I say that because that happened in the late 90s. No one knew, for three hours, no one could trade. It was a data feed issue, a Technical Glitch which is unaccessible considering the nasdaq is technology trade. The sec is looking into the matter, nasdaq is looking into the matter.

I couldnt get over that voice. It bothered me. It is in the dark knight. [laughter]. I thought that keeton was the best batman and bail the best wayne. If they can get rid of the growling voice, i think affleck can nail it. He iss tall and can nail it. He has been directing for years. Argo. Thank you. Lets talk about the movies now. Worlds end. This is a movie you really like . I am a huge fan of dawn of the dead this is the cornetto trilogy. They are connected through ice cream.

Every one of the movies has a different flavored cornetto. I said i think everybody decertains a cornetto dropped into it. What scene is the most classic to have an ice cream dropped into it. Immediately what comes to mind was opening of raiders of the lost ark. [laughter [laughter]. What if they dropped it in and just had a cornetto. We feel like these movies are like the temple of doom.
