“Don’t go expecting a movie that will give you some great intellectual or emotional insights into the Wall Street crisis. Sure, there are the obligatory “life on the trading floor” scenes and quasi-faithful recreations of arguments between Treasury and Wall Street at the oak-paneled New York Fed. And there are lots of cameos of CNBC anchors and Nouriel Roubini (as “Dr. Hashimi”) to give the movie “authenticity.” But the authenticity is as phony as Bernie Madoff’s investment returns. How many Fordham-educated prop traders with the last name “Moore” speak fluent Mandarin?” [WSJ via BI]

Your Schwartz is as big as mine. Lets see how well you handle it.
lacist plick.
seller, buyer
Something tells me that this moviegoer might want to steer clear of Manetti’s for a while lest he run into some Fordham educated prop traders that speak fluent Mandarin…
blowing, sucking
He looks like Gazoo from the Flintstones.
@11 FTW
i assumed “directed by oliver stone” was sufficiently specific
Worst casting since Danny Devito in Other People’s Money
I am too sober…
I’d rather shit a knife than watch this movie. Nouriel Roubini should make out with a chainsaw, then shut the fuck up. And Fordham sucks worse than the WNBA.
MEET ME AT MINETTA TAVERN! I’LL BE THE GUY DRINKING A CHOCOLATE MARTINI, TALKING INTO A JANET JACKSON MICROPHONE.
@12 FTW
Me Chinee
Me pray joke . . .
Blue Horseshoe loves Anicott Steel

Fordham does NOT suck! However, oak-paneled walls are still up for debate.
-Fordham MBA
@21 – in soviet russia, that joke still not funny
@18 FTW
Fordham grads don’t know preferred stock from livestock

@14 if by worst casting you mean, amazing casting. who doesn’t love a pint-size corporate raider? he gave an entire generation the confidence to stand up and shout, “I am small, weird, and subjected to ridicule, but I too can become a PE honch”
@Bess–You gave partial credit to Business Insider for this story? Gross.
Everything in finance and economics is phony! It is all full of bullshit- both in the real world and in the movies.
“‘How many Fordham-educated prop traders with the last name “Moore” speak fluent Mandarin?’” If it is true, who gives a fuck!!
@5 – examine your intelligence
Don’t look at me, Jews control the media.
@6 Schwartz is racist – examine your motives
@35 Racist – examine your bell end
Any update on Shia’s speed dial bloomberg
This is the kid, calls me 59 days in a row, wants to be a player. There ought to be a picture of you in the dictionary under persistence kid.
Blue Horseshoe hates Shia Labeouf.
Daryl Hannah was a terrible casting debacle, now Shia. Get real.
@25 I would sure steer clear of a dude who couldn’t tell common stock from livestock
-Bud Fox Cattle Fondling Associate Level IV
@14 – Darrly Hannah looks like a white Shaq coming out of the ocean – not only is she unattractive she is also a terrible actress. No way a BSD like Bud Fox would settle for her……
16 wins – game over.
@24 FTW
@44 FTW
if you had to pick one, would you say gordon gekko has a cfa or an mba?
La-Beef, now there is your quintessential thespian. He has as much range as a daisy air rifle. To match his performance in this film I think I have to go all the way back to Larry Storch in F-Troop. – Obrigado DM
@45 – Fail
