The Big Short

[kelber at mindspring.com]

It's a dumbed-down comedy version of an economic disaster that destroyed lives, which portrays a noble protagonist who feels bad (sob) as he collects the millions he made off of other people's suffering. If you think it's fucking great and deserves three Oscar nominations over, say, Beasts of No Nations ( a devastating war movie with incredible acting, direction and cinematography), well, I'm not going to argue.

Onward and upward with American cinema!
