I'm just gonna pretend that you were civil and leave this here:


"Comparative advantage is when a country produces a good or service for a lower opportunity cost than other
countries."

For example, if Samsung earns $20 from TV and $10 from refrigerator production, the opportunity cost here is $10. Thus, if Samsung has to choose to specialize in a specific product, it will pick TV because it's more financially viable.

This is the last time I'll quote you btw, you've a distasteful personality.
And you're just realising this??

Well said. I'm surprised people are calling that nonsensical film a classic. A classic would suggest a universally acclaimed piece of recognized/tremendous value usually promoting a culture or/and era.
The Yorubas will say "o ma ya mi lenu ke". It is very surprising.

I love Jackie. He is my all time favourite martial artist actor, BUT I will not call a cow 'uncle' because I want to eat meat.

Oh. I've always known, but I held out hope that maybe it's all an act. Alas, it isn't, it's just his personality.

Yeah, he's iconic, but like a lot of his peers, he has had his fair amount of forgettable movies over the years.

Go sidon, you're always flexing your muscle on the internet... it's adults like you that still live with their parents. Go and get a job. Perhaps then, you will spend less time trolling and insulting other people.



I have a job.

The real issue of joblessness lies in the fact that you seem to have so much time to watch numerous movies.

This is what happens when you use big grammar to explain simple things. You end up looking like you are talking nonsense.

Comparative cost advantage relates to countries or national economies and their abilities to produce certain goods or services at a lower cost.

You simply used the wrong terminology


Am very much aware of what Comparative cost advantage means & its workings. Wrong terminology, i wouldn't really call it that, yeah, the principle boarders on low cost. In respect to the subject matter, I basically superimposed my idea & worked on an existing terminology, thereby doing a series of addition & subtraction that bests suits the topic of discussion. But I get your point, its basically no longer the actual term.





There are two things that can negate the theory that pg13 movies are more profitable due to an wider audience-


1. The aforementioned production costs. A lower budget R18 movie could be more profitable than a high budget pg13 movie if the difference between their profits is smaller than the difference between their costs

My emphasis is on the MCU. Thank God you used could so far so good, i don't think this is applicable to the universe. High budget pg-13 movies are always a big hit in the box office, so using your math/analysis here isn't feasible.

2. A highly rated r18 movie can do better than an average rated pg13 movie in the box office

By Highly rated 18 movie as in excessive gory & bloody scene & use of strong language??.. This has never happened in the MCU. A case were a highly rated 18 movie surpasses an average pg-13 movie at the box office, I might be wrong though, so am calling on Marvel fans for validation.

I loved that movie. The pure chaos from all of the parties, and in the end, a pile of dead bodies, and absolutely nothing of importance was ever at stake.

Malkovich (Cox) finally losing his_shit in the end though... Pure dark comedic moment. Or before Brat Pitt's character got shot in the face? The look on his face was hilarious af.

The Coens at the whimsical best. grin grin

I was just shaking my head as the bodies piled up for absolutely no reasonable cause. Mrs Cox (Tilda Swinton) summed up the absolute absurdity of the entire situation when she exclaimed to her husband- "why would on Earth would anyone think that was worth anything?!" (the more or less useless memoir disc)

As for Cox going ballistic at the end, that was the reaction of an emasculated man frustrated by his life's failures. And of course, his 'drinking problem' grin

Gosh that movie has earned a 'Never Delete' spot in my laptop.

Marvel has a better chance of recouping their investments, and gaining a profit by specializing on a market friendly product than on a more niched variety. The comparative advantage here being Marvel picking P-13 films over R-rated films since the former is more financial viable aka very lucrative.
God bless you for this.

City hunter was the fifth highest grossing movie in Hong Kong that year. The movie referenced street fighter a classic videogame.

Yes, the key word. I watched Fist of Fury even before I watched City Hunter (I know because I watched it on our Black and white telly, while City Hunter was on Coloured television. My dad bought our first coloured telly in 1993), yet I still remember a lot of the fight scenes from FoF. City Hunter is so forgettable that it was about an hour into the movie that I realised I have seen this movie before.

Well said. At the bolded, i was exaggerating & also, i was just pulling your legs. And you're right, the movie was loosely based on an anime series by the same title. I was just kinda aghast that someone who likes Jackie's style of slapstick action comedy, would actually not fancy the movie, but like you said We can't all love the same things.
I didn't fancy the movie because it was just too cartoonish for my liking, darling. There were a few laughs here and there but overall, meh. I'm gonna delete it asap.

Something told me it was always going to come down to this (switching genders) and this is a very SALIENT question you are asking because the atmosphere of today might not agree with a woman who sleeps with anything in her sights. Are they now going to make Moneypenny male? These people sef....
