Just read GMan’s blog about SMB’s Batman night.\u00a0 I have to add a few thoughts.\u00a0 1) Watch Batman on an IMax screen.\u00a0 It is an incredible movie watching experience.\u00a0 If you live close to NYC or in NYC don’t just go see it on a regular screen.\u00a0 Go and find an IMax theatre.\u00a0 If you have already seen in on the dopey small screen go see it again on the IMax.\u00a0 Every action movie should be shot for the IMax.\u00a0 It makes the movie so much more enjoyable.<\/p>\n
2) I am not sure if I even want to see another movie this summer after Batman.\u00a0 For 2 1\/2 hours I sat with my mouth open in amazement.\u00a0 No literally my mouth was physically open the entire movie.\u00a0 Christopher Nolan, the director, is a genius.\u00a0 Another great movie from him.\u00a0 The acting was terrific.\u00a0 The sound.\u00a0 The visuals.\u00a0 The jumps from tall buildings.\u00a0 What a movie!<\/p>\n
3) And I am glad we as a desk got to share this experience.\u00a0 It was one of the best movies I have seen in years.\u00a0 And Patsy’s makes a great pie, or two if you are Charlie (a story for another blog).<\/p>\n
4) One of the lessons from Batman is that you make your own luck. \u00a0 For the rest of summer we as traders will be challenged to work hard.\u00a0 Are you going to watch your trading tapes, prepare in the am, sit in your trading seat, and work on getting better everyday as a trader?\u00a0 Or are you going to mail it in early on most days and succumb to the human temptation of calling it a slow summer trading day?\u00a0 Making your own luck is all about the former.<\/p>\n
I say make your own luck.\u00a0 And go see Batman on the IMax.<\/p>\n
