Can’t wait for this – great cast. Sure it will be as good or better than RECOUNT. These douches collapsed our system, hopefully this will be a worthy story to show just how evil and self-centered and corrupt they all were. They should all burn in hell, or at least our prison system for life.
“with Edward Asner”
Yep, another in Hollywood’s long tradition of level-headed, even-handed, careful analyses of historical events.
I’ll bet you the Hollywood film oligopoly (and its cash cow crown jewel, HBO) that there is zero mention of the role played by the Fed driving interest rates down near zero.
For years.
Interestingly enough, and not widely known, it was Norm Macdonald who was actually behind the push to reduce the Fed rate to near zero.
Will Ed be playing the head of Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac, the gigantic government-backed, Democratic political hack payola machines?
Too Big to Fail book is smart and riveting. The script? Not so much. The script for TBTF is heavy-handed and obvious. Oscar-winner Inside Job, Margin Call which I saw at Sundance, and even Wall Street 2 are far more interesting and get at the actual issues going on in a nuanced way. Well maybe not Wall Street 2. But this script felt like a long “ripped from the headlines” episode of Law & Order. “Recount” it is not…
Norm is awesome!!
Norm MacDonald’s show will struggle as many recent Comedy Central shows have because they are not allowing the hiring of writers. They are asking comedy writers to come in for a week and pitch ideas, then to move on after giving up their ideas.
It’s Comedy Central’s new plan to save money. It results in not very good shows.
