Did I miss the Red State conversation?

Wow. Super NSFW.

HSX tip: find next summer's blockbusters (or winter too), buy stock in the actors in it if it's low. Prime example- I bought Daniel Craig before the first Bond movie for $18/share. He's at $66/share now. As much as I can't stand Shia LaWhatever, I bought him before the Transformers and Indiana Jones movies. He was at $35/share. Now he's at $122. I bought Haley Atwell's hot ass at $15/share. After Captain America, she's at $33. An actor's current value is based on the average box office of their last five films. So someone who's been doing a bunch of blockbusters already (say... Tom Cruise) doesn't have a lot of room to grow. Emma Stone, on the other hand, is doing a Spider-Man movie and is at $43 right now... she'll do well.

Want a good first purchase if you're just now signing up? Jeremy Renner. His next five movies include Mission Impossible; a Bourne movie; The Avengers; and another Ice Age. All of those should have huge box offices takes.

As for movies, I either buy big name crap when it's waaaay off in the distance (I bought TinTin way back at $12; it's $128 now) or sequels that are almost guaranteed to get made, despite the heavy cost. I bought all the Harry Potters when they were $150/share or more, but doubled my money on all of them too. Right now, I've got Dark Knight Rises at $342 but I bought it at $175. It was a big hit to get in on it, but it's already paid off.

Saw The Tree of Life last night. Weird. There was like 20 straight minutes at one point of kind of cool but bizarre stuff that was kind of tracing the origin of the universe and life up to when a crater hit the earth and wiped out the dinos. There were dinosaurs too in that footage .. one where a bigger dinosaur stepped on the face of a smaller one. It then looked around and went running down a river ... pan out to a rock heading toward the earth. And then to the backyard where some kids were playing.

Most dijointed disconnected damn thing I have ever seen. I still don't know what I watched.

Nope. I think you can win coffee mugs and pencils that say "Hollywood Stock Exchange" on it.

So let me get this straight: If I want to create something magnificent I need to masturbate and get it on with Mila Kunis? Sounds like a win-win. I bet Macaulay Culkin is like 'Are you sure, Mr. Aronofsky?'
That movie made me too squeamish.

It was meant to say "Maclowery, and I use gmail" so that email scrapers didn't pick up on it. The website didn't really explain how to get a referral, so I thought I'd toss the email addy if that's what was necessary. I got bored waiting, so I signed up without a referral. Sounds like 25k isn't that big of a deal anyway.
