White House on GM’s Chapter 11 Filing

Posted on by
Here is a release from the White House on GM’s Chapter 11 filing as reported by the Washington Post. According to the release, today is just another day at the office. It is all in the “ordinary course”. Read it by clicking here.
 
And now GM will only have to sell 10 million cars per year to break even instead of 16 million cars per year. I don’t know about you BUT that sounds like a lot of cars that have to be sold annually just to break even.
 
Do you think GM will sell 35,000 to 40,000 cars today? That is what they have to do every single work day – including Saturdays – to break even!

Finally – A Good Film This Summer

My family and I went to see The Brothers Bloom on Sunday. It was well-written, well-directed but, most importantly, well acted.
 
Nothing was as it seems and the story of who is conning who may be an old theme but this film had many new twists. It was artsy but mainstream. It had great production and art direction and it felt classic even though it was produced in a very modern fashion.
 
I liked the film very much. It made you think about who was zooming who. It also dissected relationships in a very interesting way. The actors were superb and I have become a big Adrien Brody fan of late. Go check this one out. You will enjoy it. It is a grown up film.
