    American Movie (1999) has lived rent-free in my head since Y2K.

    The filmmaker Chris Smith has gone on to make Fyre, Tiger King, Bad Vegan and others.

    Maybe. I feel that "calculated risk" is no risk at all.

    Blindly taking chances "just do it" fashion with no clue about possible consequences it's not very smart, especially since most decisions affect someone else negatively.

    There's randomness in life, no doubt about it.

    We can account for it: plan B, realist optimism, etc...

    But "hoping" that it will all happen just because of sheer luck... I don't think it's smart.

    For instance, I think this is what happened to FYRE (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fyre_Festival), there's a great documentary on Netflix. I cringed.
