Born That Way
Driftless: Stories from Iowa
Not a lick of music till the very end. The silence, intermingled with the subjects speaking, is very effective. Of course, the imagery is just tremendous. Beautiful, something I’d love to imitate.

Frontline – Inside the Economic Meltdown
I would embed this great documentary on what went down behind the scenes in the current economic depression but the interface is so damn good that I am just going to link it.

Jim Cramer on Colber Report
I love this. Every time they cut to Cramer, puppies play in the background which causes the audience to laugh. Perfect.
Daily Show: CNBC Gives Financial Advice
Jon Stewart rips CNBC a new one. The dumbest thing I keep hearing is that the government should punish the homeowners and not the lenders.

Another excellent rendering from the New Yorker.

The Last Laugh: How the Markets Really Work
Like America, some of the greatest British journalists and analysts also happen to be comedians. Watching The Last Laugh with John Bird (in the guise of investment banker, George Parr) and John Fortune (together known as the Long Johns), the same can certainly be said in Britain as well.
This is a transcript of this insightful comedian team who brilliantly and accurately describe the mindset of the investment banking community in this satirical interview. It was especially insightful considering this was recorded last year.

Katie Couric interviews Sarah Palin: Funniest interview of the year!!
This is funnier than any SNL writer can possibly think up. The final question and answer is just one of funniest moments of this election season. When Palin tries to insult Obama by saying he blows with the wind, she licks her finger and puts it up in the air. Hahahah! She is entertaining in the way Bush was.
Update: Second part of the interview is even more absurd. I challenge anyone who thinks this person is competent enough to be the President. Longer version.
Pièces détachées
Paul (Antoine Coesens Lazaro), an obsessive casino player, finds himself with lots of debts and it is threatened with death by Benjamin Stern (Jean Claude Dauphin), his creditor. His friends now refuse to lend any money, he then decides to commit the unthinkable: sell one of its organs [...] But by committing this act against nature, Paul puts his finger in a grim spiral that takes him to the borders of madness and death.
The short movie has been written and directed by Sébastien Drouin and produced by himself and Pierre Buffin at BUF.
The film is in French language, with no subtitles!
