When we first filmed the e55 I was amazed by the raw power felt both riding passenger, and from outside the car filming from a distance. This vehicle has so much torque, getting the back end to come around is a breeze. No one does it better than Dieter. The e55 stock is pretty fast, but an e55 with RennTech programming and a ton of other goodies, it becomes a literal monster. I hope you enjoy riding shot gun with him for the next 2 minutes!!!!!
the lipstick building where Madoff's 17th floor operation was run.
his view. what a G
.
his jet. now this is a private aircraft.
moments after admitting to the courts, the scale of his scheme.
So I find myself researching more information about Madoff. For those of you who don't know who Bernard Madoff is, he is the man responsible for the worlds largest Ponzi Scheme ever. He personally orchestrated a 50 billion dollar scheme that resulted in his demise this past november. He now faces 150 years in prison, but his sentence will be given in June. First of all if you havn't seen the senator Ackerman clip on CNN or C-SPAN, it will change your life (shown Below).
But I do side with Ackerman on this deal; what the hell is the SEC's function if large unmasked amounts of money were able to be deposited directly into Bernard Madoff's Chase Manhattan Checking account without needing to be accounted for? The jury is still out on that one, but It heightens the intrigue a little bit, when you really study Madoff. He lived the most ridiculous life anyone could possibly imagine. He had to have known that he was going down but he didn't give a rat's ass. He had houses all over the world, Yachts, planes, the best of everything. But every dog has his day. And the dog in this case is certainly Bernard Madoff. I do have to tip my hat to the old bastard for pulling off the most famous scheme of all time. Like Lou Mannheim, from the classic film "Wall Street" said, "Kid, you're on a roll. Enjoy it while it lasts, 'cause it never does." I guess Madoff gambled hard and lost hard. Could I be obsessed with Bernie?
Film school, then the school of life. I wake up sometimes still woozy and possibly under the influence of something potentially mind altering. Maybe in my bed, maybe not. I think that is the moment when I feel like a conscious 22 year old kid. Like a normal person who has experienced almost a quarter of a century. The rest of my life is lived in front of a computer either editing or emailing, In meetings or ichat conferences, storyboard sessions or ADR design. And if I have to fly on a red-eye coach flight to NYC one more time I may boycott the airline business. The days where we go shoot on location are the most exciting and enjoyable, but I am hippocratic however based off the following; I feel that life is being lived by too few. And that life to most people is what they do between 9-5. I don't buy it. So what I'm trying to do is figure out the balance between taking over the world and living in the world. I love to shock people, but I love to inform people more. Its a new era we are living in. It's 2009 its time to act like it. Buy an iPhone.
