents started asking their kids, you should have predicted this: Ah, yes, there will be films about it, in the plural. Adam McKay or someone similar (white man) will refer you. For a while, Deadline reports that MGM was the most thirsty of all studios, winning the film rights of – and this is where it starts real fun—A proposal for a book. It is not a real, complete text, which is impossible because this moment in time is still unfolding, the full extent of its impact remains unknown and a final event has yet to occur – this could drag on for months. Author Ben Mezrich (whose book on Facebook has been adapted for The social network) proposed a book on the current situation on GameStop-Wall Street. There are some really good TLs; DR /Lay stock assumes this, including This one from The Daily Showis Trevor Noah and this plain text version. Basically, a lot of ordinary people are screwing up some hedge funds and making money, and millionaires don’t like it because it proves that the market is not really free and fair and we must be regulated.
Mezrich’s final book will be titled The anti-social network, and should be auctioned by publishers later this month. Another fun ingredient: Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss, also known as the Winklevoss twins of Facebook fame, will be the executive producers of the inevitable film. Meantime, Deadline also reports that Netflix is moving quickly to build its own opinion on the chaos of the stock, with The Hurt LockerMark Boal talks about the script and Noah Centineo (For all the boys I’ve loved before) linked to the star and journalist / technology expert Scott Galloway in negotiations to consult.
As of now, GameStop shares are at $ 253.05 per share, down $ 72.56 from yesterday. At the WallStreetBets subreddit– which contributed significantly to the increase in GameStop’s shares – some users insisted that these declines were expected and instructed their fellow shareholders to “keep the line” and not sell their shares. Some have suggested / speculated that the stock may increase 10 times in the coming weeks. The truth is that no one really knows what is going to happen because no one knows how the economy really works, which is something else that you should probably learn now, while realizing that money it’s not really real.
