I dont know, but the scene in Wolf of Wall Street where he's selling worthless penny stocks to some sucker and as he describes a cutting edge, next-level aerospace company and some loser's backyard shed flashes across the screen reminded me of the securities thread here on bitcointalk.

It reminds me of the ALT coin section and mainly dogecoin.

Shouldn't this be in Proudhon's FUD thread?

This is the land of wolves now & you're not a wolf

I like the picture and chart though...it is amusing. You should put Margin Call in there

Wolf of Wall Street isn't about wall street at all. It is about drugs and sex and lots of partying.

drugs, sex, and partying are a major part of wall street

The problem with your chart is that most of those movies came after crashes. They are Hollywood reactions to market crashes.

Hollywood must be pretty prescient then, since it generally takes years for a movie to go from conception and screenwriting to release.

If I were a Hollywood producer, I'd try to have one of these films completed and ready for release at all times just to take advantage of the hype when something happens on Wall Street. That might have the side effect of making me look prescient, but it's just good marketing.

Oh no, don't tell me the TA says this film's priced in already! Cheesy
