    It's funny to imagine that whoever's going to play Steve Carell in a future movie like 'The Big Short 2: Ignore All Previous Instructions' or something is experiencing a scene tonight where he just discovered that Amazon's investment in AI startups is through credits for their own cloud services.

    The Big Short is a great movie about how Wall Street is rigged so when the ultra-rich back bad money bets because they don't know/care what they are doing, they will be insulated from the fallout, but the depressing outcome of it is that now everyone with an eTorro account think they're these guys.

    I've been thinking a lot about the movie The Big Short lately. Or, at least it kept coming into my head out of my sub-conscious. I felt a weird kinship with the protagonist. I finally realized why late last night. I'm shorting on the entire concept of the US. 1/n www.youtube.com/watch?v=ltNv...

    How had I never heard of The Big Short (2015) until yesterday? It can't have been easy pitching a film about the details of the 2008 financial crash but I watched it this morning and it is a stunningly good film. It's on Disney+, if anybody else wants a *really* scary film for Christmas day.

    I love it when you find someplace on Google Street View that has been weirdly missed for a long time. Like, right now part of the view of Paramount Studios is from 2016, so you get signs for "Everybody Wants Some," "The Big Short," "10 Cloverfield Lane," and a Ninja Turtles movie.

    10 years since The Big Short… “Michael Lewis sits down with McKay a decade after he made the Oscar-winning movie version of The Big Short to learn about the challenges of getting the film made — and why he’s still making movies about societal collapse.” podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/a...

    I get that re: McKay! I think the mood board I have in mind for these films would be like a combo of the Big Short, Ocean’s 11, The Cohen Brothers, the Death of Stalin, The Social Network, etc. Thanks for the pope movie rec!

  • Somebody’s Auntie 🤷🏾‍♀️ @hausofbawdy.blacksky.appBluesky · Nov 12, 2025

    If you aren’t familiar with Michael Burry, the movie “The Big Short”, is based off how he predicted the Mortgage crisis of 2008 and bet against the housing market. He made $800 million. Really good movie. Scary if his prediction about AI comes true.

    I watched an interview yesterday with the guy that Steve Carell played in The Big Short, Steve Eisman. I didn’t realise that in Sept 2024, he tweeted that he was celebrating “Screams of Palestinians being burnt alive”. So now I can’t enjoy that movie anymore.

    In the movie The Big Short the big banks and the wealthiest people knew what would happen and didn’t care. They knew the government would bail them out and they would get richer. I fear we are about to start a new era of this with Trumps cabinet

    I think this movie helped me understand 08/09 much more than the Big Short did. But to be honest I’m still stuck on how buying the options on the bad debt resulted in gains. Some things I’ll never understand.

    You could set your watch by the next US financial collapse; Trump-Epstein just found a way to dump the ethics section of FNMA, and if you saw Margin Call or The Big Short, you know what’s next. 1981’s Rollover called it right; concentrated wealth = corruption 3/5. film-authority.com/2025/11/21/r...

    McKay's only good political film is The Big Short and it's because he worked with an actual screenwriter instead of just letting his gormless ranting inflate it into a feature-length twitter tirade. Collaborating with Sirota was like having two of himself write the movie

    I recently watched “Inside Job” (2010), “Margin Call” (2011) & “The Big Short” (2015) like a triple feature… Remember when they were giving away “Boiler Room” DVDs? That film suggested we watch “Wall Street” and “Glengarry Glen Ross” as companion pieces… Spring 2000 was a wild time…

    I call it "The Big Short" factor. Everyone watched the movie and is trying to be Burry. The problem: teens revenue growth, 20%+ YoY EPS growth, solid PMI data, employment data cloudy, sentiment awful. Even with the backdrop of Trump admin doing crazy stuff with Wars and Tariffs.
