Who cares about the suffering--existential, financial, or other--of those who blindly mismanaged our monies into this ever-expanding, nay, verily bottomless pit of debt? No one, but this film may help viewers understand A) the birth of current financial woes, and B) what it might have been like, in those first few hours within the confines of an early investment trading firm casualty. Fueled by a mass layoff, a thumb drive, and a rocket-scientist-cum-analyst who really understands the numbers, the last night of good times on Wall Street unfolds as rung by rung, up the executive ladder, travels news that is -- apocalyptic. For viewers who still have no idea of how 2008's meltdown happened, this film is one fiction that will make it ever so much more real

"For Nick (Jason Bateman), Kurt (Jason Sudeikis) and Dale (Charlie Day), the only thing that would make the daily grind more tolerable would be to grind their intolerable bosses into dust. Quitting is not an option, so, with the benefit of a few too many drinks and some dubious advice from a hustling ex-con, the three friends devise a convoluted and seemingly foolproof plan to rid themselves of their respective employers-- permanently. There's only one problem: even the best-laid plans are only as foolproof as the brains behind them"--Container

James Lipton hosts an evening of discussion with film and stage actor Kevin Spacey. Spacey speaks about performing in high school productions in high school in California; his studies at The Juilliard School in New York, N.Y.; and getting cast in the 1986 Broadway revival of Eugene O'Neill's Long day's journey into night, in which he worked with veteran performer Jack Lemmon. At this point Spacey, who previously performed stand-up comedy, does several impressions of famous stars. Spacey discusses landing a role in Mike Nichols' film Heartburn; returning to the theater for the 1991 Broadway production of Lost in Yonkers by Neil Simon; his role as Roger "Verbal" Kint in the motion picture version of Glengarry Glen Ross; his experience directing the motion picture Albino alligator; his role as Det. Sgt. Jack Vincennes in the motion picture L.A. confidential; his return to the Broadway stage again in the role of Hickey in the 1999 revival of O'Neill's The iceman cometh; and his role as Lester Burnham in the motion picture American beauty. The discussion is illustrated with clips from American beauty, L.A. confidential, Hurlyburly, and The iceman cometh. Spacey elaborates on his reliance on instinct and spontaneity as an actor; his incorporation of himself into the characters he plays; how he chooses a project; and acting for the stage versus film. A brief question and answer session with Spacey and the Actors Studio master's degree students concludes the program
