I always thought it was tradition to have that the wrong names over the actors. No reason why, but it seems to happen all the time.

Futurist there's nothing wrong with the Hustle and MIB 3 ones since centering the main character is Poster 101.

I loved this. Hugely unique in editing and the way it tells its narrative. L. O. V. E. 

 

Also, entirely horrifying.

I assume that the US Government encouraging risky loans was a major cause of the 2008 crash, will be ignored in this film.

That would interfere with the Left Wing viewpoint it's pretty clear the filmmakers have.

[Cmasterclay]

First of all, that's a major subject of the book, so yes, I assume that it does. Also, deregulation of the banks and risky speculation was actively encouraged by Bush and the fairly conservative for a Dem Bill Clinton- not exactly a refutation of "left wing" politics. 

[Jayhawk the Hutt]

Looks like the reviews are solid. This could end up being the pleasant surprise of the year.

Clinton did most of the deregulation work, he killed the anti trusts acts of the great depression.

 

Its  because of him banks became such giants.

 

Bankers, like serial killers have no souls.

Rated R for pervasive language and some sexuality/nudity.

Michael Lewis writes about his surprise that THE BIG SHORT actually became a movie (and his general surprise that any of his books became movies), and because he's Michael Lewis, it's an entertaining read.

Talking about MONEYBALL:

Quote

The following year, as I was handing the manuscript of The Big Short to my publisher, Billy Beane called and said, “You bastard, Brad Pitt is on his way to my house. The babysitter showed up wearing a dress, and my wife is putting on makeup.”

The cast alone makes this worth seeing.  Doesn't matter what it's about.

[Hatebox]

Second trailer.

Only in the US can liberals be considered left wing.  All around the world, liberals are considered center right.  Also there is a big difference between encouraging and deregulating.

Looking forward to seeing this, both because it looks good and because I will finally stop seeing the trailer before every movie I see.

3-Day Wide OW: 16M

I planned on going to see this tomorrow but that might not be happening. I don't know why but I remember seeing this movie would be playing at my local Regal but now looking up the listening its not even playing anywhere within 40 miles of me. It irritates me to no end that my area can get a religious film that is low quality that I never even heard of but god forbid we get an Oscar contender or indie films. Now granted our theaters do get one or two of the Oscar films but that's after the nomination.

I don't understand why it happened when it was already scheduled, this close to the release date.

Probably because they needed more screens for Star Wars. Really sucks though.
