I had gone down to Zuccotti Park to see the activist movement firsthand after getting a call from the chief executive of a major bank last week....
“Is this Occupy Wall Street thing a big deal?” the C.E.O. asked me. I didn’t have an answer. “We’re trying to figure out how much we should be worried about all of this,” he continued, clearly concerned. “Is this going to turn into a personal safety problem?”
Dutifully, Sorkin headed down to Occupy Wall Street to make sure our financial overlords are safe. There have been reports that Sorkin may have lost something during the recon mission:
God, I watched that Sorkin movie and . . . well, as a movie it was pretty good. Good story, good pacing, great acting. As a factual tale it was a piece of shit, and had me yelling at the TeeVee. I told my mother, later, that if she wanted to watch it I wanted her to watch it with me so that I could hit pause and point out all the bullshit contained in the movie and tell her what really happened.
ReplyDeleteShe's only one person, but it would at least be one less person swallowing the codswallop apologia that Sorkin cobbled together.
