Today’s first movie is A Pixar Story about the beginnings of Pixar. The movie is set up as an underdog story, but it is hard for me to agree that a bunch of rich folks who went and got their PhDs and built a company is an underdog. They set it up like, “We didn’t know what we were going to do, but then Steve Jobs came in with a $10,000,000 investment”. Seriously, you make movies not cancer drugs. It’s an interesting movie about how a group of folks working together can achieve amazing things. It drags on a bit though, learn to edit people!
Second today is the Oprah acclaimed doc Babies. I have heard many many good things about it, so let’s do this! So glad I sit in an enclosed cube where no one can see me. There is some nakedness in this movie. Not a ton, but a little. The differences in how we raise babies is amazing. The African woman’s kid shit, she wiped it on her knee, then wiped it off her knee with a corn cob. Thank you America for wet wipes. This movie is beautiful, but I would just again like to point out that FILMS NEED NARRATION!!! So to sum up this movie, it needs a narrator and I think the mothers that sterilize everything should watch this and get over it.
The Smartest Guys in the Room, Enron fun! Man, these guys should rot in hell. This movie is a little long, but it is so packed with information about how these people made decisions to screw people over and over. The Pixar movie talked a lot about how they worked to keep a great working environment, and the Enron people would fire 15% of their staff every year. Crazy. It seems like you can trace the beginning of the economic fall to them…at least the fall in California.
