confessions of a hsx addict

me: hi...my name is feefs
everyone: HI FEEFS!!!
me: and i'm a hsx addict. i've been hooked onto it for the past month. trading hsx shares as if they're real. at first it started as something to do in my free time...a way for me to keep track of the movie industry. but now...the only thing i can think of is where can i trade my shares.

yes yes...i know it sounds real geeky. it's not as extreme as you might think. i'm not exactly hooked up to the internet 24/7 trading shares. at the risk of sounding like a total nerd...i actually enjoy doing it. exploring the many options...doing research. finding out which movie does well and which movie flops. i guess it's not about making 'fake' money...it's about learning about the movies.


movies to watch:

- brokeback mountain
- munich
- memoirs of a geisha
- rent
- the producers
- jarhead
- history of violence
- good night and good luck

the list is neverending but those are some that are on the top

nominations for golden globes are out...
looks like none of the big budget mainstream movies have been nominated for best picture...
no 'war of the worlds' or 'king kong'....
i so hope johnny depp wins best actor for his role as willy wonka in charlie and the chocolate factory...
i haven't watched any of the movies nominated...
which is why i can't really chose a favourite to win in any of the categories besides best actor...
then again...charlie was the only movie i watched in best actor category so i can't actually say for sure that johnny deserves it...
but i do think he's a great actor and because of that i'm biased....

ok...enough movie talk...i get excited when i talk movies :P
