Fellas, leave the tight pants to the ladies. If I can count the coins in your pockets you better use them to call a tailor. Stay thirsty my friends......

I can't wait to see the movie.
Natural forces of supply and demand are the best regulators on earth.
The baffling thing to me then and since is this mantra that people "didn't see it coming." I remember well how many people here in those years on these Boards were talking all about the crazy real estate bubble, the subprime mortgages, the adjustable rates, etc. etc. (Maybe some of you can exhume some of those old threads). It all seemed so obvious that we were headed toward a disaster.
It seems to me that there were three groups then: people who saw the obvious and were worried/fascinated as the precipice approached, people who saw the obvious, didn't care and made the big bux while the opportunity was there, and people who were busy with their daily lives and found the whole apparatus incomprehensible when they did fleetingly take a look at it (an incomprehensibility that was not altogether inadvertent).
What remains distressing is that no one responsible was held accountable, that the abuse has since accelerated, and that regulations and regulators have perhaps lost even more teeth.
Here's a warning parable for coin collectors...

can't wait to read cohodk's review.
Although cohodk is a fan of sci-fi, he probably won't watch the movie.

Wouldn't want you to lose touch with reality.
