The Big Short: "Every American Should See This Movie & Be F##king Pissed Off"
Submitted by Jim Quinn via The Burning Platform,
“The truth is like poetry, and most people fucking hate poetry.”
The Big Short opens nationwide today. But it happened to have one showing last night at a theater near me. My youngest son and I hopped in the car and went to see it. I loved the book by Michael Lewis. The cast assembled for the movie was top notch, but having the director of Anchorman and Talledaga Nights handle a subject matter like high finance seemed odd.
The choice of Adam McKay as director turned out to be brilliant. The question was how do you make a movie about the housing market, mortgage backed securities, collateralized debt obligations, collateralized debt swaps, and synthetic CDOs interesting for the average person. He succeeded beyond all expectations.
Interweaving pop culture icons, music, symbols of materialism, and unforgettable characters, McKay has created a masterpiece about the greed, stupidity, hubris, and arrogance of Wall Street bankers gone wild. He captures the idiocy and complete capture of the rating agencies (S&P, Moodys). He reveals the ineptitude and dysfunction of the SEC, where the goal of these regulators was to get a high paying job with banks they were supposed to regulate. He skewers the faux financial journalists at the Wall Street Journal who didn’t want to rock the boat with the truth about the greatest fraud ever committed.
What makes the movie great are the characters, their motivations, their frustrations, their anger at a warped demented system, and ultimately their hollow victory when the entire edifice of fraud came crashing down on the heads of honest hard working Americans. The movie does not glorify the men that ended up making billions from the demise of the housing bubble. But it clearly defines the real bad guys.
Steve Carell plays Mark Baum (based on the real life character Steve Eisman). He’s the kind of prick who would fit in perfectly on TBP. He is abrasively hysterical with his foul mouthed commentary and insults to authority. He is the heart and soul of the movie. You feel his pain throughout. Carrell should win an Academy Award for his performance.
Christian Bale’s quirky performance as one eyed Dr. Michael Burry, whose Asberger’s Syndrome actually allowed him to focus on the minutia and discover the fraud before everyone else, is top notch. Ryan Goseling is hysterical in his role as the narrator of the story. Brad Pitt plays a supporting role, but does it with his usual class.
Ultimately, it is a highly entertaining movie with the right moral overtone, despite non-stop profanity that captures the true nature of Wall Street traders. This is a dangerous movie for Wall Street, the government, and the establishment in general. They count on the complexity of Wall Street to confuse the average person and make their eyes glaze over. That makes it easier for them to keep committing fraud and harvesting the nation’s wealth.
This movie cuts through the crap and reveals those in power to be corrupt, greedy weasels who aren’t really as smart as they want you to think they are. The finale of the movie is sobering and infuriating. After unequivocally proving that Wall Street bankers, aided and abetted by the Federal Reserve, Congress, the SEC, and the mainstream media, destroyed the global financial system, put tens of millions out of work, got six million people tossed from their homes, and created the worst crisis since the Great Depression, the filmmakers are left to provide the depressing conclusion.
No bankers went to jail. The Too Big To Fail banks were not broken up – they were bailed out by the American taxpayers. They actually got bigger. Their profits have reached new heights, while the average family has seen their income fall. Wall Street is paying out record bonuses, while 46 million people are on food stamps. Wall Street and their lackeys at the Federal Reserve call the shots in this country. They don’t give a fuck about you. And they’re doing it again.
Every American should see this movie and get fucking pissed off. The theater was deathly silent at the end of the movie. The audience was stunned by the fact that the criminals on Wall Street got away with the crime of the century, and they’re still on the loose. I had a great discussion with my 16 year old son on the way home. At least there is one millennial who understand how bad his generation is getting screwed.
Merry Fucking Christmas America from a Wall Street banker

But what if the plan is to end the FED? This movie paints the lower-level bankers as the scapegoats, who would be vilified while the real bastards who caused the whole damn thing get off scot-free.
Anyone who thinks they can stop the fed will be Kennedy'd. I honestly don't see the FED going away anytime soon. Look at all the presidential candidates blaming everyone/everything except the the source of the problem - the UN-Federal Reserve and their secret shareholders.
Don't you mean the Cheese popes?
H/t to FS.
Wonder what Naomi Prins take on this flick would be.
Or Clintons'. Both of them.
That was a great movie revue and I don't think I have ever read one like it. It was delightfully to the point, without sugar coating and it used colorful language to describe exactly what you would want to know about the movie. I will definitely watch it. Merry Fucking Christmas to you too.
Directed by Adam McKay (Anchorman, Step Brothers, The Other Guys....), so fuck yeah I'm going to go see it. Remember the end credits for The Other Guys? He fucking hates Wall Street.
ps: It's the fucking Catalina Wine Mixer.
yeah the other guys was ok.
This movie is closer to the truth than Wall St would like...better get some more security Jamie and Lloyd, and get used to the great indoors. Outside will probably be, dangerous to your health...
I am outraged ! I was not consulted in the making of this film nor on the payroll!
Really?
Get mad at a fictional movie with fictional characters?
Why not just get mad at the REAL people??

What's wrong Tyler? Chicken?
What about the Frankin coverup and murders associated with it?
http://youtu.be/sQHrbJPhus4
What's wrong Tyler? Your vagina hurt?
Uh, Jim Quinn wrote this. You really should get over your man-crush on the Tylers.
Perhaps you should read the book. These are real characters from a non fiction book. They may have changed a name or two but these are real people. I will lend you my copy if you can't afford one.
What's wrong Tyler? Chicken?
It's not just the Tylers but everyone that runs a site like this risks having their door kicked in at 4 a.m. by some alphabet soup SWAT (or is that TWAT) team guys the minute they post something advocating a more "active" form of retribution for the criminals on Whale Street and in CONgress. I don't blame them for drawing a line on what articles they'll post or what content they'll allow . . . .
Try doing what you appear to be suggesting and see what happens next. Make sure you have your personal shit in order before you do something like you're suggesting though.
Free Jon Corzine
We are very very pissed off. I think one of the guys in this movie said that. Ha ha !!!
Get even or stop complaining. 8 years is more than long enough to serve up revenge ICE COLD !!!!
The movie was released just in time for the next crisis?
Yep, they are already casting for the next one. Lloyd Blankfein is going to be played by John Malchovich, Janet Yellen will be played by Cathy Bates. Charlie Sheen and Rob Lowe are hoping to play traders. Heroin and coke will be provided by the latest operation freedom and it will be an Aaron Spelling production. Everyone is expected Spelling to throw his ugly daughter in there somewhere.
Charlie Sheen and Rob Lowe are hoping to play traders. . . .
While they're not too busy giving each other the 'ol reach around.
Truth is poetry - multifaceted and foundational

I will purchase a ticket to see this movie using the money I didn't spend on Star Wars.
i think i'll skip the movie and just watch it happen real time....
i think i'll skip the movie and just watch it happen real time....
Movie started in 1913.
Tell me,
Who plays the feminist bitch who neuters a white male actor?
Who plays the mudshark?
Who plays the black Power character who gives the orders?
All are required in todays movies.
Be careful not to be indoctrinated...
All are required in todays movies. . . .
I'll tell you what is required in today's big budget movies . . . having a leading actor that is either Jewish or has Zionist views and making sure a large number of the remainder of the cast is composed of Jews or vocal supporters of Israel. Predominately the Executive Producers and Directors are Jews and/or hard core Zionists.
When are the stupid goyim sheep in the USA going to wake up and realize that a religious group that accounts for only >2% of the US population controls about 75% of the top acting jobs and over 90% of the Executive and Director jobs in the movie industry?? Does anyone realize that almost every movie produced is done to support Jewish points of view or at the least to make sure nothing negative is included regarding Jewish causes or Israel. If the Chinese or Germans, for example, had this same control of the movie industry in the USA the people wouldn't stand for it!! And NO, being a "Jew" does not make you a part of an ethnic group like say, sub-Saharan Africans or Asians.
Go ask Mel Gibson how he feels.
I feel left out of the blame game. I wanna play.
As an irresponsible borrower back in 2007, I took out a loan for a house I couldn't afford. Filed for bankruptcy a year and half later. Oh, and spent up as much credit card debt as I could, only ever paying the minimum.
Since then I've been in full recovery mode, saving any way possible. So please, before throwing anger totally at bankers and such, throw a stone or two this way, cause I sure do deserve it and so does anyone else who CHOSE irresponsibly to take on unaffordable debt.
I've been in lending for a very long time and borrowers should for their own sake have a better idea of what they are doing but you can quit blaming yourself.
Good underwriting on good loans say no when it should and avoids the entire mess you had to go through.
That's like blaming yourself for hiring a rouge plumber and saying you should of known more about plumbing so you didn't get swindled.
Well yeah sort of but then again if the guy was legit it would of never happened either.
Fantastic comment. Wish I could give you more than +1. I hope each of us serfs who are justly blaming the kingpins at the top of this mess will take a look in the mirror as they could not have done it without us, the unwitting enablers of their game for decades. Realistic self-assessment is the only way we are going to survive the next kingpin conman who comes along after this mess collapses -- and he will.
I was (thanks to the internet) aware by 2007. But all through the 90s, I did the same as you -- took on too much credit card debt that I could not afford, and ran up student loans. Looking back, it was fortunate for me that the government called in my loans before I graduated (bit of an exception in my case, basically the bank failed to send them paperwork that said I was still a student) and wiped my bank account completely clean, refusing to give anything back without lawyers that I couldn't afford, so that I was forced to interrupt my studies and get a job. Stayed in corporate wage-slave hell for two more decades, paying off debt, including experiences with debt collectors, and learned my lesson just in time for the internet to set me free with the truth. I got lucky in a way.
I was a good little socialist too, supporting every government handout initiative and attending every politically-correct protest I could find, back then. Supported every loser handout cause-candidate on the roster. It took a lot of reality, going without, and starvation-level poverty to wake me up. I was one of those stupid SJW youth the people here make fun of. My youth wasn't that pleasant but oh boy, did I learn.
I hope more and more of us normal stiffs see the light and follow your example, Rossypooh. You are obviously a survivor who learns from your mistakes by not denying them. Your comment gives me a more optimistic outlook on 'our fellow man'.
It must be a good smack in the teeth to go from SJW to full on liberation conservative.
I was raised by marxists and sites like ZeroHedge red pilled me LONG ago. I wasnt really a commie or anything but Im full on trad-con now
marxists and jews are ruining this country, big time.
fuck SJW
You sir, win the internet today. As someone else said, more or less, your comment provides a ray of light in the darkness. You made the choice. Period. No politics, no race, no religion. A personal choice. Then you went and did something crazy. You took responsability for it.
Blessings to you and your parents.
"Loan"? Do you mean the one where (a) the banker gives you cash from the vault and which represents Deposits, or (b) the Credit conjured on the keyboard of his computer?
You fake libertarians clearly STILL don't understand MMT, fiat currency or FRB. Sheesh!
I probably won't see this movie because I was done being pissed off about 2010. Timing is everything. My dad died in 2009, left me with the family home and a "shitty" first mortgage from CUNTrywide (yeah, that Mozilo scumbag). I figured it out early on, had the robosigned assignment, got the foreclosure notice, fucking estate attorney left me hanging out to dry, so I did all the work myself, sued for fraud, lived in the house for nearly six years, paid nothing, not even taxes, played the bank attorneys (three of them) like fucking Stradivarious, made the bank pay me $9K to move out with no recourse, so I got mine, I got even with the filthy pricks.
Fuck being pissed off. Quinn is a little late to the party on that note, as is this movie, which, BTW, shows the level of hubris by the hollywood establishment to even make this film. Fuck them. Money grubbers, every last one.
Did I mention that BANKS SUCK?
The satanic genious of getting U.S. to pay them to re-experience the destruction they foisted on the American public at astronomical PROFIT, both while causing the catastrophe and while getting BAILED OUT is amazing...at $10 a head.

wait for the 1080P YIFY version. $0.00 You do have to pay for the homemade popcorn.
Yeah I can't imagine a commercially successful movie out of this that would actually tell the truth and make it to the screens.
What someone should do is write one of those fantastical novels where everything is a symbol for something else and jazz it up, put some romance, danger, intrigue and of course big boobs in it.
The real message ala the olden days usually had to be hidden to avoid the wrath of those it was really aimed at.
Hollywood is just the west coast branch and propagandists for the banksters and their masters. All part of the same global criminal organization.
Since I support none of them, their actions or plans for theft, death and destruction you could watch this movie for free instead.
It is getting late to prevent history from repeating itself.

Alleged conversation:
Alan Greenspan: We're never going to agree on Fraud.
Brooksley Born (CFTC): What do you mean?
Alan Greenspan: You probably think there should be rules against it.
Brooksley Born: Well, yes I do.
Alan Greenspan: I think the market will take care of itself and the fraudsters.
The problem is everything that was illegal or fraudulent is now business as usual. When the attorney general came out and said and I paraphrase, we cannot prosecute those that perpetrated the fraud because the world might lose faith in the system, we all should have know the majority were fucked. It will happen again (huge liquidation of everything) the system is so levered up, and in reality know one knows what's really on the banks sheets the fed sheets and what anything is worth. No Glass Steagall, mark to fantasy and no prosecution makes one wonder how bad it will really get.
Hopefully next time someone will have the balls to say enough is enough, but I doubt it. We'll probably get QE to the tune of 2 trillion a year, more consolidation of wealth and a lot more part time, low paying, no benefit jobs and the people that own the world will tell you they saved it again and that you should be happy with what you got.
the sheep will not go to this movie, the recent immigrant from nigeria or syria or guatemala, does not care america got fucked by the elites of wall st and dc, nor the black lives matter negro free shit army. (now you know why the elite of both so called sides d or r ..want open massive immigration, they escape any justice cause the new sheep don't care)
the ones who came to ZH years ago already know the scam- thank you ZH.
so we do not need to see it. it's just to torture us while we buy the whip they beat us with.
Assault to Wall Street
https://youtu.be/8Y-NqShTj5w
Ha ha ha! an utterly charming and fictional contrivance, and a rollicking good time! I recommend everyone see it, and bear in mind that it is just a movie, no need for undue passions, &c.
Gun Control. Right on Schedule!
The crooks are in charge. If you publically expose them, they with the media will publically destroy you. If you can figure out a way to do it under the radar, then maybe we get our country back.
Millions in year-end bonus for a top manager they should be merry.
Oh, I am so fucking going to see this movie as well.
At the end of the HBO movie “Too Big To Fail” the actors were interviewed and were all completely disgusted with what went on during the financial crisis. Then they were informed without the bailouts they’d of lost millions each. The millionaire actors quickly changed their tune and said the bailouts were necessary.

Forget the Big Short. Sorry Tyler, but I am de-railing your thread.
Listen folks. has anybody seen the movie Thirteen Hours? It's about Benghazi. I'm asking here because I trust the opinions of people here more than the general public.
I'm asking because there were a lot of details about the Benghazi incident. I'm not talking about all of the Government hoo-haa after the incident. I am talking about a lot of stuff that occurred at the US Embassy (and surrounding environment) before the tragic night happened, and during. I am hoping that the people who made Thirteen Hours did careful research, and pulled the whole story together.
Opinions????
I need to read more about it. Benghazi is the smoking gun w/o the smoke, apparently. The HC classic "what difference does it make anyway?" ... you know, there are actually ppl who dont believe in God, but when you think about it, it is a miracle we are all still here in one piece.
Behghazi leads to arming ISIS and must be covered up. That Chris Stevens thought he was on the team until he was no longer useful.
Fucking corrupt pyschopaths
What is the public going to take away from this movie? Short sellers are evil. That's what they'll believe. Fucktards!@$
It was all economic treason, committed in an organized way, by criminals. The Organized Crime laws could be easily applied, which means you bad guys lose all your stuff, because it was the proceeds of Organized Crime... gee, sounds worse than the penalty for treason.
At this point what difference does it make ? Kackle kackle kackle.
"This is a dangerous movie for Wall Street, the government, and the establishment in general."
"They count on the complexity of Wall Street to confuse the average person and make their eyes glaze over. That makes it easier for them to keep committing fraud and harvesting the nation’s wealth."
These two statements contradict one another.
"These two statements contradict one another."
Not as I read it.
“This is a dangerous movie for Wall Street, the government, and the establishment in general”….
There’s surely no need to reiterate here the main point i.e.“because it cuts through the crap and reveals those in power to be corrupt.”
"They count on the complexity of Wall Street to confuse the average person and make their eyes glaze over. That makes it easier for them to keep committing fraud and harvesting the nation’s wealth."
Where’s the contradiction?
And not a word about John Paulson who also shorted and made billions??
Shame he probably made more and sooner than any of those schmucks.

This is why I believe Bernie Sanders is team Hillary. If he was truly asocialist he should be blaming the Greenspan Recession right at Hillary's cankles.
The Wall Street movie “The Big Short” exposing criminal corruption is one more reason to demand of all political candidates to clearly state their purpose for running for political office.
The question that all American political candidates should be required to answer: “Are you an Oligarchy Washington EMPIRE fascist or do you believe in American sovereignty, independence, Democracy, Bill of Rights, Constitution, Rule of Law and Free Enterprise Capitalism?”

Still Report #484 - Hillary Lied About Trump Aiding ISIS
This won't make it into a movie but I recently experienced the Big Shart. The car rental company called me and asked if I could swing by and pick up a new rego sticker. Just as I was pulling into the parking spot, I unthinkingly eased out one of those awful, lingering farts that lives on the uneasy knife edge between gas and solid. I went into the office and of course the girl at the counter was young, friendly and very pretty and of course she insisted on going out to the car and installing the new sticker herself instead of just handing it to me. We went outside and she opened the door and leaned into the car and I could tell the exact moment she realized she wasn't alone in there because her knees buckled slightly and she had to use the car dash to support herself. She put the sticker on the windshield and backed out of the car much quicker than she got in, handed me the keys and gave me a death stare that I'm pretty sure didn't mean "Thanks. That was awesome." I decided not to ask if she wanted to come see a movie with me.
That was funny and well written.
Best laugh of the day right there.
So this movie is distributed by Paramount, which is a division of Viacom. Viacom is a blood-sucking media conglomerate. Kind of defeats any activist purpose this movie has, don't you think?
Nah, gotta give the sheeple something. Makes them feel a little better and also gives them a little bit of hope that things might change - which is the most important part that the corporates must engage in.
There must always be something that delivers hope. The current adults will be disappointed and the next generation gets another morsel of hope in a different wrapper. As one who has been at the receiving end of corruption by the German Kohl-Regime 20 years ago (some US involvement according to David Brooks) and seeing nothing being done I don't think there will be any change, only a cycle of morsels of hope.
this movie won't sell anything without the requisite dick, ass and pussy video time. are there people who still believe the .gov conspiracy theory about 9/11? about 3, maybe. is anything being done about it? same thing......but they hate muslims.
"dick, ass and pussy video time" lol, yep
So, we have to blame everyone else, instead of looking in the mirror and saying, "Shit, what was I thinking buying all that shit, knowing I could never pay it back?" I don't remember hearing anybody being held at gunpoint, being forced to sign all that "FREE" money shit! For Fucking God shake take some fucking "Self Responsibilty" and don't do that shit again!
Guess what, we're doing the same shit we did last decade...it'll be even worse this time.
Spock, beam me up...the human race is stuck on stupid!
Why should the debtor worry about paying back money which a banker has magic'd into existence?
Fuck them.
Why would Americans finally get pissed off now? I see NBC is running the original "The Grinch Who Stole Christmas" from 1966 complete with commercials aimed at people my age. My kids won't watch it. They did the same with Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer. Yeah, right, because you never know when your 10 year old is going to spring for the no payments for 90 days option at 7.99 OAC on a sixty thousand car that no one bought all year long. Oh, OK right. It is hard enough to keep young kids focused on anything much lesss break their concentration with car commercials, commercials for worthless diamonds and usually an insurance commercial and the obligatory "all new" series spot. No one watched the last 50 "all new TV series'" that you came out with because it is all politically correct trash. Look at the ratings. No one cares about this shit. Who do these people think they are marketing to? I won't watch it.
I have a question. I watched that Badlands show on NatGeo for the same reason I like to watch paint dry. What was the point of that show? Was that to make Texans look bad? Talk about contrived! Hollywood and the networks are dead meat. Old worn out shit with too many commercials for shit no one can afford and basically no content.

Good luck!
But I heard Ben Bernanke on National Propoganda Radio tonight sayinghow roaring the economy is?
Wish I could share this article and help save the World but my mainstream audience would object to all the four letter words and discount its authenticity. Too bad.
This movie and the lack of public outcry will only solidify the power of the Banksters.
Please let me be wrong.
Hollywood complaining abbout Wall Street is what we call people in glass houses throwing stones.
Lot of glass houses all over Wall Street, Hollywood and Washington DC. All three of them say the others did it
Jews complaining about Wall Street........................... Let's face it, Hollywood is all Jew and they greenlighted this film. They aren't worried, they are flaunting it
They will claim they were attacked by hackers to cash in on insurance payout. Just like Sony did. Start hanging these fuckers and run the camera. Corporate Insurance fraud is spinning out of control.
The movie was an excellent tutorial on what went on during those times. The celebrity explanations of complex financial transactions was truely inspired in that it broke them down to a point Everyman can understand.
In my view, we never took the medicine required to resolve the problem. That was pointed out in the 'fantasy ending' ....
So we have seen a doubling down on the corrupt system we currently enjoy. Our country is so ripe for a demagogue to come along...oh wait..he is already on the scene. And is it not appropriate that the best we can do is .... Donald Trump? Really?
Stay tuned as we drift out of the calm eye of these past few years of QE,ZIRP, and other palliatives and into the backside of this financial typhoon.
OK, then you run for president, and put up with all the s*, the trouble, hassle, character assassination, lies, half truths, with 100% of the media going against you, and the expense, lets not forget that. Ah, and let's see how well you hold up when you advocate getting rid of the fed, going to a national currency, reversing the SC decision for the rainbow club, reducing the size of the fed govt, deleting all foreign adi to israel, pulling 100% completely out of the middle east, suspending all immigration for x years, removing the American participation in the UN and kicking the UN off American soil, nationalizing the media to get it back in the control of Americans instead of the zio club, repudiating international treaties where our sovereignty has been compromised ... and that is just for starters.
Sure, yeah, run. I'll vote for you :)
PLOT SUMMARY: The average stupid muppet can't decide whether to be robbed by a banker or a politician, and a hollywood producer realized he could steal $15/seat to muddy the waters a little more.
PUBLIC OUTCOME: now that the bankers took half your money, and the politicians took the other half, stupid muppets everywhere should go take a loan out on their credit cards to buy a movie ticket so you can tell the pimple faced kid behind the movie projector how angry you are.
Bob Rubin and Bill Clinton are laughing at you so hard they can't light their cigars. Hank Paulsen and W Bush are trying to get permission from Dick Cheney to have a cigar. Geithner and Obama and madder than hell that they were only able to steal half. And Hilary is lying about all of it.
Hollywood wants to see how many muppets will put themselves even deeper into debt to get even more confused.
RECOMMENDATION: Take your $15/seat you were going to waste on the movie, pay down some of your debt. Struggling for the next five months (ha ha!) to pay off your credit cards is your own choice. DO NOT WORRY - bankers and movie moguls and politicians will think up a new way to steal from you tomorrow.
What isyour advice for deadbeats like me who have no debt save a 4.25% mortgage?
Movie looks great btw
Put the $15/seat that you want to waste on the movie into paying down pricipal, or pay down your credit card, or buy your family a really great holiday dinner.
Sending the money to millionaire Hollywood actors/producers who make more than the banker that sold you a 4.25% mortgage, seems a little, um.... muppet like
That was my point about being. A deadbeat
I have no credit card debt. I use several cards for the points and pay the balance in full
If they try to shorten my pay,ment date, I either drop the card or call and threaten to
There is a name for people like me - 850 FICO score - deadbeat
Refuse to be sucked in to their maw of debt
I bank at my hometown Montana bank. Probably the last group that will go NIRP
Fixed mortgage for the interest writeoff. That's how the luttle guy fights back
watch the movie online?
$15? Be like a banker, steal it. Plenty of torrents out there.
If what's stated is true it would be one of the few movies living up to expectations this year. But that doesn't seem to harm the box office that much. Terminator Genisys was my biggest disappointment this year. The latest Bond was OK but had expected a bit more. It also seems that Star Wars is more hype than substance. Hollywood is killing creativity by going 'on safe' with the box office relying on remakes and sequels. Hold your horses on the hateful but still enjoyable. It has a nice setting atmosphere but a bit sludgy story line. Nice to see Kurt Russell again on the white screen and somehow Samuel L. Jackson never can do any wrong to me, acting wise. Oh, and Ennio Morricone is back and that's cool. Quentin Tarantino must have really begged him on his knees to get him back.
`Start Wars' Projected to Lift U.S. Box Office Over $11 Billion http://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2015-12-23/-star-wars-projected-to-lift-u-s-box-office-over-11-billionWelcome to the World of National Socialism. There are two requirements of National Socialism, there must be cronyism and there must be a race war.
We have cronyism (watch the movie) and we have a race war against the white race which is a war against capitalism and our once republican form of government.
Shortly, in a few years, there will be a counterrevolution the likes of the Russian and French Revolutions.
Those who are going to face the "guillotine" or the firing squads, if they are lucky, are those politicians who fell prey to lobbies, banksters, and those who game the system. We could fix the issues with a significant rewrite of the Constitution but those Progressives who now control the country will not permit it. Hence the violent revolution and the mandatory deaths of those who screwed everyone.
I will not go see the movie// should I get the book??
heheheh
as a jew, let me tell you goys something..MANY jews are squeaming because the know the cats out of the bag.
but me? i can honestly say ive never been happier with the rise of anti-semitism.
tons of opportunities to profit are just around the corner!
in europe the only oppurtunity my jew-instincts are telling me is the oppurtunity of losing some teeths to muslim immigrants
great oppotunity! you dont have to visit a dentist and can save money
and being stabbed in the stomach for no reason is fun too. the appendix will be fixed in one cut
just sad my appendix was removed when i was 12 and all my teeths are still without caries
get out of europe dude, there is going to be a race war sooner than you think.
are you askenazi?? if so..shame on you. you should know better than to be around muslims and other shitskins
yes ashkenazi and its not my fault for being in europe
when i came here i was 4 years old and it was a fucking paradise
the crime rate was 0
free education, best healthcare, huge wages
you could leave yor bicycle overnight on the street in a block without tieing it up - no one ever stole something
everyone was friendly and the language was clean from swear
then they brought in the east european muslims like albanians later on iraqis, afgans, kurds and so on
back then in school basically all of my friends were beaten at least once by some immigrant muslims
i knew a 15 years old girl who was raped by 5 muslims in the school toilet - no word about it in news papers
it was a long long time ago its far way worse now
europe is lost and im planning to leave since a while i will do soon
my prediction is it will turn into something like x-thousand times worse version of yugoslavia
the white population will dimish into small minorities or replaced completely and then they will try to influence the arabs or merge with them
Why not go back to that shithole Israel and leave Europe behind? The entire ME and the world is up in smoke with Trillions of Joe sixpack's money so the 'chosen' can have their paradise. It's time to go enjoy paradise with the other tribe members.
im not from israel
if i go to israel i would lose to the owners of israel
1)israels settlers are used as useful idiots to guard the sand and stones of empty desert
2)orthodox jews and other retards out of their mind and filthy muslims in israel
3)i dont believe in god
4)i can speak 4 languages but i cant speak hebrew
5)not all jews want to live in israel i know one 33 yeas old guy came back to europe and is now working as massagist
6)im not a criminal
israel is not a paradise. its filled with 3 million russians, pollacks and economic refugees and one out of hundret israelis is an ethiopian nigger not even related to jews
Judaism is a religion. How can you consider yourself a follower of the religion that defines Jewishness and not believe in God?
Aren't the Ethiopian Jews decendants of Moses' Ethiopian wife & family that stayed behind when Moses died?
And since they believe in God and the religion Judaism aren't they more Jewish than any unbelieving 'jew'?
And Ashkenazim, which you admitted you are, are descendants of goy converts to Judaism and aren't they therefore gentile practitioners of Judaism but still not Hebrew?
ask zuckerberg he is half bulgarian and atheist and is considered as jew
practicing judaism wont make you a jew
ashkenazis have levantine genetics (even if they are strongly mixed to europeans, you still can identify a jew just by looking)
eithiopians dont they are fake converts, same for the negrianian niggers
and the khazar theory that ahkenazis are from khazars is not true either
ever notice how people are merry or happy over the dumbest stuff......................
Chris Dodd, former Congressman and who was Chairman of the Senate Banking Committee in charge of regulating banks when Wall Street was doing all the things in this movie -- is now the President of the Motion Picture Association of America.
No, that is not a joke. Not sarcasm. That is really what happened.
Does Obama get blamed for Too Big to Jail?
He gets to share in it...
If he too has to take responsibility for it...that'll be a great day.
McKay also did The Other Guys...a hilarious movie that also gets into the 08 fraud and runs an info reel at the end showing data on how we all got fucked by the bankers and govt.
I'm kinda surprised the author didn't know that. But get a laugh when you can folks...don't always be Mr Doom and put everyone down when they do what they can to get some info out.
Geesh...those people suck to be around. I know, I used to be one. Got so cynical I couldn't even let my kids enjoy what life they have a little. Lucky I got some perspective finally.
Free admission should be given to every guy/gal who beats the shit out of a Wall Streeter. Any Wall Streeter.
Even mail room flunkies. If they get beat up enough, then they will feel the urge to switch sides and start pasting the bad guys. Until those WS Assholes start fearing getting into the elevator, nothing will change.
Throw them all off buildings.
"Until those WS Assholes start fearing getting into the elevator, nothing will change."
That applies to all psychopaths not just the WS ones.
This isn't a dangerous movie for them. But they are stupid, and the final score might be players- mass death, shill- a few decapitated banksters. If you think the credit system can survive without the banking system, you're mad. There's enough capital leverage and fixed capital to outlast each of the starving countries- and starve the rest- but what will the Brics choose to do when we roll over?
I'm sure the movie is well done however I've been watching the movie fairly closely for 20 years now since NAFTA passed. Thanks to Newt and Slick willy for 'the fuckning'
I didn't read The Big Short by Michael Lewis or see the movie (want to see it badly) but I did read The Greatest Trade Ever by Gregory Zuckerman about John Paulson and a few others who made billions off the real-estate flush by purchasing the insurance against the mortgage backed securities and BOOM! Money made. Found it fascinating. And in 2006-2008 as I watched the market explode upward, living in San Francisco I was like, "How can a couple, working full-time, maintain this... buy a home at these prices and live? Everyone isn't a CEO in San Francisco or the Bay Area for that matter."
I saw the writing on the wall and knew something was going to melt long before it did. It was a surreal time.
I remember walking around with a real-estate agent looking at properties. She wanted us to put in an offer so bad. I remember her specifically saying, "You don't have enough debt! You need more debt!"
I was like... you're not the agent for us.

Another interesting thing is Hollywood's timing on releasing these kinds of things. Movies in the 40's and 50's were about uplifting America, typically anyway. This movie and the one about the Benghazi raid about to come out, to show how F'd up the WH and the State Dept. is in dealing with Benghazi... these are perfectly timed to get us all even more pissed off at the Dems.
Here comes Trump. It's for his taking. And as I predicted months ago, he will be lambasted as the next Hitler. Nationalism will rise. And we will be hammered by the world for it. It's a script for reality. And we get to watch and feel it.
Just watched the movie, really enjoyed it. They conveyed a lot of cryptic information in ways that were actually interesting and understandable to the masses, like having sexy female models, and even Selena Gomez, explain CDO's and derivatives. One reason there has not been more anger is the confusing nature of all the activity, and naming conventions, a point the movie makes.
The movie was great and didn't pull any political or banking punches, like giving prominent mention to the gratuitous open secret that all the SEC regulators just want to work at the very big banks they are supposed to be regulating, and there are no laws against that.
Well, maybe some more people will get a clue about the deceptive world of finance and the destructive nature of overly clever "financial products".
I learned my lesson from the 2008 collapse at least, switched to all cash and never any borrowing, buying the highest quality long lasting items and then using them for years. At this point my house is stuffed with quality items that are all mine, I pay no one interest except on my car, and I should pay that off this year, and I have an ample bank account, just in time for the next downturn, I wish everyone else had prepared as well as I have done. This movie will probably help more people think about things like that, at the very least the movie shows people how banking houses and so called "government regulators" are NOT the friends of the people.
Wall Street own Hollywood. If they thought The Big Short was any threat to them, it would never have been made.
You DO know it's not a documentary, right?
You left out the part about Eric Holder driving the getaway car.
re "The Big Short"
Not to be confused with the upcoming Hillary exposé: "The Big Schlong"
You will be MORE pissed by Aaron Russo's movie:. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZKeaw7HPG04
Reading the book I've created a mental image of Steve Eisman as one of the coolest guys ever.
Real life Eisman looks more like penis-head boldie.
The entire Motion Picture industry is owned by the same guys that the film is about - can't see any sense in giving them more of my money.
Give it a couple of weeks, then go to Youtube and steal a copy. I like it when the bankerfux squeal a little bit about copyrights. Right now they're losing millions and there aint shit they can do. Cover your tracks..
Forgot to mention another film about the 2008 financial shitstorm, "Assault on Wallstreet" it gets the "Danglemeat" Seal of Approval.
Remember the repeated comments about everyone being F*** stupid??
assuming that you coiuld actually short the environment, what difference would it make?
All those sciency guys running around screeming that the sky is falling, Think that they just might be correct, and that is is politicians and the fossil fuel guys who own them that are wrong?
Though now even the fossil fuel guys are coming around LONDON — Ten of the world’s big oil companies, mainly from Europe, jointly acknowledged on Friday that their industry must help address global climate change and said that they agreed with the United Nations’ goals of limiting global warming.
