So Galleon employees are still rolling up to the office, which makes sense given that Raj has shot down the “baseless” allegations that he did anything wrong, promised the firm that this thing is far from over, and sworn that Galleon will rise again. Nevertheless, things have slowed down a bit from the usual pace pre-shit hitting the fan, and with their resumes already updated, Team G apparently needs some new ways to pass the time.
Had drinks with a friend of mine at Galleon– they are getting paid to show up but the traders are all just watching movies at their desks. DB should send them copies of Boiler Room and Wall Street to pass the time.
We should! And we would, if we didn’t think you guys could come up with some more out of the box titles, since they’ve probably already watched the above, many times (possibly as required viewing for working at the fund). If we want to go topical there’s Shawshank, The Fugitive and Harold & Kumar Escape from Guantanamo Bay. But why go topical when they probably want to get their minds of the news off the day? In which case, its really just a matter of taste. How about the entire Made series to date, including the episode “I want to be a model,” in which the subject was told by her coach, “Girl, I’m going to eat you up on the runway,” a line oft quoted by Raj while on the desk? Figure it out by noon and we’ll messenger something over, with snacks.

when raj says “girl im going to eat you up on the runway” it’s not a euphemism. he means he’s actually going to eat a girl, legs, arms, shoes and all.

Slumdog Billionaire, but only show the scenes of the kids mother dying, his buddy getting his eyes burned out, and his brother fucking his girl. Then show a few scenes of torture and put on the soundtrack from Requiem for a Dream.

El laberinto del fauno (Pan’s Labyrinth).
Naked they actually did that to prisoners in Guantanamo, they placed a speaker next to their ear and looped a song over for 24 hours straight, George Bush devised the list. It had a couple of songs from Brittney, Eminem’s White America and some annoying ass Korean pop songs. It’s worst than waterboarding.

@83 – If we’re going the mockumentary/let’s-not-take-this-utterly-ridiculous-culture-the-least-bit-seriously genre (of which I wholly approve) we be remiss for failing to include Don’t Be a Menace to Southcentral While Drinking Your Juice in the Hood.
A worthy effort was put forth in said category by the 2002 farce Undercover Brother, however the film falls flat on it’s face thanks to ghastly performances by all of the white people in the movie (Chris Kattan, Denise Richards, Doogie Howser). Also, slightly better than substandard production values – as in actual sets and makeup – automatically disqualify it from this category.
@85 Easy! Certain people around here love NPH, believe he can do no wrong.

Harold and Kumar Escape From Guantanamo Bay would be good. Raj is like Kumar and I’m sure theres a quant around there that can fill the Harold role.
