Here are the rules;
1. You CAN NOT accumulate wealth or goods. At the ends of the 30 days you can't have anything that you didn't already own.
2. You can not buy stuff and then destroy it.
3. Also you can not give the money away, so no buying expensive or lavish gifts for other people.
4. You can hire people to work for you, but you have to get real valve for their services.
5. You can give away 5% to charity and lose 5% to gambling.
6. You can not tell anybody what you're doing.
If you're not sure here is the set up for the rules.Warning, language, NSFW
So if you can do all of this you would win 300 million. If you can't, you get nothing. There is a "wimp" clause, you can take 1 million dollars instead.
So what would you do?

[quote]The whole "I'm not ready to be famous I'm a normal person" thing got old when she made fun of a non-English speaker after an Awards show. It wasn't so much that it was douchey, she was probably just fucking around and it was an honest mistake, but it made it abundantly clear (as it should have been already) that she wasn't as down-to-earth as she thought she was, and she's a powerful person who can bully people if she's not careful.
Her shtick (the girl next door whose a celebrity) just stopped working. She managed the impossible feat of being cute and relateable after three Oscar nominations; four was just pushing it.
She hasn't really made a good movie since Days of Future Past. The Hunger Games two-parter kind of sucked and brought to a close the chapter of her life that made her a star, Joy was an awards-seasoner that kind of sucked, Passengers was a major star vehicle that everyone hated. Oh, and X-Men Apocalypse, the finale to the series she took super seriously when she was starting out, but now doesn't give a flying shit about. It's a bit unprofessional, especially considering Fassbender, whose about as tired of these movies as she is, shows up in the movie and somehow still brings his fucking A-game.[/quote]

I watched this show in the early 80s and it was Ok. I have to admit that I didn't like seeing reruns of the earliest episodes when Ann was dating David Kane and they were just a bit too pushy about the women's lib/divorce issues in the scripts. I actually remember seeing the episodes where Ann dated the married guy when they first aired in prime time in 1977-78. But I can stand the show more from season 5 onward when they began giving the girls husbands. If I could watch any episodes now they would be the ones from the last 3 seasons, those are most interesting because of the marriages and there is a bit more growth to the characters in those shows: I recall the last season 2 parter where Barbara and her husband tried to adopt a little latino child.
I remember this show had a good long syndicated run in the 80s and early 90s and it was on cable up top about 1999, but I guess it's sometimes strident feminism makes it a bit dated now.
As for Bonnie Franklin she seemed miscast in the part at first, she was too young and didn't look like any Italian American I've ever met, but I grew to accept her in the part, which is another reason why I prefer the 80s shows. Seeing her with Joe Campanella who played her ex-husband in the first few seasons was too strange- he seemed more like her uncle than her ex-husband.

Seasons three and four were very good seasons for the show and it began to hit its stride. The first season shows were weak and Bonnie Franklin looked too young to play a mom of teenagers plus they made her look too homely at first. In season three you began to see Bonnie looking more prettier especially when she cut her hair in season 4. Season five was tragic because it was when MacKenzie Phillips' drug and alcohol problems became apparent and obvious. Those episodes were sad to watch because you can see the downward spiral she was in and how horrible she looked and sound. When she was let go from the show the following season you can see the big hole that was left in the show. Ron Rifkin and Glenn Scarpelli did not do a good job filling the void. I thought Ann's romantic relationship with Nick was not very good and no chemistry between Rifkin and Franklin whatsoever. Season 7 got better when Julie began making appearances and the show pick up its stride again but it was beginning to age some. [i]Season 8 was full of transitions and changes and that should had been it final season. Here was all that happened that year:[/i]
Mark and Barbara got married.
Julie and Max gave birth to Annie.
Ann met Sam, Mark's father, and they began dating, got engaged and got married.
Alex began dealing with losing his father.
Grandma Romano facing her husband's death.
About most of the 8th season was dealing with many changes of the characters. The final season was a yawn and it showed that it wore its welcome out. It was good to see Ann Romano came out on top with a husband and the opportunity to run her own agency in London. She came a long way.
I did love the addition of Francine played by Shelley Fabares. I definitely had a crush on her but I could not stand the character of Francine. She reminds me of many of my co-workers.
Also another thing to look at. Her and her former husband, Ed, were many years apart in age. You can look at them and tell they were at least ten years apart in age. Joe Campanella and Bonnie Franklin did not seemed compatible. I thought her and David Kane were. The co-dependency those two had would had got tired and old quick.[/quote]

^According to an ex-family friend who wrote a book about him he and Brittany dated while they were filming 8 Mile. Eminem used to have parties where strippers were always invited, mostly as scenery. Brittany would come to the parties but one time she came and didn't like the attention Eminem was showing the strippers so she faked a seizure. Her nutty mother showed up at the party blaming Brittany's "seizure" on Eminem saying he let her smoke weed while she was on medication. Em was really broken up about it, he was panicking and went to the hospital with her and everything. The next day he found out she faked it and he started avoiding her even as they were filming. According to the friend, way after filming had wrapped he performed at the MTV Movie Awards and when he heard she was going to be there he had his management find out where she was sitting so he wouldn't look in her direction when he was performing. Apparently he's very cold when he breaks up with girlfriends, friends and family.
There have been some occasions in which likely because the show was originally based on the UK, that it's quite apparent that they've used British actors for the reenactments despite the subject in question being an American celebrity. For example, I was quick to notice in the latest episode that they did on Richard Pryor, that the black actor who they got to play a doctor who spoke to Pryor when he had his first heart attack while in his hometown in Illinois, spoke with a clear British accent. And then the woman they they had play one of his wife, Jennifer, if you listen closely it's quite apparent that she speaks like Adele.

It's funny how Alec can mercilessly poke fun at Trump. Trump's family isn't a train wreck ... case in point I think Ivanka is a much more respectable and classy woman compared to trailer park Ireland.

You’ve Got Mail has dated horribly in the 19 years since it was released. It isn’t just the haircuts that have aged, or the music, or even the fact that it’s about a battle between small bookstores (which don’t exist any more) and big bookstores (which don’t exist any more) over who gets to sell the most books (which nobody reads any more).
How Twitter killed the official movie website
Read more
No, the thing that dates You’ve Got Mail more than anything else is its website. Never taken down, it really goes in hard on what the internet was like in the days before anyone really had the internet. There’s a “Buy the video” link, and a link to the You’ve Got Mail soundtrack CD. There’s downloadable desktop wallpaper that strobes violently like a Japanese cartoon, and instructions on how to download it to Windows 95. There are RealAudio files of New York street drummers. Most grievously of all, the website contains the text “Sure, computers aren’t really the end of Western Civilization as we know it, but they’re full of great ways to waste a little time”, which of course has since been proved wrong on two counts now that Twitter exists.
Obviously, You’ve Got Mail isn’t alone here. In the late 90s and early 00s, Hollywood became slightly too confident about what the internet could offer moviegoers. Jurassic Park sequel The Lost World created its very own InGen site, full of menus and submenus that lead to emails where two non-film characters describe last night’s dreams to each other in excruciating detail. Space Jam basically has a GeoCities page where if you click around enough, you’ll be presented with a list of radio stations that are “currently playing the first single from the Space Jam Soundtrack, Seal - Fly Like An Eagle”. Steampunk western Wild Wild West’s site has a page where, if you must, you can perv on impractically small photographs of the film’s “lovelies” (its female cast members) in various provocative poses.

The Golden Raspberries started off as an informal joke. Something for a publicist and his friends to do after the Oscars had ended. Over time, it has become and enduring and irreverent tradition. In theory, The Razzies poke fun at the worst movies of the year. But like any awards ceremony, the Razzies frequently make the wrong call. We’re going back and looking at the history of the Golden Raspberry Awards one year at a time.
The thirty-seventh annual Razzies nominated the movies of 2016. Rogue One: A Star Wars Story and Finding Dory were the top movies of the year. La La Land was announced as Best Picture at the Academy Awards in error. The prize actually went to Moonlight. Casey Affleck and Emma Stone took home the top acting honors. At the Razzies, voters were still recovering from an exhausting presidential election and a joyless super hero slugfest.
