Movie Trailer "The Big Short"

[Joe Fan]

Looks really interesting -- I like the idea of this movie. I wonder if it shows/portrays Kyle Bass? He was all over the trading side of this. Or Barney Frank & Herb Moses?

Based on this trailer, it unfortunately does not seem they will get to the root cause - IMO the Govt is more responsible for what happened here than simply "bank greed" (which is what this film seems to be aimed at). The banks did what the Feds wanted them to do--DEMANDED that they do (threatened DOJ lawsuits if they didn't lend to subprimes)
Still, I will prolly go see it first weekend, LOL

I would feel a lot better about it if it wasn't made by the moron who did the Anchorman movies with Farrell, which are so stupid it hurts.

The book is a marvel and concentrates on the greed/stupidity of the financial industry and how one fellow with a personality disorder figured it out and made a fortune shorting the whole fiasco.

For those who have not read it I suggest running out and buying it now.
