Inside Job, documentary

Inside Job is a 2010 documentary film about the late-2000s financial crisis directed by Charles H. Ferguson. The film is described by Ferguson as being about "the systemic corruption of the United States by the financial services industry and the consequences of that systemic corruption."[3] In five parts, the film explores how changes in the policy environment and banking practices helped create the financial crisis. Inside Job was well received by film critics who praised its pacing, research, and exposition of complex material.

The film was screened at the 2010 Cannes Film Festival in May and won the 2010 Academy Award for Best Documentary Feature.

I want people to watch this movie so badly, I will come back to RWED if one person watches this and posts about it.

Of course, that may have just discouraged 99% of the folks here from watching it. But my terms are negotiable. I can promise to leave forever and never ever, ever post again, if those terms are more agreeable.

ETA: I can even promise to only post statements supporting a certain ideology. :) I will auction off my future participation on RWED, or lack thereof, to the good folks who watch this movie. Thank you.

I think the whole thing falls into the "Well, duh!" category with me, kind of like Cevin Solings documentary - they come across different to someone who they're not offering anythin they didn't already know, see...

Did you see it Frem? There wasn't one thing you didn't know already in this thing?

I learned a lot of things. Like War on Kids, the film put the big picture together for me in a new way.

Wish, if it's any consolation to you, "Inside Job" is high on my list of DVDs to rent - but I haven't been to the video store in quite a while, so my list is quite long. I still haven't seen any of last year's Oscar winners, nor a single of this year's nominees!

IDK... Client # 9, a " perv " , for knockin' boots with this ?



Alright, so he paid for it. Big faux pas. But it's not that like he abused cigars ( that we know of ) or anything, did he ?

When's David Vitter going to resign for being a perv? (And a diaper-abuser. *Allegedly* )

lol. Rap has a point. Spitzer was the victim of his own inside job. I guess that term is has a double entendre I never considered before.

That's what a ship is, you know - it's not just a keel and a hull and a deck and sails, that's what a ship needs.

No.

S'funny to, cause AOL's financial practices, which I was up in arms about and nobody cared till Time-Warner took a multimillion dollar bath on em while Case and company skipped away laughing - set the stage for Enron and others.

Mind you, I was already on Enrons cause right about the time of the rolling blackouts when I stumbled across proof they were taking fully operational plants offline on purpose to cause them, and nobody listened then either...

You'd THINK, that by now folks wouldn't have such an automatic-dismissal reflex given a long history of calling it chapter and verse well in advance, even here - but they do.

Denial runs deep.
