A few more fun movie facts...

Well, the Oscars certainly didn't set any ratings records, but they were more popular with TV audiences than most experts thought they would be this year.

In light of that, how about a few more "fun facts" I bet you didn't know about the movies? (Again, from the book "Who Knew?" by David Hoffmann).

Here we go...

"From Russia With Love" was chosen as the second James Bond novel to be adapted as a film after President John Kennedy listed it as one of his ten favorite books of all time.

In "The Graduate", the parts of Benjamin Braddock and Mrs. Robinson were originally offered to Robert Redford and Doris Day.

The title role in "Beetlejuice" was written for Sammy Davis Jr.

All the still photos of Forrest Gump picture him with his eyes closed.

According to the film's animators, you'll see 6,469,952 black spots every time you watch "101 Dalmations".

Oscar winner Tommy Lee Jones was the college roommate (Harvard, class of 1969) of former Vice President Al Gore.

The signature line drawing of Alfred Hitchcock was drawn by Alfred Hitchcock.

A recording of a camel's moan was slowed down and used as the sound of the tornado in "Twister".

Well, that's it for "Fun Movie Facts". Hope you enjoyed them.

The DJIA would again certainly win no Oscar, but perhaps a "Golden Turkey" award for the way it's been acting lately. Another 250 point drop today. Where's the bottom? No one knows, since the "magic" 7,500 support level is now history, but we're coming up to the month of March, when the market usually turns back around.

We'll see if that happens this year.

Anyway, I've found a stock that's so oversold it could more than double and just be back at its 50-day Exponential Moving Average. It was up over 40% today on huge volume, so the bounce may have begun. I'll name it for my Premium Members.
