While I agree in general, it wouldn’t work so well with this one, since every movie in the year is actually the representive size. That would make the 2020s movies bloated

Total births is a better number. You don’t supply an army from your birthrate, you supply it from the number of babies who were born a few decades ago.

One of the best visual representations I’ve seen

Same here, rochester and temps have stayed well above 40F

That was the first bible verse I memorized as a kid, my dad always told me it was an important one to keep in your heart. Wealth isn’t necessarily a bad thing its just what you do with it and if it changes you. Unfortunately its easy to be corrupted when you become extraordinary wealthy.

Always give black text a white outline, and always give white text a black outline.

Then no matter what color the text is on, it will always remain visible

nah got the analogy backwards

Fr tho, best use of a Bible quote I’ve ever seen in a movie.

Somehow you deserve downvotes because the same jerks who don’t understand causal inference are those who say you shouldn’t mention any statistic that distracts from 9/11 being NINE…..ELEVEN. I am significant because I say I am.

Yeah, I missed that, if indeed that's what that means.

> doesn't even seem to incorporate inflation, right?

It measures "adjusted box office gross." I assume "adjusted" means "adjusted for inflation."

My favorite quote from Issa is, "yo that's a bs rationalization."

Here's a fun game. Which movie do you notice first when you zoom-click the center of the 2000s circle? My first was 'Signs.'

No more than they would put the Odessey or the Upanishads in the fiction section. Much more likely to go in classic literature or religious subsections within nonfiction

I thought this was a color blindness test when I clicked lmao

Yo that's a bs rationalization made by people who don't want to believe that Jesus meant what he said about wealth. The whole idea of the metaphor of the camel and the eye of a needle is the absurdity and impossibility of such an action. Compare to a similar image that Jesus used when condemning some Pharisees for their hypocrisy about he Law: "You strain a gnat but swallow a camel"- the reference being to the practice of straining water for gnats to avoid ingesting the non-kosher insects, and that they do those sorts of things but violate major principles of the Law of Moses.

Inflation adjusted values for the past decades? Or just raw box office #s?

Edit: NM I see it in the bottom right.

King james version? what version of the bible?

Is the adjusted leaderboard in the lower right.. rounded to the nearest Billion?

Off topic, but I'm curious if any libraries place the old and new testament in the fiction section?

Has Ecclesiastes never been quoted?

Is the verse about horse cock on here? I can’t remember what it is.

Don't they adjust for inflation with movies differently than they would an actual amount? I thought they used ticket sales vs price of today's average ticket price to calculate it?

What they mean is other movies adjust for inflation that didn't break the standard $1mil mark in the diagrams. But then it's adjusted in the top 10 numbering.

Try a log returns on the day. r = ln(p_i - p_{i-1}). This is typically how time series are analyzed
