twacowfca Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 Yesterday I watched the movie “Skyfall” for the first time. And I enjoyed it very much! One memorable scene comes when Emme quotes a few lines from the poem “Ulysses” by Alfred Tennyson. They are really worth repeating: Tho’ much is taken, much abides; and tho’ We are not now that strength which in old days Moved earth and heaven, that which we are, we are; One equal temper of heroic hearts, Made weak by time and fate, but strong in will To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield. giofranchi “As time goes on I get more and more convinced that the right method in investment is to put fairly large sums into enterprises which one thinks one knows something about and in the management of which one thoroughly believes. It is a mistake to think that one limits one’s risk by spreading too much between enterprises about which one knows little and has no reason for special confidence.” - John Maynard Keynes You are in good company, Giovanni. Those lines by Lord Tennyson were among Ben Graham's favorites. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jay21 Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 I didn't care too much for Skyfall. The Hobbit was probably my favorite so far, but I need to watch a lot more movies: Lincoln, Argo, Zero Dark Thirty, and probably a few others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ajc Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 Not an upvote for the movie (which I've not seen), but an article on how economics and politics helped Transformers 4 succeed at the box office. http://www.vox.com/2014/7/6/5873099/transformers-4-is-a-master-class-in-economics Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yadayada Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 It is not a movie, but everyone should watch the tv show fargo. Based on the movie Fargo. It is at least as good, and about 10 hours long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yadayada Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 i think the series can easily compete with the movie. It is kind of a sequel on the movie. But I guess if you didn't like the movie (are you even human?) then you will not like the series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
