Money doesn`t count but it makes Little Bear happy come Christmas

Never attribute to malice that which can be adequately explained by stupidity.

Best movie ever.

I have no idea how many times I've seen that movie. Sheer awesomeness. The movie really isn't about money per se.

And as Donald Trump said - "It's not about the money, it's about the deal.  I do the deal to do the deal."

I don't know how someone could quote Gordon Gecko with any seriousness given the current condition of the economy debased by men like him.

That's not to detract from a good film that illustrates the ethos of an era. I just think that character is more a warning than something to embrace.

well donald can say "its not about the money but the deal" but when people say "its not about the money" why don' they do it for the love of it for free?

the only people i'll believe that say "its not about the money" are people that do selfless acts and jobs where they are not paid, not recognized, and nobody knows what they do or even why they do it. in other words they receive no "compensation" in the traditional forms that could be exchanged or bartered for "money" in any way, such as prestige, held higher by society, power, money, influence, etc.. basically they have to literally do it annonymously for the pure love of it.. then its "not about the money"

talking about money that thread on how much simon cowell makes a year is ridiculous.

i don't think money in and of itself alone will make someone happy, aftearll if you have 1 billion dollars but are stranded on an island with nobody to talk to and no hope of getting off all the money in teh world don't mean squat,.. but what i will say is in a civilized society where money is used to buy products and services, it may not bring you happyness but at least it will make life "easier" in that hopefully you can easily afford the products and services you need to live.

'Wall Street 2': Oliver Stone, Michael Douglas to return for sequel, Shia LaBeouf in talks

The much-discussed Wall Street sequel is getting closer to launch, EW has learned. Michael Douglas will return as corporate raider Gordon Gekko, the role for which he won the 1987 Best Actor Oscar, and Oliver Stone will be back as the director of the followup to the movie that put the phrase "Greed is good" into the popular lexicon. Shia LaBeouf is in talks to play a young trader in Wall Street 2, which is set 20 years after the first installment. The film's plot will revolve around Gekko's life after he gets out of jail during the current economic climate. "I think it's time to take another hard look at trading and the economy and what went wrong in the last few years," said Douglas Monday night during the premiere of Ghosts of Girlfriends Past. "Everybody's talking about the economy and people are scrutinizing it. Whenever I mention Wall Street 2, everybody goes, 'Yeah. Interesting. I'd see that.'" Edward R. Pressman is producing the film, whose latest screenplay draft was written by Allan Loeb (21). (Additional reporting by Carrie Bell)
