Of course there's a catch! You have to spend the thirty million, but after thirty days you're not allowed to own any assets. No houses, no cars, no jewelry. Nothing but the clothes on your back! Now, you can hire anybody you want, but you have to get value for their services. You can donate five percent to charity and you can gamble another five percent away, but you can't give this money away, and that includes buying the Hope Diamond for some bimbo as a birthday present...You must not destroy what is inherently valuable, that's instant disqualification. Oh, I almost forgot. You're not allowed to tell anybody WHY you have to spend this money.

I remember him being funny, but then every movie he's in is not very funny.

All he had to do was buy something consumable for an absurdly high price. There's nothing in the rules saying, for instance, that he can't purchase a drink of water for 30 million.

Because the stamp was a stamp, and he used it for its intended purpose. The fact that other collectors drove the price needed to acquire it to millions of dollars doesn't mean that it didn't have a legitimate use which took it out of Brewster's hands.

Global warming is barely a big deal at all compared to the trajectory we used to be on. We'll have to do a lot of environmental engineering projects along certain shorelines and it will be a little warmer and wetter in some places, big fucking deal.

how much crack would $30million buy? I know it wouldn't last 30 days. although crack buyers typically aren't known for planning ahead so it'd be more like 3-6million trips to the dealer not buying more than a rock at a time
