Movies

Twitter is just so full of spam, sponsored tweets and pointless RTs that it's hard to take seriously. Just cause...

tom, dick and harry have a twitter discussion about how they HAVE to see a movie, it doesn't mean they are going to for sure. it doesn't count as a ticket sold. if charlie sheen says to go see PAUL and thousands of people retweet it, does it mean those thousands of people will actually see it? probably not.

Here we go .OW-gutchecks : Short the alien, Not playing the lawyer ( at this price ), Long the Hangover-guy {nm} JMT Mar 18, 04:15

Going long on Limitless & Lincoln Lawyer, short on Paul. Don't expect to make much any of these, really. {nm} Rolling_Thunder Mar 18, 04:17

Short PAUL, Long LMTLS and most likley a No Play for LNLAW (depending on where price goes) eyescovered Mar 18, 05:08

Not looking good for Paul. It had a terrible Thursday on Twitter and its buzz score was stagnant from Wed-Thursday. {nm} Rolling_Thunder Mar 18, 05:13

As I've told Horlicks, I don't think Paul is something that can be gauged using his techniques for Twitter. secretstalker Mar 18, 05:16

Paul will have a much lower ratio because of the title, but even still, its signs are weak. Scott Pilgrim had a buzz score of 16... Rolling_Thunder Mar 18, 05:31

Stalker, you be weird. {nm} lhayes37 Mar 18, 07:35

I'm still not sold on Twitter being a good predictor of movies. Especially (like SS points out) when there are common words in the title. {nm} eyescovered Mar 18, 05:23

Horlicks would be the first to tell you that tracking films with generic titles is a nightmare...'Red' was another problem one. {nm} Rolling_Thunder Mar 18, 05:34

Short PAUL, short LNLAW, long LMTLS. {nm} Skauge Mar 18, 05:17

At the moment it's short, short, short! {nm} Austinmh Mar 18, 05:33

I'm inclined to think Paul could pull in the stoner/college kid crowd. Any thoughts? {nm} Steved1998 Mar 18, 06:19

Isn't that their target audience? Why would you wanna see such a dumb looking movie unless you were high? eyescovered Mar 18, 06:25

Thats why I think it could be underestimated {nm} Steved1998 Mar 18, 06:43

The stoner/college kid crowd is usually out getting stoned and not at the movies. {nm} BionicMoron Mar 18, 06:58

After Reading Some Early Reviews..... Coachv Mar 18, 11:35

Short on Paul, Long on the other two, but it's a risky weekend I'm playing out of greed ahah {nm} krapnek Mar 18, 06:55

The only limit on Limitless is at the top, naked bongo guy is short, Paul to come up small. {nm} BionicMoron Mar 18, 07:02

It's quite simple gentlemen. SHORT them all. {nm} lhayes37 Mar 18, 07:23

OK, I'm in... Short short and, um...short. Yup, that's about right. {nm} Port Value League Admin Mar 18, 08:20

Went long on Paul, short on Lincoln, my cash wasn't Limitless so I didn't play the last one. {nm} Riggz13 Mar 18, 11:24
