Rigged Ticker Review for Wednesday, December 1, 2021 -- $CNTX & $ABUS

Added on by C. Maoxian.

I held a TWTR poll for people to guess today’s rigged ticker, which I expected would be $CNTX (my choice), but my dozen followers voted for $ABUS instead, so I’ve included both.

$CNTX rotated its float (8.86MM) over 9 times on 205,000 trades

$ABUS rotated its float (80MM) over 4 times on 722,000 trades

Movies Watched -- Cutter's Way (1981)

Added on by C. Maoxian.

109 minute running time … this is trash from the early 80s starring a shirtless Jeff Bridges and his six-pack abs … it didn’t help that audio on my disc was terrible and it had no subtitles, but it was just dumb and not even worthy of a TV show let alone a movie … no idea why it was in my queue, skip it.

Mild case of nipple-itis

Movies Watched -- Read My Lips (2001)

Added on by C. Maoxian.

In French. 119 minute running time so at least 20 or 30 minutes too long … story was kind of dumb, but this was a Jacques Audiard movie (I loved Un Prophete) so it wasn’t terrible, but just too long and ultimately no good … the girl isn’t plain, she’s attractive despite her fish mouth, and of course she isn’t fat because she’s French … they call it a “Hitchcockian thriller,” which is laughable (you know, Rear Window) … give it a miss unless you’re interested in early Audiard, which is why I watched it….

I was deaf. Now I'm kind of deaf.

Movies Watched - Written on the Wind (1956)

Added on by C. Maoxian.

99 minute running time … more Sirk, on a real Sirk kick following All That Heaven Allows (Which Ain’t Much) … this one starred Rock Hudson and Lauren Bacall with her sexy smoker’s voice, in Technicolor! Another love triangle involving a Texas oil heir/playboy, Loren and Rock … mostly interesting as a window into the culture of mid-1950s America, but I can’t recommend it, though Farr did. Movies that end with a courtroom scene are almost always lame….

You know, good ol' days, when a fellow knew nothing and cared less.

Movies Watched -- Summer Storm (1944)

Added on by C. Maoxian.

108 minute running time … early Sirk … love triangle based in post-Revolution Russia (1919), a Chekhov story, I guess… Linda Darnell was a great beauty (she had some Cherokee blood) ... George Sanders with his snotty British accent .. it’s not a terrible movie, but it doesn’t get a recommendation, unless you’re a Sirk completist.

Why is it you degrade everything you touch?

Movies Watched -- Tyrannosaur (2011)

Added on by C. Maoxian.

92 minute running time, so the right length, but my disc didn’t have subtitles and this was a British yob picture so subtitles are absolutely necessary because you can’t understand a word anyone says … it ended up being a gift since I could then 8x ffwd through and damn if this didn’t look depressing … angry, drunken, violent, bitter idiots, pitbulls, beaten wives, innocent stepchildren caught in the crossfire … just awful, terrible stuff … who the hell would voluntarily watch this? I’m sure Olivia Colman’s performance was excellent, but I couldn’t bear to watch it. Full red, avoid.

It’s not your fault, buddy.

Rigged Ticker Review for Friday, November 26, 2021 -- $BFRI
