It’s one thing to produce a film that induces feelings of suicide in the audience, what with its 17 different plots lines and Gucci loafers, all the while exposing your childlike comprehension of the machinations of Wall Street but when you insult the looks of Lloyd Blankfein, you go too far.
“[Josh Brolin's character] Bretton James is based a bit on Robert Rubin, who’s really enriched himself. I think he’s the richest ex-Secretary of the Treasury ever. There’s also a bit of Jamie Dimon in him. And if Lloyd Blankfein were handsomer, you could say he’s Josh Brolin. [Bloomberg]
Telling people how you really feel is the new killin’ it.

Algae-sucking bottom feeder. This drivel isn’t fit to be shown to anyone with a measurable number of working brain cells.

I’ve always thought Lloyd Blankfein was gorgeous.
Demonizing the free market (that allowed you to make some horrible films and made you filthy rich) is the NKI!
I hugged Lloyd one time.

My favorite part of the trailer is when ole Gecks looks like LaBeef and quoteth the great James Cramer with his line about bulls, bears and pigs. That scene alone is all I need to know not to watch this film.
In other news, anyone see Carney on Kudlow last night? Boy does he have a face for the blogosphere. Is CNBC not doing testing before they hire? The guy looked like a stroke victim with only part of his mouth able to voice his high-pitched squeal
This Stone guy has stones, real stones.
Even with all of our collective rampant cynicism, like it or not, you know we will all watch this film…and make Mr. Oliver some duckets in the process.
I would only watch a bootlegged copy, just to deny Olly those duckets…
I found this film to be a hard-hitting, in-depth expose on the true seedy underbelly of the very nature of Wall Street. The complexity and interconnectivity of the multiple plot lines added to the film’s extraordinary depth and richness.
Five stars!
P.S. As an added bonus, I liked the characters’ shoes.
During his youth Oliver Stone’s mother jerked him off. Why else would he cast Angelina Jolie as Alexander’s mother?
“[Josh Brolin's character] Bretton James is based a bit on Robert Rubin, who’s really enriched himself. I think he’s the richest ex-Secretary of the Treasury ever.”
Totally wrong. Andrew Mellon (he was Treasury secretary for 11 years) was worth $300 mil in 1930. That’s about $3.3 billion today.
Goes without saying that this movie looks wretched. Like “hunchback of Notre Dame gargoyling” wretched.
OK, maybe a little harsh, but definitely unwatchable.
Who the fuck is this autobot?
Making your living out of biting the hand that feeds you is, in itself, a valuable skill.
i liked Even Stevens better

Stone: I talked to a lot of young kids about Shia LaBeouf’s age and they said it was shocking. They’d just gotten out of business school, and three years later they’re sitting in the middle of the biggest crash in our history.
For them, it was like a wake-up call, like a baptism by fire in Vietnam.
Yeah right – a modern day Vietnam with a $5 happy ending. Get your head out of your ass Stone.
Or getting bailed out, low interest loans, and a third party preventing cascading defaults that would impact your business, and then biting that hand for insufficiently kissing your rear while wiping it, and then getting annoyed when a director does fiction about your flaws, is the new killing it.
Putting aside Stone’s ‘latest’ retread
AS figures for ‘peacetime’ genocide in Hollywood’s ‘fave’
mass market slum ACROSS the Pacific now swell beyond
80 MILLION —decades AFTER WW2
AND AS even Bill Gates himself is soft-selling NOT ONLY
‘selective’ extermination of the unborn —BUT ALSO the old
and ‘unfit’ in the name of ‘efficiency’
—’daring outspoken maverick’ Oliver has maintained
STONE COLD SILENCE…

This is pretty true though, also wordpress can provide you with tools to generate a incredibly decent site devoid of having any coding knowledge by any means.
