Chess Movie
I don't know why I didn't embed this earlier. It's really very good I think. I love how it shifts perspectives so frequently. Also the Hasidic guy is fantastic.
"corrupt bankers" caused the downturn. He could at least blame George Bush for taking all those bad mortgages the democrats forced Fannie Mae to create.
One comment, though. Chess is NOT the world's oldest game. It's not even close to being so. Chess dates to around 700 a.d. while Go dates back at least to 2,000 b.c.
Now we know what you sound like, Elizabeth. Looks like it will be a well-made film, like that one about Scrabble players. But what Hasidic guy are you talking about?
