    Documentary Films...Too Big To Fail

    Too Big To Fail

    As a fan of good documentary films I highly recommend this
    one which premiered last night. It plays again several times
    over the Memorial Day weekend.

    Titled "Too Big To Fail" it cronicles with historical accuracy the
    behind-the-scenes activities of autumn 2008 as the financial
    system nearly went off a cliff.

    Another interesting one that is now a few years old
    but definitely worth viewing is....

    Enron: The Smartest Guys in the Room

    It still seems nearly unbelieveable that a single company could
    have the ability to completely pull the plug on the power grid of
    the entire state of California...a state that is itself the 8th largest
    economy in the world.

    Hearing actual recordings in the film of the traders laughing back
    and forth about trapping people in elevators and shutting off elderly
    people's home AC units during the extreme heat wave at the time is
    really disturbing.

    Based on the Bethany McLean book.

    As much as I SHOULD pursue being more informed on these events, I also just kinda don't want to know the gory details if you know what I mean.
