what if kim kardashian was on tv and told you about the libor scandal? and how far that birthed this idea that we re going to have pop culture icons explain this esoterica to us. consequently, you have at one point anthony bourdain tell us what these things are. it totally works. as someone who has wrestled with doing the same thing, because all of us reporting on this had the same problem, even if you re writing for a small circulation magazine, you still have to explain what it is. that works incredibly well. the other thing, sort of the final point here, the emotional life of this film is intense, particularly the steve carell performance, the kind of high note on which it ends, it s a real tour de force. how did you know steve carell could do that?
particularly the steve carell performance, the kind of high note on which it ends, it s a real tour de force. how did you know steve carell could do that? i knew he was good, we ve all seen him in f foxcatcher, we knew he was capable of transforming. i had no idea he would be that brilliant. he went like three levels above what i was hoping for. and everyone s talking about him in this movie. he s sort of the heart and mind of the audience as you watch it. it s insane. the movie is called the big short. it got me enraged all over again in the best, most cathartic way. thank you. thank you so much, chris. still to come, this celebration is not for the new star wars movie. a rocket just did something remarkable. what time is it? it s go time. come on. let s go, let s go, let s go.
we read the fine print. we read everything in the annual report. and then we talked to experts and said, you know, we can t make heads or tails of this. can you? and they said no. we talked to one of the people who actually creates accounting standards. they said do you trust bank accounting? he said absolutely not. oh, my god. andy. i read the piece last night. it s really great. a real tour de force. it is scary because when you have a bake like jpmorgan with jamie dimon, the most astute bank ceo and they have a problem with london with a huge loss like that, it truly is scary. i m wondering at the end, you sort of talk about solutions because you see this huge problem. well, what the hell can we do about it in and where do you come off on that? a lot of people want to separate trading from traditional banking. is that the solution you see? those are part of the solution. my co-author and i had sort of two solutions.
