the big short (2015)

bro, you can go to versailles in the airport. good cuban food, right there. it's literally everywhere. you can't go more than a few miles in miami without stumbling into cuban food.

this a small part of why i got so incredibly riled up watching this the other day

#the big short #hamish linklater #rafe spall #don't know if they're actually on location at miami international airport but i have spent a fair amount of time there #and they definitely used a sound from that particular airport and again i was transported back to a very unpleasant period of my life #okay so now i'm looking it up and it appears there's only the little grab and go style versailles...#i am ... 85% certain there was a full fledged restaurant in the airport at the time depicted (2007)#because i worked for a company that supported their accounting software LOL (now i'm doubting myself)#honestly this movie is incredibly good at taking an extremely complex and confusing and dry situation that led to the 2008 housing crash #and making it punchy and fun (of a sort) but still packed to the brim with actual details about how it went down #and i think by the end steve carell captured how fucking horrifyingly awful batshit enraging this whole thing was #it was soothing how mad he was lol #i was meryl streep clapping and pointing by the end. say it brother!!!#also the food and coffee is the top of the list of things i miss about miami
