The film offers eight exposures per roll, and it’s cheap to buy, develop, and print. Recently I bought an antique camera on eBay. I don’t know why, maybe just a desire to recapture something from my youth.

Sales calls where salespeople read from generic cold calling scripts convert at an abominable rate: Less than 1 percent. That means if you make 100 calls, you’ll only get one meeting. Unsolicited cold calling sucks for the salespeople but is probably worse for the prospects.

A great film can turn a visit to the cinema into more than just an excuse to relax. I’ve pulled together a few of my favorite films below. This film follows the goings on of an investment bank over a 24-hour period. Based on the true story of Jordan Belfort , this film follows Belfort’s drug-fueled, money-making ride to the top, and his crime-ridden, debauched fall back down, which ended in a prison term and a surprising second act.
