More good blockbusters, more good low to mid-budget indie dramas continuing from trend started in 80's, someone like Lynch taking off even more than he did in 80's, more solid thrillers et...

I knew these card games can get really collectible, but I'm a little surprised they're going for THAT much for single cards.
Like is this purely a rarity thing or do old cards still give you an advantage in the game?

I think it makes sense to want to address those in the movie though.

That's also the postmodern style that was pretty in vogue in the 90's (Think Tarantino...
