The real EVIL empire - ENRON I had to go see Enron: The Smartest Guys in the Room this weekend because I live in Houston where it all went down and I had to wait this long for the lines to die down. While we all contemplate how they are going to make Darth Vader in Revenge of the Sith, I got to snuggle up with some popcorn and watch how we created Ken Lay and Jeff Skilling. Let me tell you this, it was more disturbing than cutting off some guy's legs and throwing him in a lava pit! If you get a chance see the film. It's very interesting, and actually pretty well done. What Enron did to America and its own workers is wild, and it's a wake-up call that comes too late. Michael Moore should be kicking himself right now, because he has been one-upped again. Course half the fun of seeing it in Houston is all the pageantry that accompanies this film. All the theatre workers are wearing Enron shirts, there were shredded documents hanging out of every trash can, and huge banners with the old tilted "E" hanging outside the theatre. But most chilling... when you walk out of the movie and look down the street... you can see the still empty twin towers the company built right before they went bust. The Death Star never looked quite as scary! |
