Too Big To Fail

Since I am a finance major I really am interested in any sort of movie or documentary that has to do with the economic crisis.  Just recently I saw the movie Too Big Too Fail on HBO.  It's a movie about how our government handled the crisis as it was happening and the title really says it all.
The title is designed to tell you the hypocracy of the big banks in the United States.  These banks had vast amount of resources and were very wealthy.  In a very short amount of time some of these banks went bankrupt and it was the beginning of the economic disaster.
I think the name of this movie really gives an idea of how America perceives its economic system.  We really feel that we are infallible and nothing that bad will happen.  It did happen and these big banks did fail.  I think it is important to reexamine are outlook on our economic system and really start to care about how we are run.

Nintendo vs. the gaming world

Nintendo is one of the oldest names in the gaming world.  It has survived all of the other juggernauts taking it over and buying it out.  There is something to be said about the fact Nintendo is still around even with its inferior resources. 
Nintendo is very smart and very successful at designing their products for everyone.  They are extremely good about staying ahead of their competition in the innovative department and continue to succeed.  They have allowed themselves to become of the face of video games.  When you think of Nintendo the things that come to mind are Mario and the Wii.  When you think of Xbox or Playstation you tend to stay away from them because they are more for "hardcore gamers" and seem kind of lifeless and dark.  Nintendo is a remarkable company in innovation and continues to do the right things to compete

Motorcycles

Just recently my cousin bought a new Harley Davidson motorcycle.  Just trying saying the name Harley and you get the same reaction from most people.  For the most part I think of words like: big, rough, powerful.  Harley Davidson is a high quality machine but also attracts a certain type of people.  It's design has made its name just so notable for the words I just mentioned above.

The Harley Davidson may be a high quality motorcycle but there are other motorcycles that probably have the same capabilities of a Harley.  The Harley's cool design and marketing have allowed it to be what it is today.  There's something interesting about people's thoughts and ideas of Harley Davidson motorcycles.  It really gives the sense of true America or as most people see it.
