Off to see Jurassic World 2 in a few minutes, not expecting too much

Was actually pretty decent, quote jumpy moment and gory deaths for a 12A, my 9 year old poo'd her pants a couple of times haha

Least she knew who to blame the smell on

I stumbled across it again a couple of months back whilst channel hopping.
Great fun.

Any films about sales people can recomend? Have a re-watch of Glenn Garry pencilled in. Any others? Need to put some heat on a sales team and want to get into the mindset - and have some fun!

Not sales, but marketing.

The Fall and Rise of Reginald Perrin?
Wolf of Wall Street
Fargo

 

[ShipOfTheseus]

Wolf of Wall Street covers the same ground as Boiler Room and is much funnier. But generally people use sporting metaphors and footage to convince sales people to put a little more effort in. No-one has ever made a film which glorifies sales, and they'd be especially unlikely to do so in the UK. And there's nothing motivational about getting your team to think about Willy Loman.

Nicholas cage film about selling guns...Lord of war

 

[SpurMeUp]

One of my favourite films.

Watched the opening of it last night. Alex Baldwin is it, who comes in and sets the tone at the get go? ABC, always be closing! ...I'm not sure it did me any favours in a meeting this morning I was too aggressive after watching that opening, maybe lost some cooperation. It did help later, looking at pitching to customers. It's an inspiring, but deeply sad film I think. I find it hard to watch Jack Lemon's character. You just know he's doomed.

What a cast. Lemon isn't the stand out for me. Pachino and Baldwin are awesome in their pomp. But I know Kevin Spacey puts a lot of his own development and success down to Jack Lemon. He was a mentor to him.

Awesome film.

Didnt particularly like the film, hardly remember it now - but that opening sequence of the life of a bullet is incredible.

It’s alright
Very sales driven though
