Movies

That seemed interesting to me; I hadn't thought about whether how often you had movies for kids without kids.

So much of how a mass audience film functions pivots on the audience having a clear proxy / representative within the imaginary world of the film.  I never saw the TV program, so I can't say whether the films behave like little blue adults, or whether they are good proxies for kids.

Here we go: OW-gutchecks... Long the Ufo Western and the Blue Movie. Short the Stupid Comedy {nm} JMT-NL Jul 29, 07:27

I'm shorting all, but I've been lackign time to research more about the openers {nm} LogBomb Jul 29, 07:36

Tough weekend no idea what Im going to do, will look at posts for advice {nm} autobot66 Jul 29, 07:37

Short CBALN.OW and CSLOV.OW, probably short SMURF.OW as well. {nm} TheWeekendWarrior Jul 29, 07:37

Short them out... all of them. {nm} second gary Jul 29, 07:40

I guess it depends on what qualifies as "kids" movie. Tangled and How to Train your Dragon didn't have kids in them. {nm} Juiced Jul 29, 08:31

The "main cast" of HTTYD were kids or at least teenagers! {nm} AnimationFun Jul 29, 08:52

They were teenagers but not kids. I think animated movies and things with an established history, like smurfs, Juiced Jul 29, 08:54

they're missing the point; The smurfs are the kids. ( well... maybe not the smurf with the smurf ) {nm} JMT-NL Jul 29, 08:56

Short on all of them. {nm} grizzly Jul 29, 08:02

I'll nervously long SMURF and CBALN .OWs. Probably short CSLOV.OW. {nm} edzep Jul 29, 08:04

Long CBALN, Short SMURF & CSLOV ChrisEW Jul 29, 08:33

Xiajun, your take on this weekend ? {nm} JMT-NL Jul 29, 08:43

I've longed CBALN and SMURF, shorted CSLOV, but now I read about shorting all here... {nm} AnimationFun Jul 29, 08:53

Sorry, this is from me, posted with the wrong account {nm} petz Jul 29, 08:54

yep... they all seem to be shorting... Shall we follow our guts, or chicken out ? 2 hrs to go ;-) {nm} JMT-NL Jul 29, 09:00

2 hours to go? It only halts tommorow {nm} autobot66 Jul 29, 09:01

you're not playing the OW.stocks ? {nm} JMT-NL Jul 29, 09:06

no not often {nm} autobot66 Jul 29, 09:24

there's good fake money to be made there. Especially on the little blue critters ( that's my gut talking ) {nm} JMT-NL Jul 29, 09:27

Short CBALN, Long SMURF, Short CSLOV {nm} Nightfury82 Jul 29, 09:23

Shorting all 3 {nm} Dorfman Jul 29, 09:34

I switched the sf-western to a short. The Smurfs will do a chipmunk for sure ;-) {nm} JMT-NL Jul 29, 10:27

CBALN short! Other 2 are priced about right. {nm} eyescovered Jul 29, 10:52
