    An Interesting Movie

    Just got through watching The Big Short. I liked it. Not exactly a scintillating topic, but the movie was well done. Carrell is a good actor.

    I like it, too. I love having the celebrities pop in the explain stuff. Very creative and different. In my case it was perfectly timed as I was saying to Lucia when we watched it "I like this movie but the content is really dry and I'm pretty sure most people don't understand WTF they're talking about"
    If we all threw our problems in a pile, and you saw everyone else's problems-- you'd take yours back.

    I still haven't figured out why nobody went to jail over that whole deal.

    I saw that one in the theater and really enjoyed it as well. What, nobody went to jail?!? I'm shocked! Shocked, I tell you. Maybe that's why HRC was making all that money giving "speeches" to the Wall Street banks.

    They mainly went for cash settlements from the banks, over $100 billion I read somewhere, and of course that was paid for by the investors at those banks.

    Crime of the friggin century!
