Big Batman Bucks

Oh man, I made so much fake money this weekend. As I've mentioned before, I play a game called Hollywood Stock Exchange. Well, this weekend Batman The Dark Knight opened, and it broke several box office records, beating Star Wars Ep. 3's one day record and Spiderman 3's weekend record (155 mil. vs Spidy's 151). In HSX land, I bought it at $222/share, going into the weekend it closed at $333 and today with the weekend records, it adjusted to $434. I maxed out my shares, now I'm rolling in the fake HSX dollars! Awesome!

That and the fact that I'm really looking forward to seeing this film, as I love Batman, and loved Batman Begins. It should be good, but I avoided it this weekend as I figured the lines would be somewhat intense.

The Chronic-WHAT-cles of Narnia

So, I play a online game called Hollywood Stock Exchange that, as the name implies, is a fake stock market related to movies, actors, etc.

The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian opened this weekend and sadly did not do nearly as well as I, or many people on the HSX board expected. I lost 1.6 million HSX dollars today. Really sucked.

Let's see how everyone else did:

I particularly like the, "This is worse than my "short 300" debacle," quote.
