Maybe Western Canadian amateurs just shouldn't do Shakespeare. Lear was also marred by the fact that the lead actor, who is quite talented, was too young for the role. I think Lear should be played by someone who looks like he's about to keel over at any moment.
I just finished watching Enron: The Smartest Guys in the Room. I'll have more to say about it later, but for now let me say: this should be required viewing for anyone involved in the corporate world. A handful of top execs have taken the rap for Enron's fall from grace, but Satan can't do jack without a horde of minions, right? The bankers, traders, and lawyers who sold their souls to this corporate cult/casino deserve a huge portion of the responsibility.
The most intriguing scene in Enron is a clip from a bizarre corporate "skit" starring Jeff Skilling, apparently mocking Enron's own practices. Who made it? What was the point?

We got Enroned at the company we worked at. We were profitable, then got bought out. Some big shot moron from a famous computer company became CEO, appointed his friends as $150k/year VPs, stole all the money out of the company by giving himself and his cronies fat bonuses, and watched the stock drop from over $100/share to under a dollar. Then him and his friends left, but not before sending our jobs to India.
The guy needs a good tar and feathering. I really wish we'd have anarchy for a week. We could get some good work done.
That's awful. As one guy said "If Enron was the Titanic, the captain and his buddies gave themselves fat bonuses before getting into the only lifeboat, then hollered up to everybody left behind that it was safe."
I don't know how those people can live with themselves!
One couldn't: Cliff Baxter shot himself.
