You just missed it. It was on 10am EST. Go on HBO.com and look when it will be on again. Either watch it or record it.

"Greed, in all of its forms; greed for life, for money, for love, for knowledge has marked the upward surge of mankind. And greed, you mark my words, will not only save Teldar Paper, but that other malfunctioning corporation called the USA."
 

If you are an HBO subscriber, you can get it on hbogo. You will need to enter your user name and password for your cable provider. From there, search for too big to fail, its still on hbogo (as is all of HBO's original content)

looking for that pick-me-up to power through an all-nighter?
 

Looks good, typical of HBO Films. Not too scared to avoid following the typical liberal trend of demonizing business and conservative interests, looks amusing too.

I am permanently behind on PMs, it's not personal.
 

Makes you wonder, if these companies are really too big to fail.

At one point, perhaps. At this point, they are definitely not 'too big to dismantle'. I'm hoping that the public finds a new scapegoat for all its troubles or does something constructive....

Giamatti as Bernanke - it seems HBO cast an actor who frequently plays a skeevy bad guy. I don't like this.

No sir, I didn't like it.
Get busy living
 

Hahaha Paul Giammatti looks exactly like Bernanke.

This actually looks really good and entertaining. I love HBO and their films are always critically acclaimed ... I'ma go ahead and assume this will be too.

Cool movie but can someone explain the part where the CEO of Wells Fargo asked what would happen if they declined the capital infusion? I don't understand the threat that Paulson makes.

Paulsen made a point to sell Blair on the idea of the infusions before it began. Blair was head of the FDIC, any bank in 2008 would have failed a hard ass stress-test, case in point they wanted to make the stress tests easier so AIG/GS/MS etc could get access to the discount window. The last meeting is explained in 1.5 chapters in the book and much better with how Paulsen basically told the banks wtf to do and made it asap.

People tend to think life is a race with other people. They don't realize that every moment they spend sprinting towards the finish line is a moment they lose permanently, and a moment closer to their death.
