Movie Musings From Delta House: Some things we think we think (including a new one for us: butt chugging) DTXbro Oct 05, 14:52

You're a funny guy,I like your posts, so don't take this personally, but Moviesnob Oct 05, 15:00

Are you asserting there is an answer for "Butter," "Pitch Perfect," or Sienna Miller stockjuice? DTXbro Oct 05, 15:05

I've always taken "so and so" joins the cast of… posts as "this movie is that much more likely to happen now." Zoggie Oct 05, 15:13

At least in this case, that's a whiff. Foxcatcher has been active near Pittsburgh for some time. The Sienna news adds nothing, at best.{nm} DTXbro Oct 05, 16:32

That's your opinion. SMILL joining FOXCT is news, plain and simple. {nm} Antibody Oct 05, 17:56

Opinion, agreed; but it does nothing to enhance the 'this movie will be made' quotient. Not a thing. That was the point advanced. {nm} DTXbro Oct 05, 18:07

Then don't accuse someone posting this information of manipulation. {nm} Antibody Oct 05, 18:11

you're right about people posting to move the stock, but just because you dont want to see a movie, doesnt mean theres not value to it {nm} Moviesnob Oct 05, 15:28

SMILL joining FOXCT is real news from a legit source, not non-news posted to move prices. {nm} Antibody Oct 05, 15:35

We asked why this "news" would make a movie/MovieStock more attractive, as a way of opining that no sensible person would view it that way. DTXbro Oct 05, 16:41

Perhaps the initial poster had the stock short and thought SMILL's involvement was a negative. {nm} stevie1der328 Oct 05, 17:12

Yes. And maybe the earth is precisely 9,000 years old. From a scientific perspective, it's all theory. Like gravity. DTXbro Oct 05, 18:09

The news was posted for information, not manipulation. {nm} Antibody Oct 05, 18:18

well just as a side point, gravity is a law. not a theory. {nm} NOLEAFCLOVR Oct 05, 18:32

Believe it or not, gravity is still a theory. In fact, scientists are still unsure what causes it to work. {nm} elchan Oct 05, 18:52

yes, this is true. gravity itself is a law. it. exists and effects physics. so therefore we recognize it as a law.... NOLEAFCLOVR Oct 05, 19:15

You guys really want to argue physics with the brothers of Animal House (Delta Tau Chi)? OK, here goes . . . DTXbro Oct 05, 20:17

Smart scientists, nowadays shy away from calling things "laws" any more. They are starting to understand how little we understand. {nm} elchan Oct 06, 10:17

Not following the argument here. Not everything that exists/observable are considered laws. Newton's "Law" of gravity describes the force elchan Oct 06, 10:27

This is new news. SMILL was not attached to FOXCT before today. You're just wrong. This is not even an issue. {nm} Antibody Oct 05, 17:54

Don't confuse your opinion of SMILL joining FOXCT with the fact of SMILL joining FOXCT. {nm} Antibody Oct 05, 18:03

I agree it is a fact. I opine that it is an inconsequential fact, and that it was posted to precipitate reflexive movement by lemmings.{nm} DTXbro Oct 05, 18:11

I would have posted it. This is news posted for information. How traders react has nothing to do with it. {nm} Antibody Oct 05, 18:15

Bennett Miller's CAPOT delisted at H$10. Prior to today's news, FOXCT was H$8. {nm} Antibody Oct 05, 18:32

In a word, money. IPitch Perfect had a budget of 17 million in my opinion, it will probably more than double...... EuroFund Oct 05, 15:48

And Universal's books will still show it lost money. :P {nm} DTravel Oct 05, 16:06

But not the UNIVXFund! :D {nm} UNIVXFund Oct 05, 18:19

Traders have always been predictable lemmings. They always react to news whether posted or they read it elsewhere. Catzan Oct 05, 18:25

In fact, when folks post opinions like this as opposed to news...that too can influence the market...was always a fine line I hated debating Catzan Oct 05, 18:30

Doesn't everyone who posts news about a stock, know that they will affect the direction of a stock's price? elchan Oct 05, 19:02

1) doesn't his lawyer have a proofreader? He would be "remise"?? 2) I'm pretty sure if you just posted the tag forlorne Oct 05, 19:02
