ENRON-The Smartest Guys in the Room

[GCP]

You have to see this movie. I knew most of it, but I was so incensed at the sheer horrible arrogance and thievery that went on there. I was ready to throw them all in jail for ever.
Skilling and Lay are up on trial in January next year.
I hope they get life and all their assets stripped. :grr:

1. Great film. Great dissection of a corporate fraud, perfectly

mirroring the many methods of the street con.

And indicting Bushco itself as the biggest fraud in history.

[GCP]

3. Their sheer audacity was mind-blowing

I loved Barbara Boxer giving it to Skilling - you could tell she pissed him off - someone should have said it to him long ago.
And I'm glad Arthut Anderson went out of business - they let this thievery go on under their very noses and signed off on it.
It was numbing to see what they were getting away with.

2. Where Can I See This Movie?

I live in northern Wisconsin, but I have been wondering about this movie. CNN had a short story on this a while back, and whoever was talking about it said it was more damaging to bu$h and F-911. Can I buy it somewhere?

5. What's your nearest big town

I can look it up on Sherlock on my mac.

12. Wausau, Green Bay, Appleton, Milwaukee if I Have To . . .

Wausau is about a half hour from me, Green Bay about an hour, and Milwaukee, 3 hours

13. Sorry, I tried all three places

I guess it's still art house stuff.

14. Thanks For Trying : ) (nt)

8. Still on art-house tour, I think.

I imagine you'll be able to find it on DVD by the end of the year.

Their website is suh-weet!

4. Highly recommended.

Especially the Arnie/Enron meetings.

Gray Davis was set up.

[GCP]

7. Yeah, now it's coming out

Gray Davis is one of the big losers because of these motherfuckers.

6. I went to see it a couple of weeks ago

And I'm still talking about. It was very well done.

9. They may do time but if the trial goes on for awhile

and they are in prison at the end of 2008, I can totally see * giving them a pardon. After all * can't be without Kenny-Boy Lay now can he?

[question everything]

10. All I could think, when we left the theater

was that, no doubt, most of Enron employees still voted for Bush last November

11. My dad and I have a date to see that movie tomorrow while mom's away

I can't wait to see it, but I know I'll walk out of there really pissed off.
