Wap? "25 Mind-Blowing Fan Theories About Movies and TV Shows" Caution: contains a spoilery theory about Game of Thrones that is probably correct -- (link) - prayformojo May 31, 08:28 6

- That sounds like a good thing if one considers Summer flicks to be mostly brainless. -- nm - Qale May 31, 08:36 2
  - Chicks can make brainless movies too, Qale -- nm - prayformojo May 31, 10:37
  - Even then it's not good. -- nm - Beryllium May 31, 08:46
- Huh. Neither Penny Marshall or Kathryn Bigelow. -- nm - Mop on iPad Air May 31, 07:50 1
  - Wait... - Mop on iPad Air May 31, 07:54
- That's one more than I would have guessed. (Also, as she's a co-director does that count as 1, or 1/2?) -- nm - Roger More May 31, 06:55 1

    - In current HSX land, MALEF is still trading (STILL hate that new rule). The Opening Weekend Warrant (which did halt yesterday) is close. - ty97 May 31, 06:21 11
      - Why even have a halt if they're doing it on Sat.? We know the weekend numbers by the morning and people can adjust their holding. - Krusty May 31, 07:14 1
        
        Because this way traders "get it right" more foten. Good for selling us for HSX. -- nm - Spawn Lord May 31, 08:59

        And oddly going down? I guess people think the weekend IM will be bad. -- nm - ty97 May 31, 06:29 4
        
        Profit-taking. The moviestock went up ~$20 yesterday. -- nm - Roger More May 31, 06:53 3
        
        Ahh, that makes sense. Didn't realize it jumped that much. Also.. - ty97 May 31, 06:55 2
        
        Not usually, but there were some big swings yesterday - BRLNC for example. - Roger More May 31, 07:03 1
        
        Right? Someone needs to train these newbs - ty97 May 31, 07:51
      - That said, it has definitely been a long this week. Was at 138.45 on 5/25 -- nm - ty97 May 31, 06:22 1

- Thanks for the info guys. Basically going to clear out what I have and start from scratch I think... -- nm - Cuzzin Todd May 31, 08:45

Will it be cheating if I buy my summer stalker shirt on my trip? Considering it's not my local neighborhood ;) - Meg May 30, 22:25 5
- Nah... :) -- nm - kelly May 31, 05:06
- Heh ... like anyone would tell Meg she can't -- nm - JenBro May 31, 04:16 1

- you're a tumbleweed meg, where ever the wind blows is toward your home -- nm - zeitgeist May 30, 22:28
