FIRST TIME WATCHING: The Big Short

You now need to watch "To big to fail" on HBO. It ties perfectly to this movie but it shows the governments side of all this

Like the others, I really miss the old intro/outro, otherwise great movie and absolutely fun reaction!

You should watch Moneyball

This is a fun movie but I think the collage editing might blunt the message. An earlier movie with a similar visual style is 24 Hour Party People about the history of Factory Records it works better because it’s about the music industry. Michael Lewis who wrote the book was all in on the Sam Bankman-Fried scam which I think demonstrates how we are all vulnerable to fraud even if we understand how it works. It’s just really hard to accept that people just lie and other people just go along with liars when there’s a chance for lots of money. Generative AI is an even bigger scam than cryptocurrency was/is and none of the tech companies will own up to it. My favourite Adam McKay film is Don’t Look Up. It’s both sillier and angrier than The Big Short and Ron Perlman is in it.

I lived through this in a fairly nasty way. Bought a house for myself at the height in 2005 or so and then had to short sell it in 2008 for $50k less than I bought it. Fortunately it wasn’t one with a nasty variable rate or anything, it just didn’t make sense to hang on to it with the location and being underwater. So we sold and moved into a rental. Still haven’t bought again since then. Guess the experience kind of left a nasty taste in my pocketbook. And I honestly kind of prefer the mobility. We’ve moved 3 more times since then. Love where we are now in a totally different state.

Thank you so much for this reaction, on of my favorite movies. I gotta say I really miss having the full experience with the full intro's and outros with your reaction posted on here. This one was escpecially abrupt at the end with zero thoughts or commentary. Just my two cents.

Good reaction. Would've been kinda cool though to hear your thoughts on it after the movie. Maybe just a little bit of commentary. It ended so abruptly once the movie ended lol.

Ah, one of my favorite horror movies. Because it is damn scary.

This movie has a special meaning for me. I love the story and all the actors but it also made me incredibly angry about the system, where bunch of greedy bankers and fraudulent wall street a holes collapsed the world economy and never went to jail for that.

mmm where did the outro go? :D

"I'm jacked to the tits!" Love this movie. The style, the fourth-wall breaks, the performances (particularly Christian Bale, Steve Carell, and Ryan Gosling...but they're all pretty damn great), and the fuck you to capitalism...well, to the banks, anyway. This movie did make money, after all. Anyhoo...good shit.

lets goooo stoked to see this nat

Quite the bummer you didnt do an outro for this one, but still nice reaction.

Glad more people are watching this film, but it made my blood boil so I don't think I can watch it again so soon. The reality of this situation, and the fact that nobody important ever paid for it, just makes my cynicism skyrocket lol FYI Eat The Rich and Happy Friday!

Ryan is incredible in this. JACKED TO THE TITS!

This film just makes me mad...not the film itself just the reality of it all

Happy Feature Friday Nat. Great to see that your PC has been sorted. God Bless Tyler 😊 Haven't seen this movie before. Going to watch it over the weekend with you. Thanks for all your awesome work this week. Have a great weekend Nat 💛

Awesome! There are some great 'finance' movies out there, but probably some people don't check them out due to that description. Margin Call is another sleeper. Looking forward to watching this tonight!

Hi Nat, I'm glad that Tyler your shinning Knight came to your rescue with your PC issues, at least it wasn't Graphics card issue, I did panic a bit when my WIN+P trick seem to make it worse..🤯🤯
