hay just watched margin call thx 4 the recommend dudes p sweet - have to take issue w/the irons opinons itt - i dont think that he turned out to be a huge disappointment or appropriately idiotic or w/e - he was roughly as smart as everyone else which is to say smart but falible in the way humans are - if there was any sort of super human legend of his genius implied then of course he as human is not going to live up to it - i thought his character/acting was really good, cause what he had that no one else did, what you often see at the top of the totem pole is an element of inscrutability - that can sometimes be read as concealing ineptitude or shallowness, but the point is you can never quite tell, its an aspect of power - thought everyone else was good too, zachary quiznoses eyebrows were sculpted to a legit distracting extent tho

youre going to fire me later arent you*non committal grunt*this is all i ever wanted to doreally?
― Cooper Chucklebutt, Friday, 30 December 2011 04:15 (twelve years ago) link
i thought margin call was ok but it had problems, yeah
stanley tucci and kevin spacey were playing kinda the same character? and tucci seemed more interesting to me.
the frantic overnight investigation/preparation is done w/o any mention of government at all.
burying his dog was a lame scene, but the bit with spacey in the exec cafeteria, totally defeating, knowing he's chained to a rotting ship, was great

i saw the fincher 'dragon tattoo' which was not that great the more i think about it. it has an unbelievable 90s cgi bondage music video credit sequence that had me cracking up hard

someone says that they are doing this before the fed(s) can react and try to slow them

yup by noon the feds are gonna be all over our asses slowing us down

lol i guess i meant the bailouts that actually occurred
― slandblox goole, Friday, 30 December 2011 17:16 (twelve years ago) link
yeah i think thats the next step if their plan doesnt work, they werent even thinking that far out
― Cooper Chucklebutt, Friday, 30 December 2011 17:17 (twelve years ago) link
and obvs none of them want that as they were more in the bear/lehman mold of being hours from insolvency ie they were not gonna get bailed out, best they could hope for is their company gets bought for cents on the dollar w/the help of govt guarantees

btw re lamps comments abt physical space, when they were talking abt 'floors' were they talking abt trading floors, floors of a building, or BOTH
― Cooper Chucklebutt, Friday, 30 December 2011 17:22 (twelve years ago) link
yeah
loved demi moore btw
xp i kinda took it that 'floor' is sort of an abstract area almost? like 'world' or something. idk.
― slandblox goole, Friday, 30 December 2011 17:23 (twelve years ago) link
flooring me w/ these insights dudes
― Hongro4AS (nakhchivan), Friday, 30 December 2011 17:29 (twelve years ago) link
p sure they were talking abt trading floors but they did use elevators a lot too so idk
― Cooper Chucklebutt, Friday, 30 December 2011 17:32 (twelve years ago) link
i guess there was a bit of a disconnect w/ the sudden firing preceding sthing which was otherwise indicated as a great revelation
― Hongro4AS (nakhchivan), Friday, 30 December 2011 17:32 (twelve years ago) link
yeah they never explained the opening masacre, guessing prob the company realized it wasnt in the greatest spot but more based on the general economy, then the big reveal was that they were in a terrible spot based on what they were doing particularly
― Cooper Chucklebutt, Friday, 30 December 2011 17:35 (twelve years ago) link
yeah i suppose getting rid of risk management ppl in particular was supposed to convey 'institutional denial'
― Hongro4AS (nakhchivan), Friday, 30 December 2011 17:36 (twelve years ago) link
yeah good call
― Cooper Chucklebutt, Friday, 30 December 2011 17:37 (twelve years ago) link
this is a good film and movies movies movies movies readers who haven't been cajoled into seeing it by peer pressure alone, shd be mindful of seeing it just because it is a good film

― tanuki, Saturday, 31 December 2011 03:48 (twelve years ago) link
I watched it again a few days ago. I think it's officially my gf's favorite movie at this point.
― iatee, Saturday, 31 December 2011 03:57 (twelve years ago) link
I feel like it's probably one of the few movies that would be a deal-breaker for me trusting someone else's taste if they didn't like it.
― tanuki, Saturday, 31 December 2011 04:23 (twelve years ago) link

im on a shitty for typing ipad atm so I can't really do it justice but in short the negative Christian vibes brought me down, I complained extensively abt it on the big board fwiw, also I love both his 70s movies, recent work I have more reservations abt

I was probably a bit too unequivocal earlier. I just found it extremely moving — painfully so.

playing pervy killer ned flanders in The Lovely Bones
― Dr Morbius, Saturday, 31 December 2011 15:17 (twelve years ago) link
i was way into tree of life. it really annoyed me that people in the cinema started whining about how long it was as soon as the credits started to roll. like the running time is on the poster.
― judith, Saturday, 31 December 2011 16:07 (twelve years ago) link
I have watched all of the Rogers & Hammerstein musicals too many times, but I will queue up Pajama Game, Band Wagon, and Gigi
― remy bean in exile, Saturday, 31 December 2011 16:33 (twelve years ago) link
haha its hard for me to believe "stanley tucci as perverted serial killer ned flanders" is bad but im never going to watch the lovely bones so ill take your word for it

I'd rather wear Tucci's tie for the rest of my life than watch TLB again.
