if there was an oscar award for best first hour of a film, slumdog millionaire should win it.
lots of drum and bass and action.

not that the second half sucked. but i am trying to bridge a gap between those who say it's the best movie in the world and those who say it's severely overrated.

i really enjoyed it. and the photography was excellent, but most of all i liked the music. though i wondered where the music went for the second half of the show.

i spent this afternoon running through business cycles, all the various components (residential fixed investment, non-residential etc), filtering, detrending and then looking at the relative volatilities. i wasted a lot of time simply picking the correct datasets from the ample choice available.
