Shia LaBeouf Is The Real Deal

Edmundo was kind enough to post the link to the new Money Never Sleeps trailer. Honestly, the trailer failed to get me excited and made the film seem like another steamer courtesy of Oliver Stone. Though I keep hoping the director will return to his glory days, when he made Platoon and Wall Street back to back, I think there's a greater chance of Obama giving Timmy Geithner a happy ending.

But, what should really ease the pain, I think, is the knowledge that Shia TheBeef is a doofy green screen action hero no longer -- beginning in April, when the movie is released, he will show that he is now a master thespian, who knows a thing or two about what it takes to get hired at a little place called Goldman.

Oh yes, according to USA Today (which is now just one large pie chart), Sheba arrived in Manhattan two-and-a-half months early to learn the ins and outs of proprietary trading. Obama's timing on nixing prop trading a coincidence?? Nuh uh.

"I talked to a lot of Goldman's people, and one of the requirements of getting a job takes place in the first five minutes of an interview," Sheila said. "They take you out to eat. The minute the menu hits the table, if you can't order within 30 seconds, you don't have the job."

WHOA, Sheba, WHOA girl. How long does it normally take you to order? Even if the menu is in German, Shila, you're still ordering the tube steak, leeet's be honest here. I want to know who he talked to at Goldman. Blankfein, you whore.

AND...What happens after 30 seconds of an interview at Citigroup?? I have so many questions.

What's more, Mr. TheBeef is not hesitant to brag about his new-found trading skills: "I opened up an account when I first met Oliver stone," LaBoof says. "It was $20,000. This morning, it was $297,000." Damn, this just got real. That's more than I'm worth.

According to my sources, LaBeef is also a Level 1 CFA candidate with his own E-Trade account and has Bloomberg on speed dial: "I manage my own portfolio. I check through the day, read the daily Wall Street Journal ... carry my laptop on the set, have Bloomberg on speed-dial. I now have lots of friends in lots of places.”

As Jon Lovitz, the real Master Thespian, said, "Acting!" Though I do think we have to give the guy some credit. He's clearly done, like, some research. I bet he'll open a boutique. Le Beouf Group, Ltd...?

From the picture above, it seems that traders are riding to work on mopeds wearing leather jackets...and the people complain about how they use their bonuses...?

Really, I'm just jealous that he's dating his co-star. Thoughts?

 

He never said he made that much money. Simply his account balance was $20,000 and now its $297,000. If he put his first paycheck into the account, it would beef up immediately.

However, another possibility is simply that he got ahold of some inside deals, like buying OTM Feb Toyota puts at open before recall announced on Jan 25 and selling them on Jan 28th, and then parlaying those funds into immediately into being long JALSY as it goes from $1.00 to $2.50 as it announced it might look at deals instead of prepack bankruptcy.....

Hey...it could happen...........I mean he does have an e*trade account...

 
SarahP:
Is he really dating fox?

Ha, at first I thought you meant Twentieth Century Fox, which after that trailer wouldn't be that ridiculous, no...apparently he's dating Carey Mulligan...his co-star in The Sequel.

 

Damn man, crazy return on his PA, sounds like insider trading to me, and he def learned from the best

Funny post.

And as much as I love to call this guy LaDouche or LaQuef... he's still slaying Hollywood tang... and he's in Wall Street II, which is pretty bad ass.

I would have loved to be one of the people telling him absurd fucking things about prop trading.

FYI... his returns aren't that unlikely... my 401K balance increased 33% from Dec '09 to Feb '10... watchu want!?

 

wow biggest group of ballbreakers on this board. dude gets more pussy than you and has more money than the majority of this board will ever make. but at least you guys know more about the recruiting process than him, eh?

Brett Easton Ellis dropping a sick rhyme, no surprise there. NOBODY gets more poon than that guy. Wait...

And I resent that, I like to think of myself more as a paper chaser, you feel me?

Quit sucking his dick. Just because he makes a lot of money and gets laid a lot doesn't mean he is God. That article makes me like him even less, what a little turd. I mean I bet the guy playing the guitar on the 'Freeee Credit Report Dot Com' commercials gets a lot of pussy, too. Doesn't mean he's cool.

There are plenty of great actors out there who I respect, especially after reading interviews with them. Shia is not one of them.

I'm not "sucking his dick." I'm just bringing to light how insecure most of the people on this board are. Many are a bunch of nerds who have somehow changed into "ballers" since theyre now making 100k in NYC. The fact is that if the litmus test for success is money and bitches (which undoubtedly is important to many people here) he has you beat. And please, don't act like dealmaking is that cool. No one gives a shit about it outside our small community.

To put it more succinctly: You can't knock the hustle.

Ha, wow, hadn't seen those. Bess Levin is a sassy broad. I like it. My sources are USA Today, NYPost, LATimes, and my enormous brain. Thanks for the accusation, tho. I hope someone farts on your pillow.
 

Shia LaDouche has been shouting this story from the rooftops for months leading up to the Money Never Sleeps release. I'm sorry, but I'm not buying it. The past two years have been some of the toughest market waters to navigate EVER, especially for a non-professional. To get 3000%+ returns, he would have to be luckier and better than God. The odds of an actor putting up those kind of results in 2008 and 2009 are astronomical.

shia really seems like an uneducated, dumb asshole from watching him in interviews. notice that you don't hear about people like wes anderson getting into stuff like this.

edit: what do you know... judging from his wikipedia page, he is in fact a piece of shit.

 

Also, why do people take their shirts off in street fights? I saw this countless times when I was in college. I never understood it. Maybe it reduces the ability of someone else to grab your shirt. But I think that level of thought exceeds the capability of most people in street fights.

I thought the same. You would think it would be so they dont drag the person down to the floor but you're right, I doubt they think that far ahead. Maybe its a pride thing, "look, I fight semi-naked".

Yea, they can't grab your shirt if you take it off, but the real reason is so they don't tear it. At least that's the only reason I ever took my shirt off. Although, to be fair, sometimes during the winter I'll take my shirt off when fighting. When you're so white that looking at you causes temporary blindness, that can be beneficial in a street fight. :-p
