The Wolf of Wall Street
59 comments:
I'm going to fucking see this on Xmas day in the morning. And I better make goddamn sure that day doesn't have the infamous incident that I endured last year during Django Unchained where the projector shut down during the film's third act.
ReplyDeleteMaaaaaaan, I can't wait to see this - on opening day, no less! (been such a long time since I've managed to do that) I'm happy to see that Margot Robbie is doing well, I remember watching her on this Australian soap called Neighbours (most Australian actors come from there), it's so weird to see her up with the big guns here! But seriously awesome, she was one of my favourites on that show. I can't wait to see how Leonardo DiCaprio fares in this one!
ReplyDeleteI probably won't have time to actually sit down and watch this until the new year, but I eagerly await that viewing. I've been waiting for nearly a decade for Scorsese to run on all cylinders again and, from all appearances, this looks like his true return.
Call me crazy, which people often do, but his Oscar-bait films from the last decade were mostly bloated and incoherent messes. The Departed and Hugo were high-points, but not when compared to his earlier work.RepliesI don't think you're crazy... I actually think that's quite fair. Gangs of New York is solid because of DDL, but I don't enjoy too much of the film beyond his performance. The Aviator is impressive in scope, but I haven't watched it since it first came out on DVD. Shutter Island I simply didn't like... so, yeah, The Departed and Hugo were great, and Wolf is incredible. Definitely not as good as his earlier work... but are any movies?
Can't wait to see this! Love Scorsese and I loved the 80s....such an incredible time of excess, insanity and greed. Remarkably I mean all of that in a good way.....one big party and people were honest about their vanity. Scorsese is a genius at conveying the true feeling of the time and DiCaprio is becoming so adept in these roles...get me to the theatre!
ReplyDeletePardon my language but I'm so ready to see the partyshit hit the fan with this movie. It's been a while to see a really wild movie, and this feels like exactly what I need. Nice review! :)
ReplyDeleteThis movie is the best party binger of the year. Everyone calls American Hustle a "fun" movie, but that title belongs to Wolf. Aside from being flashy and showy with the partying, drugs and women, it's well-executed with a tremendous cast (including the unfamiliar Margot Robbie!!). I heavily judge anyone who doesn't enjoy this film.
ReplyDeleteI feel like I have been waiting for this movie for my whole life! No but really I have been on imdb for the past 4 hours or so since I left the comments going back & forth between the WOWS & American Hustle. I feel like American Hustle was received better by some campaigning ? But The Wolf of Wall Street may be the type of movie that isn't understood in its entirety for years. They will be watching this in film classes. Scorsese has a lot to say & he is going to have me questioning my career choices/life decisions. I'm so excited.
ReplyDeleteNot to mention it is already very polarizing, & some critics have focused on it glorifying depravity. I CAN'T WAIT!! :)
ReplyDeleteAwesome review! I was skeptical at first but now I'm so curious about the movie - I'm a big fan of Leo, Jonah and Dujardin so at the very least I'm sure I'll enjoy their performances.
ReplyDeleteJust got back from seeing this one and I really enjoyed it. I would say I'd put it on par with my enjoyment of American Hustle (which is by no means a bad thing in my book). I think most of the performances are great, no one directs like Scorsese, and the story itself is really good I just thought that it was a bit too long. I have a problem with most films that top the two hour mark (Goodfellas managed to do it without a hitch but this one isn't at that same level in my book). Funny as well - though probably too black for most of the audience I was with, I really got a kick out of the excesses the characters went through.
Also - Mmmm mmmm mmmm mmm m m mm mmmm oh (repeat)Brilliant review! I LOVED every minute of this film. DiCaprio was flawless, and the rest of the cast was great too. Right now, it's my favorite film of the year.
I really hope it can sneak into a few categories at the Oscars. What does DiCaprio have to do at this point?!RepliesAwesome, loved that you loved it. We agree all the way here. My dad has a theory about Leo and the Oscar: the Paul Newman curse. Good looking guy who has seemingly everything, so people don't give him (or guys like him) acting Oscars. So maybe Leo will win one when he's 60 or something haha. But yeah, dude rocked this movie, no question.
DeleteI'd like to see it again, but I've put it back at #2 behind Gravity for now. Newman is a good example, but he at least received a lot of nominations. DiCaprio is still stuck at 3. :/
DeleteVery true. Hey, who's your pick for Best Actor this year? I'm really hoping for an Ejiofor win.
DeleteMy pick was Ejiofor until I saw Mikkelsen, and it was Mikkelsen until I saw DiCaprio. I'm probably sticking with DiCaprio. 2013 was just too great. There are so many snubs on my ballot it's ridiculous.

Top 20: http://letterboxd.com/classicblanca/list/top-20-favorite-films-of-2013/Nice picks. But those are who you want to win, right? Not who you think will win. Either way... this is going to be a damn tough year to handicap.
Also, I need to track down The Selfish Giant.Thanks. Do you mean Ejiofor, Mikkelsen and DiCaprio? If so, I'd be thrilled for any of them, but Ejiofor clearly has the best shot.
I think you'd like The Selfish Giant. It's a British film that's made in the style of directors like Ken Loach, Andrea Arnold, Shane Meadows and the Dardennes. It's on iTunes and AIV by the way. Let me know if you get a chance to see it.I really hope it's Ejiofor. I'd actually be really happy if that happens. Will hunt down The Selfish Giant ASAP. Sounds great.
Saw this yesterday and loved it!
I understand where some of the critiques are coming from with regard to the female characters, but I believe such issues are par for the course when it comes to films about insular, male-dominated professions. Even so, that "last time" scene with Margot Robbie brings a complexity to their sexual relationship that few films are capable of. Both wives are willing to overlook aspects of Belfort's personality and profession either for love or money. They end up leaving him for very different (and complicated) reasons.
The other big talking point--that Scorsese "glorifies" his subject--just seems dumb given all the evidence to the contrary.
My only criticism is that the film could have benefited from just a little more trimming, such as the scene between Azoff and Brad the courier. On the whole, though, it made for a brisk three hours. One of the best films of the year.RepliesI agree with everything you said here and love this comment. It's funny, I didn't think the film was slow at all, but I did feel like some scenes ran longer than they needed. In particular the parking lot confrontation you mentioned. Once Hill started in with the "I think you like me" bit, I thought, Okay I get it. Move on.
But still, a very minor qualm. I loved the film as a whole and am very glad you did too.I get what they were doing with that scene--taking care of a plot point while underlining (and highlighting and bolding) the gay subtext--but it really wasn't necessary. With even another week or editing time before release, I have a feeling Scorsese and Schoonmaker would've turned in an even tighter version. It is a minor quibble.
And if anyone's going to accuse of a film of glorifying its subject, that film should be The Bling Ring. Saw it on DVD last night and, boy, was it a slog. Mostly fine acting, one bravura scene (the Patridge theft) but no real reason for its existence. The documentary in the bonus features was more entertaining than the actual film. Bleh.
Happy New Year's!I kind of felt the same way about The Bling Ring when I first saw it, but I actually liked it more upon a rewatch. Still, I get everything you're saying. And I'm glad you liked the Patridge theft scene, a definite highlight.
I haven't seen that documentary but I did watch the entire reality series of the real person Watson was based on. Bad show, but insanely entertaining. Those people were just... wow.Coppola's austere treatment felt out of sync with the salaciousness of the story. Something like this calls out for the kind of satire Scorsese peddled this year, I think, not the by-the-numbers drama I sat through. And some of Coppola's changes feel like she's protecting these kids. (For instance, the male lead was apparently a lot more flamboyantly gay and street wise in real life.) An admirable stance, perhaps, but that's not the job of a filmmaker.
And then there's this little revelation: The reason Watson's character and several others got off with no or very light punishment? One of the investigators worked as a consultant on Coppola's film without his superiors' approval. (He even has a cameo in the film.) Seriously, the documentary about the film was far more interesting to me than the film itself.
This is not to say The Bling Ring doesn't have brilliant elements (for me: the Patridge scene, the sound design, Watson and Chang's performances). They're just wrapped up in a mediocre package whose twisting of real life events brings up a lot of interesting questions about Coppola's motives.Okay so I need to see this doc ASAP. It's definitely Coppola's most... dangerous film, if that's the right word. Very interesting how that one split audiences so sharply.
DeleteDon't want to oversell the doc, but it shed light on aspects of the story the film seemed to shy away from/gloss over.
The film itself certainly seemed to rub me the wrong way. I wouldn't call it dangerous at all. For me, it's something akin to an upmarket Lifetime movie.Still definitely going to check it out though. It was on the regular DVD right?
Sorry, on this one I think you got it wrong. I didn't keep the numbers exactly but here is an estimate. Number of times Leo's character takes drugs on screen, 18, number of times uncomfortable sex scenes are inserted, 12, number of times Jordan gets on a microphone to talk to the troops, 6 or so. Number of times we are subjected to the subject of Jonah Hill's junk, 2 (and one was too many). Number of times I got up to use the restroom and had not missed anything about the story twice, that's because the same thing happened over and over again. It was a mess and I thought it was a fairly weak mess at that.
ReplyDeleteOh Jeez Alex, I did not mean it to sound like I was bashing. If the tone here is unpleasant I apologize and you should feel free to remove my comment. I was just trying to contrast my reasons with your enthusiasm. I guess the term wrong implies I think I am right. Everybody sees thing differently and maybe I was just gruff because I was so personally let down by the movie. I can see that the countdown reference could also be seen as an attack. Again, not intended. If I stepped on anyone else toes in the manner in which I expressed myself, please forgive. I enjoy reading all the opinions, especially the ones that i don't see eye to eye with.
ReplyDeleteRepliesHey man, it's all good. Like I said, I genuinely like your site and our opinions as well, you're comment just seemed HEATED, which I thought was odd. Your criticism for the film is, of course, valid (and one shared by a lot of people right now). Honestly, it really shows the type of good person you are to come back and comment again. I really appreciate that. Have a good new year man.
Really solid review here Alex. The Wolf of Wall Street might be the second best film of the year (12 Years being number one). DiCaprio is flawless, he does the highs and the lows with the utmost care and resolve. I've always been fond of his work with Scorsese, especially his Howard Hughes in The Aviator, but man, his Belfort is really something. Not since The King of Comedy have we seen this level of social commentary from Scorsese, scenes evocative of Goodfellas and Casino alike, a sexual hunger akin to his After Hours. I've always seen Raging Bull as the Martin Scorsese perfect storm, focused collaboration across the board (De Niro, Pesci, Schoonmaker, Schrader and Mardik Martin, a perfect score punctuating every vital moment. I mean it's a fucking dream team.) but Wolf made me feel the same way. It made me feel like I was watching Scorsese in top form. The day before I went to see Wolf I had doubt's.
I had doubt's about Marty.
Hugo was a lovely film and Shutter Island was chilling at times albeit sloppy, but I felt he was without cinematic voice. He had said the things he had to say. He made Taxi Driver, Raging Bull, The King of Comedy, Goodfellas, The Departed and many more in between...
He's done, he's phoning it in. I doubted Martin Scorsese as the man who inspired me to make a name in film. And then I found myself watching this masterful film, three hours that just fucking disappear...so high octane. A powerful closing shot. A great title card. Great fucking acting all across the goddamned board. Beni-fucking-Hana.
I remembered watching Taxi Driver for the first time at midnight, Raging Bull at 6 AM and Good fellas at 2. I remembered why he's the fucking best.RepliesHell yeah man, this comment fucking rocks. I'll be honest, I had doubts about the film too. It just looked too... much. But he totally nailed it. Now, obviously many people disagree with us, and fair enough, but I definitely thought this was Scorsese's best examination of social commentary since The King of Comedy as well. Great call there. Actually, I read an interview with DiCaprio the other day and he said he thought Wolf felt a lot like King of Comedy. You gotta love Scorsese at his best.
Love what you wrote here and couldn't agree more! The film is completely insane but never out of control, which is one hell a feat. And DiCaprio, unbelievable! The Quaaludes? I felt like I was watching some old hollywood master of physical comedy, he was SO good. There were so many things going through my mind while watching this movie, yet I couldn't think for too long because I could never. stop. laughing. It's such a rush.
ReplyDeleteIt's pure brilliance. The purpose of a film is to be entertaining is it not? This was by far the most entertaining and funny film I've seen in many years! I plan to view it several more times.
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry to say this, but your review isn't that good. It feels too short like the film itself.

Diabetes Treatment Directory
Treating Type 1 diabetes -- or insulin-dependant diabetes -- is a lifelong process that includes regular monitoring of glucose levels and insulin injections to maintain regular blood sugar levels. Type 2 diabetes -- non-insulin-dependant diabetes -- can often be controlled by diet and exercise alone, though insulin and medications may also be used to regluate blood sugar. Follow the links below to find WebMD's comprehensive coverage about how diabetes is treated, what drugs are available, what new treatments are in development, and much more.

Yangcheng Hu Things to Do
Yangcheng late is about 1 hour from Shanghai in tha vacinity of Kunshan and Suzhou. You can find a hundred restaurants serving the best Hairy Crab, Yengcheng Lake Crab. I tried it, but I find I like sea crabs better. Here are some photos of the area around the lake that were taken in January.

In the fall, Yancheng Lake and Bacheng is the center of the Hairy crab industry. It is said that the best hairy crab comes from this lake. I tried it and I find salt water crab is much better and larger. But for those of you that like the local crabs, I posted some pictures for you.

Syncing files, calendars, contacts and music between devices is a bitch. When connecting a lot of consumer-grade services to each other but I mostly end up generating duplicates whether it's duplicate calendar entries, contacts or the mother of all duplicate problems: music. This drives me crazy because the whole point of sync software is to have single versions of the most current versions of your files.

Mac users for some time had to get a little creative when syncing information to and from their BlackBerrys. Today, we'll have a look at how to get creative with your tasks and sync them with your BlackBerry.
Since the inclusion of "system-wide to-dos" within Mac OSX 10.5 (known as Leopard), developers of to-do applications received a new set of API's to work with, and unknowingly simplified a BlackBerry user's life. Developers of such apps include an iCal Sync feature which allows a sort of information highway between their task management application, iCal, Mail and other 3rd party apps that include that same feature.
Here is a little guide I've made, to get you started:
Continue reading '[Video] Creative Task Sync Between Mac OSX Leopard and BlackBerry'
Tungle just announced BlackBerry integration aimed to ease meeting schedules, and already plays nice with Outlook, Lotus, iCal, Google Calendar and other platforms. Requests are simply sent via e-mail, and confirmations made through your BlackBerry's browser. This sounds like a decent solution for us poor souls without an Exchange server, or if you've got a bunch of different platforms running that need to work together. You can head on over here to give it a shot, just keep in mind that it's still in beta.

Kanye West Spazzes Out at Paparazzi After Banging His Head on Metal Sign
Kanye West went bonkers on the paparazzi today (May 10) after he banged his head on a metal parking sign outside of a Los Angeles eatery.
Kanye West went bonkers on the paparazzi today (May 10) after he banged his head on a metal parking sign outside of a Los Angeles eatery.
Ray J, the sometime singer/Brandy's brother/that guy who made a sex tape with Kim Kardashian now has a music video out to accompany his newest single 'I Hit It First.'
And to further prove that his song is definitely not about Kim Kardashian (even though it totally is), he cast her doppelganger in the video. Logic!
If you are feeling disillusioned with notions of romance, look no further than Kanye West and Kim Kardashian - even though they barely see each other.
From our "Completely Unnecessary But Totally Hilarious" file is Ray J's new diss track single 'I Hit It First,' which celebrates his claim to fame. The singer is the first dude to be with Kim Kardashian (on camera, at least) and thereby helped create her cult of personality, thanks to the sex tape the two made. No one knew who she was before that. So we have him to blame for the countless reality shows. In the song, he also takes shots at Kanye West, the father of Double K's unborn baby.
Kanye West is no stranger to controversy, but his rumored sixth album title might top even Mr. West. According to the BBC News, Ye's next album may be called 'I Am God.'
Kanye West and Kim Kardashian may have even egos bigger than the latter's derriere, but that doesn't mean they don't have senses of humor about themselves.
Case in point? The rumored name of their Kimye spawn ... which we're hoping to God (more on that in a second) is a joke.
Even though their heavily televised marriage lasted a mere 72 days, Kim Kardashian swore under oath in a nine hour deposition that she did, in fact, love Kris Humphries.
Kris Humphries is currently in the midst of suing estranged wife Kim Kardashian, claiming their marriage was fraudulent so he can get an annulment rather than a divorce -- which would nullify the non-disclosure agreement he signed before they tied the knot.
Unfortunately for him, a deposition may have revealed that he was in on the fraud all along, re-shooting a scene of him proposing to Kim for 'Keeping Up With the Kardashians.' But those same legal docs reveal Kim might have also faked a lot of scenes on her own that made Humphries look bad.
Kim Kardashian needs to take it easy if she wants to keep her Kanye West spawn alive and well.
The mogul and reality staple recently had a miscarriage scare, and her docs are pointing the latex-gloved finger at her hectic schedule and workouts as the biggest risks to her pregnancy.
All eyes were on Kanye West and Kim Kardashian as they made their debut Sunday (March 3) at Givenchy's fall 2013 fashion show during Paris Fashion week.

The 'Harry Potter' author will pen a series of new movies set in Harry's universe, beginning with 'Fantastic Beasts And Where To Find Them.'
Harry Potter lives on! (Sort of.) Warner Bros. Pictures announced Sept. 12 that it will be teaming up with author J.K. Rowling for a series of Harry Potter-inspired movies, based on a textbook referenced in the first Potter novel, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone. The first installment, Fantastic Beasts And Where To Find Them, won't star Harry (Daniel Radcliffe) — but it will feature at least one character familiar to loyal readers of J.K.'s original novels.
Newt Scamander, the author of Fantastic Beasts, has plans to appear in the film, which J.K. says will take place 70 years before the events of Sorcerer's Stone. That being the case, J.K. insists that the Fantastic Beasts series is not technically a prequel to the Harry Potter movies, but rather a separate collection of movies that happen to exist within the same universe.
'Fantastic Beasts': J.K. Rowling's Official Statement
The author herself released an additional statement, explaining more about what we can expect from Fantastic Beasts. Here's the whole shebang:
It all started when Warner Bros. came to me with the suggestion of turning 'Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them' into a film. I thought it was a fun idea, but the idea of seeing Newt Scamander, the supposed author of 'Fantastic Beasts,' realized by another writer was difficult. Having lived for so long in my fictional universe, I feel very protective of it and I already knew a lot about Newt. As hard-core Harry Potter fans will know, I liked him so much that I even married his grandson, Rolf, to one of my favourite characters from the Harry Potter series, Luna Lovegood.
As I considered Warners' proposal, an idea took shape that I couldn't dislodge. That is how I ended up pitching my own idea for a film to Warner Bros.
Although it will be set in the worldwide community of witches and wizards where I was so happy for seventeen years, 'Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them' is neither a prequel nor a sequel to the Harry Potter series, but an extension of the wizarding world. The laws and customs of the hidden magical society will be familiar to anyone who has read the Harry Potter books or seen the films, but Newt's story will start in New York, seventy years before Harry's gets underway.
I particularly want to thank Kevin Tsujihara of Warner Bros. for his support in this project, which would not have happened without him. I always said that I would only revisit the wizarding world if I had an idea that I was really excited about and this is it.
But wait, there's more! In addition to the new movie series, Warner Bros. Pictures' new partnership with J.K. will also lead to the expansion of the Wizarding World of Harry Potter at Universal Parks and Resorts, as well as a new series of video games across all major platforms.

As funny as these improvised solutions may be to watch,
none of them are terribly safe. Many of the organizations purchases new computers or any
other kind of goods, which comes in the packing boxes after the installation those boxes are dumped anywhere, so such kind of boxes are ideal
for packing. Make sure that the box can handle everything
that you will.
Once you grab their attention with good sales techniques, you should be able to turn prospects into clients.
Wanting to get rich will provide you with motivation, while certain tips,
such as what you've just read, will lead you to the right
path. The above three core competencies can help you differentiate between the companies that are mediocre
and the ones that are genuinely good.
Unquestionably consider that that you said. Your favourite justification seemed
to be on the web the simplest thing to consider of.
I say to you, I certainly get irked even as other
people think about concerns that they plainly don't know about.
You controlled to hit the nail upon the highest and outlined out the entire thing with no need side effect , folks can take a signal.
Will probably be again to get more. Thank you

JERUSALEM, Israel -- The Egyptian government says it's considering targeted attacks on the terror infrastructure in the Gaza Strip.
The announcement comes on the heels of another shooting attack against Egyptian troops Thursday morning that wounded three soldiers.
Foreign Minister Nabil Fahmy said Egypt is considering a military response against Gaza-based terror cells initiating the attacks, the Palestinian Authority's official Ma'an news agency reported.
According to the report, Egyptian reconnaissance aircraft photographed sites near Rafah and Khan Younis for possible airstrikes and "all options are still open to Egypt."
Egyptian military officials say half the attacks against its security forces originate in the Sinai and half in the Gaza Strip, specifically naming Hamas and Ansar al-Sunna terror groups in Gaza.
In his weekly commentary, Dr. Aaron Lerner, director of the Independent Media Review and Analysis (IMRA), said Egypt's threats are not "a matter of Egyptian altruism."
"The Gaza Strip is a primary source of forces and support for those engaged now in a bloody struggle against Egypt in the Sinai," Lerner wrote.
But its proximity to Israeli civilians and military bases means the Israel Defense Forces must keep close tabs on Gaza and the Sinai.
The 1979 peace treaty between Israel and Egypt stipulates that the Sinai Peninsula be a military free zone. While former President Hosni Mubarak didn't take enough initiative against terror cells in the Sinai, the situation grew much more critical under Islamist President Mohammed Morsi.
Following Morsi's ouster, Israel agreed to allow Egypt to deploy troops to the Sinai to curb the terror activity there. That includes sealing off the arms smuggling tunnels between Gaza and the Sinai and tracking down terror cells in the vast stretches of desert.
Meanwhile, the IDF must ensure that Egypt doesn't compromise Israel's security.

ECE research on medical devices and systems is multidisciplinary, leveraging faculty member expertise encompassing all areas of electrical and computer engineering. Our faculty are developing medical devices for diagnosis of cancers, diagnosis of chronic and infectious diseases, anatomical and clinical pathology using imaging algorithms and systems, minimally invasive and robotic surgery, and remote medicine employing wireless sensor network solutions. The faculty have active collaborations and extensive networks with the biomedical community, leveraging UCSD's world class medical school and the nation's most active biotech industry in San Diego. By teaming with doctors and clinicians, we have been successful in translational research, rapidly moving research results from the laboratories to the clinics.
Having medical devices and systems as a major new theme in the department's roadmap, ECE at UCSD shares the vision of providing effective and affordable health care services to all.

Stephen King: Central banks have the power to avert another catastrophic depression
Tuesday 25 March 2008
One American bank failure and, apparently, we have proof that market economies just don't work. The move towards ever more deregulation is leading us all into another depression. Greedy capitalists, left to their own devices, will suck the blood out of our economies, leaving the rest of us to suffer ongoing economic hardship.
At least, I think that's the argument. It is, of course, total nonsense. Markets are, for the most part, desirable because they respond to our individual wishes. They are, after all, the mechanisms which allow you to buy your Fairtrade coffee in the morning and which enable you to get your hands on the latest Harry Potter on the stroke of midnight. The alternative is to queue up outside GUM for hours on end in the middle of a frozen Moscow winter circa 1975. The invisible hand takes some beating.
The greatest success of markets in recent years, though, is not so much the efficient distribution of the collected works of JK Rowling but surely the increased integration into the world economy of impoverished nations which now appear to be on the road to prosperity. China may not be a market economy, but it's a lot closer to being one now than it was at the time of the Cultural Revolution and, as a result, a lot better off. India has hugely benefited from the technology revolution which has given Indian workers opportunities that might only have been dreamt about twenty or thirty years ago.
State planning may have its supporters but, these days, most of them have surely lost touch with reality. We now know that Stalin's Soviet Union, lauded by many as a credible alternative to capitalism, was built on not much more than terror and slavery. That, I think, is not a credible option. Equally, China's Great Leap Forward under Mao in the 1950s offered an alternative vision – a blast furnace in every garden – but it's not one that most of us would cherish.
The issue, then, is not so much that market-based economies are failures – the evidence suggests clearly that they're not – but, rather, that individual markets occasionally fail. Typically, these failures lead to demands for more regulation. However, while market failures do take place in deregulated "Anglo-Saxon" market economies, they also occur in highly regulated economies. Japan suffered one of the most momentous market failures of the last sixty years following its post-bubble collapse at the beginning of the 1990s, yet was never a shining example of a deregulated market economy. America's housing market is up to its eyeballs in regulation and tacit government support, yet has still managed to collapse after the earlier boom.
Although the world economy has lurched from one financial crisis to the next, these crises need to be seen in the overall context of rising living standards, lower inflation and, over time, smaller oscillations in economic growth. For many countries, these improvements have led to lower and more stable unemployment, a prize not to be sniffed at.
Market failures cannot, however, be treated lightly. They lead to indiscriminate gains and losses. Failures make some people rich and others poor. They can also deliver tremendous instability, economically and politically. The biggest fear of all, though, is that market failures can lead to social catastrophes on the scale of the Great Depression.
Anyone who's read The Grapes of Wrath, John Steinbeck's harrowing account of the 1930s, will know that the Great Depression was extraordinarily destructive. Ultimately, the Depressionwasn't a story about banks, manufacturers and others gong bust, even though many of them did. Instead, the Depression was a story of immense human hardship. The Roaring Twenties were followed by an economic apocalypse. At the beginning of the 1930s, US economic output fell by a total of around 30 per cent, a collapse on a scale nowadays difficult to comprehend. Unemployment soared, reaching an extraordinary 25 per cent of the workforce at its peak in 1933.
Could we be on the verge of another Great Depression? The current situation offers some similarities, notably the idea of market failure. Basic economics textbooks typically assume that markets are efficient, in the sense that they allocate resources in ways that cannot make anyone better off without making someone else worse off. Markets, though, sometimes get things wrong or, even worse, stop functioning altogether. The job of policymakers is to resolve these difficulties where and when they occur. Arguably, the refusal of policymakers to step in following the 1929 Wall Street Crash contributed to the depression which followed. They spent too much time worrying about the evils of capitalism and not enough time thinking about market failure.
John Maynard Keynes' The General Theory of Employment, Interest and Money offers a treatise on market failure. He understood better than most that, on rare occasions, economies could settle down in steady states associated with massive and persistent unemployment.
Unfortunately, Keynes came from the Delphic school of writing, leaving others to misinterpret his ideas to suit their own agendas. In a nutshell, though, his view was that labour and product markets were sometimes unable to co-ordinate in ways which would deliver full employment. Companies wouldn't hire the workers who, ultimately, might provide the demand for the companies' products. Workers would save rather than spend because they feared they might lose their jobs. All in all, there would be a shortage of effective demand.
Keynes' market failure, then, was an economy-wide problem which could be dealt with through, for example, looser fiscal policy. Since then, though, the literature on market failures has grown rapidly to include the remarkable insights of George Akerlof, Michael Spence and Joseph Stiglitz, among others.
Given, then, that we know more about market failures than before, we can afford to be optimistic that we're not facing another Great Depression. Rumours over the weekend that central banks are considering the possibility of buying mortgage-backed securities from the private sector are encouraging in this regard.
There are those who will regard actions of this kind as no more than a bailout of the already filthy rich, but their views completely miss the point. The failure of the mortgage-backed securities market threatens all of us. If banks are unable to raise funds, they won't be able to lend to the likes of you and me. If the market deems mortgage-backed securities worthless, there'll be big holes in pension provision. If banks refuse to lend to each other, fearful of hidden bad debts within the system (whether or not those bad debts actually exist), more and more institutions are in danger of going under. Using taxpayers' money to put a floor under the mortgage-backed securities market is, in effect, a way of bringing the market to its senses again.
There are, though, two problems with the market failure approach. First, those with a pathological dislike of markets will happily put the issue of market failure to one side and, instead, argue that all market systems are bad. For those who've forgotten, it's worth noting that Keynes' views were hijacked by the proponents of big government. They thought his views justified ever bigger budget deficits. Oddly enough, this error was partly Keynes' own doing. He should have called his "General Theory" a "Specific Theory", designed to deal with the rare occasions when markets do, indeed, fail.
Second, although market failures happen in both directions, policymakers typically only step in when there's too much fear, and not when there's too much greed. Market failures are symmetrical. Our policymakers' responses, too often, are not. When we've pulled ourselves out of this latest crisis, much more thought will have to be given to why markets fail on the upside. After all, busts only occur following earlier unsustainable booms.

By the river's dark, I wandered on
I lived my life in Babylon
And I did forget my holy song
And I had no strength in Babylon
By the river's dark, where I could not see
Who was waiting there, who was hunting me?
And he cut my lip and he cut my heart
So I could not drink from the river dark
And he covered me and I saw within
My lawless heart and my wedding ring
I did not know and I could not see
Who was waiting there, who was hunting me?
By the river's dark, I panicked on
I belonged at last to Babylon
Then he struck my heart with a deadly force
And he said, "This heart, it is not yours"
And he gave the wind, my wedding ring
And he circled us with everything
By the river's dark in a wounded dawn
I live my life in Babylon
Though I take my song from a withered limb
Both song and tree they sing for him
Be the truth unsaid and the blessing gone
If I forget my Babylon
I did not know and I could not see
Who was waiting there, who was hunting me?
By the river's dark where it all goes on
By the river's dark in Babylon

CMS has posted a new technology assessment for implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (ICDs) addressing the evidence for use of ICDs for "primary prevention" of sudden cardiac death (SCD)—prevention of SCD in patients who have not yet experienced a sustained ventricular tachyarrhythmia, but who have risk factors for it. The researchers at Tufts Evidence-based Practice Center, working under contract to the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ), examined data from MEDLINE and the Cochrane Central Trials Registry to investigate three key questions:
According to the report, strong evidence supports the effectiveness of ICD therapy for primary prevention of SCD, versus no ICD therapy, to reduce all-cause mortality and SCD in patients with reduced left ventricular ejection fraction and ischemic or nonischemic cardiomyopathy beyond the immediate post-MI or coronary revascularization periods. Researchers found that for every 6.2 to 22 ICDs implanted (depending on the study), 1 death was prevented within 3 to 7 years (again, depending on the study). Between 2 to 3 and 11 ICDs were needed to prevent one arrhythmic death.
Researchers did not find statistically significant differences for all-cause mortality or SCD across subgroups by age, sex, and other patient characteristics. The report suggests, however, that ICDs may be more effective for patients with more distant coronary revascularization as compared with recent surgery. In contrast to studies of patients with more distant MIs, studies of patients with recent MIs (within 31 or 40 days) showed no reduction in all-cause mortality.
Researchers concluded that there is insufficient evidence regarding the relative effect on all-cause mortality among patients who receive CRT-D compared to those who receive ICD alone.
According to the report, in-hospital adverse events are infrequent, with approximately 3 percent of ICD patients experiencing an early adverse event and approximately 1 percent experiencing a serious early adverse event. Evidence suggests that up to one-fifth of ICD patients (3 to 21 percent) receive an inappropriate shock from the ICD during the first 1 to 5 years.
A copy of the report is available from the CMS website by clicking here.

Utah Jazz rookie Gordon Hayward is working hard to prove he can play in NBA
Earlier in the year, there was some talk that the Jazz might start Hayward at the big-guard position, and he has made a handful of starts in place of Raja Bell when Bell was injured.
For the most part, however, Hayward only gets in games sparingly and was even on the inactive list for a game last week, although in his last outing he helped the Jazz in a fourth-quarter comeback win at Minnesota. It's been that kind of rollercoaster ride so far for Hayward.
"It's hard. My expectation was to get out on the court, but I realize it's going to take time and there's a lot of time to learn," he says. "I try to be ready to go out there and play when (Sloan) calls my name and play as hard as I can and when I'm on the bench to try to learn from all of the veterans on the team. (Sloan) is obviously a phenomenal coach so I just try to soak up as much as I can because there's so much to learn."
Even though Hayward hasn't played very many minutes so far this year and hasn't produced much in the games he has played, Sloan sees a bright future for his rookie.
"He's doing very well," Sloan said. "We just need to get him some playing time. He's made a lot of progress from when he's started. His inexperience gets him in trouble sometimes, but I think he's going to be just fine He's a young guy who has a lot of athletic ability. He's a guy who's going to be a good player in this league."
His college coach, Stevens, says he tries not to think about what would have been if Hayward had stayed with the Bulldogs this year, but he has little doubt about Hayward's future.
"He's obviously got a great basketball IQ. He's a guy that wants to get better and a guy that will work to get better and is in a great situation where he can grow and develop in a class organization," Stevens said. "I see nothing but a bright future ahead. Gordon is that he cares about one thing — winning. And his team is still winning."
Hayward says he has never been to Hawaii and would have loved to enjoy the sunshine this past week with his teammates, who advanced to the finals of the tournament with wins over Utah and Florida State.
He said he planned to text his old teammates to see how Hawaii was.
But Hayward isn't concerned that he's missing out on a trip of a lifetime.
"It would have been fun to be able to spend time with my teammates," he said. "But with the kind of position I'm in now, I mean, I can probably go whenever I want in the offseason."
That's what a $5 million contract will do for a person.
Then Hayward laughs and says, "Maybe we'll all go and make it a trip sometime."
The Hawaii trip notwithstanding, Hayward has no regrets about his decision to turn professional.
"As far as the decision, I'm happy with what I did," he said. "There are times when I feel, it would be fun to go back and play with those guys again. But you have to move on and put both feet forward."

Don't Sell Cheniere Energy at Its All-Time High, Just Wait for It
The company has already started construction work at the first four trains at Sabine Pass. For Corpus Christi, Cheniere is signing contracts as it waits for the regulatory approval.
Ideally, Cheniere expects the first two trains at Sabine Pass to begin operations next year, which will be followed by the start up of train-3 and train-4 in 2016. The final two trains at Sabine Pass, train-5 and train-6, as well as train-1 at Corpus Christi, will start working from as early as 2018.
Since Cheniere's core projects are still under development, the company has not shown its true potential. Over the last year, the company has earned less than $70 million in quarterly revenues and has consistently reported operating losses. This, however, can change next year when it begins commercial operations at Sabine Pass.
The company has been looking to secure financing for Corpus Christi and for this, it needs buyers, like Woodside, who are willing to sign long-term supply contracts.
Earlier in June, Cheniere signed a 20-year deal with Spain's Gas Natural Fenosa to supply1.5 million tons of gas per year from the train-2 at Corpus Christi. Cheniere's deal with Gas Natural Fenosa is reportedly valued at $13 billion. The Fenosa agreement was announced just a couple of days after the Cheniere signed a $5.6 billion, 20-year deal with Spanish power company Iberdrola (IBDRY) for the supply of 400,000 and 800,000 tons per year of LNG from train-1 and train-2 respectively from Corpus Christi. Several other companies, such as Exxon Mobil (XOM), Kinder Morgan (KMI) Kinder Morgan Energy Partners (KMP) and Dominion Resources (D), are also planning to construct LNG export terminals. However, it will be several years before any of their proposed projects can begin commercial operations. At the time of publication, the author held no positions in any of the stocks mentioned. This article represents the opinion of a contributor and not necessarily that of TheStreet or its editorial staff. TheStreet Ratings team rates CHENIERE ENERGY INC as a Hold with a ratings score of C. TheStreet Ratings Team has this to say about their recommendation:"We rate CHENIERE ENERGY INC (LNG) a HOLD. The primary factors that have impacted our rating are mixed ? some indicating strength, some showing weaknesses, with little evidence to justify the expectation of either a positive or negative performance for this stock relative to most other stocks. The company's strengths can be seen in multiple areas, such as its revenue growth, solid stock price performance and increase in net income. However, as a counter to these strengths, we also find weaknesses including disappointing return on equity, weak operating cash flow and generally higher debt management risk."
Highlights from the analysis by TheStreet Ratings Team goes as follows:
- LNG's revenue growth has slightly outpaced the industry average of 3.2%. Since the same quarter one year prior, revenues slightly increased by 2.5%. This growth in revenue appears to have trickled down to the company's bottom line, improving the earnings per share.
- Investors have apparently begun to recognize positive factors similar to those we have mentioned in this report, including earnings growth. This has helped drive up the company's shares by a sharp 144.97% over the past year, a rise that has exceeded that of the S&P 500 Index. Regarding the stock's future course, our hold rating indicates that we do not recommend additional investment in this stock despite its gains in the past year.
- CHENIERE ENERGY INC has improved earnings per share by 18.5% in the most recent quarter compared to the same quarter a year ago. This company has reported somewhat volatile earnings recently. But, we feel it is poised for EPS growth in the coming year. During the past fiscal year, CHENIERE ENERGY INC reported poor results of -$2.32 versus -$1.82 in the prior year. This year, the market expects an improvement in earnings (-$1.22 versus -$2.32).
- Return on equity has greatly decreased when compared to its ROE from the same quarter one year prior. This is a signal of major weakness within the corporation. Compared to other companies in the Oil, Gas & Consumable Fuels industry and the overall market, CHENIERE ENERGY INC's return on equity significantly trails that of both the industry average and the S&P 500.
- Net operating cash flow has decreased to -$18.22 million or 37.82% when compared to the same quarter last year. In addition, when comparing to the industry average, the firm's growth rate is much lower.
