Greed is good

20th Century Fox announced recently that they're doing a sequel of sorts to the 1987 movie, Wall Street. If Hummer has one talent and that's recylcing lines from 80's televisions shows (The Cosby Show) and Wall Street:

"Greed is Good"
"Lunch is for wimps"

Anyway, I saw the movie a few months ago with who else? Hummer. This time around there won't be Bud Fox (Charlie Sheen's character). He has one of the greatest lines ever in movie history as evident by the fact that every other Wall Street person has probably said the famous words ...

"Blue Horseshoe Loves Anacott Steel"

This time around Gordon Gecko is released from prison and working at a hedge fund. I can already guess what the name of his fictional fund will be -- Gecko Capital. It'll probably be modeled after a SAC Capital type fund where they churn through trades like no other and to make the story interesting, there's probably another protege or analyst at the fund trying to become the next Gecko. Sounds generic but it works when you add in more greed (PMs) and more sex in the back of the limo.
