Has anyone seen The Big Short? Was it worth it?

Yes, it is worth it. I haven't seen anything like it in a long time, if at all. It is a mockumentary style film, the actual "trueish" story is more a backdrop for the characters, though some of the characters are based on real people.
I LOL'd at the 2 real estate guys.

"Each of us must choose which course of action we should take: education, conventional political action, or even peaceful civil disobedience to bring about necessary changes. But let it not be said that we did nothing." - Ron Paul
"Paul said "the wave of the future" is a coalition of anti-authoritarian progressive Democrats and libertarian Republicans in Congress opposed to domestic surveillance, opposed to starting new wars and in favor of ending the so-called War on Drugs."

Yes, and yes ($5).
People were saying it was great, I guess because it showed the general population some reality.
Thanks

lol, Wall Street was completely unaware of the consequences of their actions, wink, wink. They had no idea the gov will bail them out when they drove over the cliff.
Yes.
Meh. Good for speculators for being treated well in a sense.
See; JT's review.
Depending on the knowledge you bring to it, The Big Short — as entertaining as it is — can be extremely misleading. Not wrong. Just incomplete. Anyone who tries to sell an explanation of the 2008 financial crisis that does not mention the Fed is no more trustworthy than a trader who offered to sell you an MBS at top dollar in 2007.

If no FED is mentioned, I don't think it's worth spending 2 hours on.
Greenspan and banking is mentioned quite a bit.

Not in a way allowing an average Joe to connect the dots.
Wow, thanks for the link, appreciated.

I liked it.
Isn't it funny how even within Wall Street there are people that are disgusted with it?
