  1. Feedback: you either need a horizontal grid line to help reading the chart, or ditch the Y axis entirely and add data labels to each column

  2. Better than the version with the Skittles colors, but I think a table is the best way to present such a simple dataset.

  3. Wild. I’ve not seen or heard of a single one of these movies.

  4. Rushmore is my favorite. I had no idea it was dwarfed by everything after it including a few uninspired clunkers.

  5. Why use a bar plot in the first place and not a scatter plot with year as x axis?

  6. Grand Budapest Hotel was good, but I never understood why it was so much more successful than the rest

  7. If Bottle Rocket was released today it would be way up there.

  9. The question is – how many of his films earned back the budget? If memory serves, it might be zero.

  10. A bit sad about The French Dispatch, I felt it was one of the best written films of the last decade, I guess it doesn’t fit with modern narrative writing though.

  11. Phoenician scheme on a budget of 30 mil right now has only made 7 back

  12. Anyone else see a cup and handle forming? Long on WAF
