Is the same building used in the movie Wall Street.

Bud Fox (Charlie Sheen buys a condo in the building)

They flash the front of the building in the movie. Movie is on skinimax.

Thought that was interesting, now back to wasting time.

That is awful timing for that ornament!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Oh my goodness. You just have to scrap that toy without putting it on the shelves.

Put them in the same bin as you put all the hats and merchandise that say "Detroit Tigers 2006 World Series Champions" or whatever....the same place my ticket on the Tigers to win the series will go....

The woman who owned the apt. that Corey smashed into also was the woman who while at the Macys day parade a few years back was hit in the head by a street light when the wind blew one of those overhead floats into the streetlight knocking the streetlight down and hitting her in the head.

(This reported by ESPN's Valvano radio show a week or so after the crash)

No. Bluehorseshoe is right. Bluestar is the airline.


It's also the building where a Mets coach lives.




Mets' coach lived in building where Lidle crashed

By Adam Rubin

New York Daily News

(MCT)

NEW YORK - Mets third base coach Manny Acta left his upper East Side apartment at 2 p.m. on Wednesday bound for Shea. Forty-five minutes later, Cory Lidle's plane slammed into his building at 524 E. 72nd St., killing the Yankees pitcher and his flight instructor.

"This is a moment when you put life in perspective," Acta said. "There are so many other things more important than your work. I wouldn't say it's a coincidence that I live there. I just have a job, like everybody else. Whoever works at a hospital or a post office, if he lives there, he can say it's a coincidence, too. It just happened that I'm here in a spotlight with the Mets. I'm just like everybody else living in the building. I just hope everybody else is okay."

Even before the tragedy, Acta had planned to spend his final night in his apartment on Wednesday night. His family had returned to Florida, and Acta planned to spend whatever remained of the Mets' postseason in a hotel after the team returned from St. Louis.

Acta first heard about the crash when his real-estate agent called him to see if he was safe.

"The real-estate agent and the owner of the apartment building just called me to see where I was," Acta said. "I said, `I'm at work.' They had a sigh of relief, because they didn't know where I was. I asked what happened. They said what happened. My daughter called me right away, too. And my wife. The phone was ringing off the hook with my friends who know where I'm living. It's scary stuff."

Acta watched developments on TV, as did players and coaches. He lived in a different part of the building and said his apartment was undamaged.

"I found out from the phone call, and then we turned the TV on in the clubhouse," Acta said. "The original report said on 71st (St.), so I said, `Oh, I just live one street over.' And then, when they clarified everything, I found out it's exactly the street.

"At first they wouldn't say the address. And then they said 524, which is my building."

The best stock market/business movie out there (bigger than Michael J. Fox's Secrect to my Success) was Boiler Room. Ben Affleck and Vin Diesel.

All the fellas are at the boss's house watching Wall Street and quoting Michael Douglas word for word.

Nothing wrong with Daryl Hannah. Remember the Cave Clan movie?

Seen them both, Boiler Room and Wall Street. Love them both.

The "greed" speech is a classic.

"The point is, ladies and gentleman, that greed, for lack of a better word, is good. Greed is right, greed works. Greed clarifies, cuts through, and captures the essence of the evolutionary spirit. Greed, in all of its forms; greed for life, for money, for love, knowledge has marked the upward surge of mankind. And greed, you mark my words, will not only save Teldar Paper, but that other malfunctioning corporation called the USA. Thank you very much."

Love that movie.
