The Hollywood Stock Exchange (HSX) 01/03/2006


Okay, this is really cool! The HSX is a virtual stock exchange using virtual currency to buy and sell based on the popularity of movies and stars. It's just a game, but it plays very real. They have a huge list of upcoming movies in pre-productions (JCOM included) and rising stars which you can buy "shares" in. Then, if as the movie or star becomes more popular, your virtual money increases! They start your account off with about 2 mil for free and you can buy whatever your want.

Also, the information in HSX is sometimes used by other REAL companies as a real-life predictor for movie success. People use it when making film purchasing decisions, or WHETHER OR NOT TO GO AHEAD WITH A FILM... nudge, nudge! Right now, JCOM is selling for around H$2.60 a share, then when it skyrockets in Spring (heh heh, see Movie News), you'll make a killing!

RARE DISNEY MARS & BEYOND ANIMATED SERIES

What the?!?! Yeah, that's what I said too when I saw this... this is a Banth from Disney's 1957 space series, Mars and Beyond. Click the photo above to view the clip.

This hysterically funny video mentions Barsoom in pretty good detail at around 2:44 in the timeline. Check it out!
