Film Culture Commentary: Global Financial Apocalypse and the Movies

Well, news from the financial world lately has been grim and gloomy. I'm not ready to shriek, "WE'RE ALL GOING TO DIE!!!!" but plenty of other people seem ready, willing, and even eager to do so. Hang onto your wallets, kids, and start hoarding that ramen!

I did just find this amusing perspective, though. What can cinema tell us about global financial apocalypse? What "advice" can various films give? (Tongue-in-cheek alert, of course. I mean, come on, the post uses the actual word "apocalypse.")

I suppose we can add something from TV-land and look at "Dark Angel." Get a bicycle?
