Bully trailer- the film the MPAA wants to rate R much to the protest of The Weinstein Company. Whew, this looks incredible.

This is basically the Chinese Democracy of vacation movies. Marc Frydman and I went to visit our buddy Dan and his family in Sweden. We took a ton of great footage, in Stockholm, in Oslo, Copenhagen, and especially in the Fjords.
Four years later, all we have to show for it is this trailer. I am the laziest editor ever.

So what’s the big deal about June 17th, 1994? Well, it was the day that Arnold Palmer played his last round ever at the U.S. Open, the day that the World Cup opened in Chicago, the day the Rangers celebrated winning the Stanley Cup, the day the Knicks played Game Five of the NBA finals against the Houston Rockets, the day Ken Griffey Jr. tied Babe Ruth for the most home runs hit before June 30th, and—oh yeah—the day O.J. Simpson was charged with double homicide and fled through the streets of Los Angeles in a white Bronco. The Simpson story dominated the day, though the major networks and ESPN covered everything else that was going on as well, while jumping back to L.A. for frequent updates. For June 17, 1994 Morgen starts in the morning and rolls forward, showing how the various stories piled up on top of each other and even commented on each other. - Noel Murray

In 2009, as unemployment hit its highest level in seventeen years, Morgan Stanley paid its employees over fourteen billion dollars. Goldman Sachs paid out over sixteen billion. In 2010, bonuses were even higher. For decades, the American financial system was stable and safe.
But then something changed.
The financial industry turned its back on society, corrupted our political system, and plunged the world economy into crisis. At enormous cost, we’ve avoided disaster, and are recovering.
But the men and institutions that caused the crisis are still in power; and that needs to change.
They will tell us that we need them, and that what they do is too complicated for us to understand.
They will tell us it won’t happen again.
They will spend billions fighting reform.
It won’t be easy, but some things are worth fighting for.
Inside Job (PDF of screenplay) -
Bush-era Council of Economic Advisors chairman Glenn Hubbard, current Dean of the Columbia University Graduate School of Business
“The most dramatic change was a series of tax cuts, designed by Glenn Hubbard, who at the time was serving as George W. Bush’s chief economic advisor. The Bush administration sharply reduced taxes on investment gain, stock dividends and eliminated the estate tax. Most of the benefits of these tax cuts went to the wealthiest 1% of Americans. Inequality of wealth in the United States is now higher in the United States than in any other developed country. American families responded to these changes in two ways: by working longer hours and by going into debt.” - Inside Job
