  Poseidon

Poseidon corresponds with Neptune and Trump XII, THE HANGED MAN. This "hanged man" is the execution of the judgment of the previous trump.
Poseidon, as consort of the earth, was thought to fertilize her with his waters, much as sperm fertilizes the female.

 Economic bubble - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
An economic bubble (sometimes referred to as a "market bubble", a "financial bubble", or a "speculative mania") refers to a market condition in which the prices of commodities or asset classes increase to absurd or unsustainable levels (that no longer reflect utility of usage and purchasing power).
Both the boom and the bust phases of the bubble are examples of a positive feedback mechanism, in contrast to the negative feedback mechanism that determines the equilibrium price under normal market circumstances.
Due to this phenomenon, some regard bubbles as related to inflation and thus believe that the causes of inflation are also the causes of bubbles.

 Carlsbad desalination plan moving forward - North County Times - Coastal -
Poseidon started studying the idea in 2000, in the hope of building the nearly $300 million plant and selling the water it would produce ---- the first "drought-proof" water supply in San Diego County's history ---- to local residents through water agencies.
By 2003, the Water Authority and Poseidon confidently were predicting they would sign a deal to build a plant that would produce up to 100 million gallons of desalted seawater a day, as soon as 2007.
Poseidon has rejected claims it's seeking to gouge the Water Authority, and says it simply wants a fair deal.

 Coaster Kingdom - Poseidon, Europa Park
Poseidon was the son of Titans Cronus and Rhea, brother of Zeus and the husband of Amphitrite, one of the Nereids, by whom he had a son, Triton.
Poseidon plays part in many ancient myths, including those of his affairs with nymphs of the springs and fountains resulting in his many and somewhat notorious sons such as Orion and Polyphemus, the Cyclops.
Whilst the cascading waterfalls of Poseidon were beautiful, the salty water from them was worthless in comparison to the Olive tree planted by Athena.

 Poseidon review (2006) Josh Lucas - Qwipster's Movie Reviews
While the story and characters are completely different, the main emphasis is the same, with a tidal wave downing a luxury cruise ship that has a group of survivors trying to make their way out of the ship before the whole thing implodes on them.
With only hours to spare, a group of the ship's elite survivalists try to make their way out to signal their location to the rescue crews that will surely be looking for them, although the way is fraught with terror and turmoil at nearly every step of the way.
With Poseidon, we know that some will live and some will die, and the only real question is which among them won’t make it, and how they’ll be dispatched.

 The Aisle Seat - Poseidon
I realize that this is no particular fault of Poseidon, yet it remains a fact that this type of film has lost its sense of frivolous fun.
Here is the one chance for Poseidon to explore humanity in a time of tragedy, and it puts its tail between its legs and runs away.
Poseidon is rated PG-13 for intense prolonged sequences of disaster and peril.

Poseidon pulls away from the bay too quickly, and with no hesitation goes full speed ahead and never looks back.
It is apparent that this chaotic and overturned trip suffers from a similar drawback that the horror genre does, which is, unless you're Caucasian, you're doomed right away.
The Poseidon Adventure was not a perfect film, but it impossible not to respect what it produced.

 Cinema Confidential Review: Bubble Boy (2001)
"Bubble Boy" places our hero in the most mismatched pairings, in the most unlikely situations, with the most outrageous situations, ranging from a brainwashed spirit group, to a train full of circus freaks.
I'm glad that I experienced "Bubble Boy," for not only is it one of the summer's funniest comedies, but it also has one of the most unique characters since last year's "Nurse Betty." Set aside the commotion, relax your mind a bit, and enjoy the movie.
I hate to be the one to burst your bubble, but summer's almost over, and you got to take advantage of it somehow.

 Stock market bubble   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
A stock market bubble is a type of economic bubble taking place in Stock markets, in which a wave of public enthusiasm, evolving into herd behavior, causes an exaggerated bull market.
Some of those bubbles are created because of intense and excessive speculation on a new technology or service.
A Stock market bubble may set the stage for a later stock market crash, continuing our example, the Stock Market Crash of 2002.

 Poseidon at the Horsham
The facility has a 25 meter by eight lane conventional pool with a moveable floor, a small teaching pool, a water confidence pool for babies and toddlers, and leisure waters, an area of water indoors and outdoors for leisure swimming with bubble beds, moving water, jets and splash areas.
At the moment, Poseidon is installed in the main pool.
Horsham District Council, however, made sure the entire facility has the infrastructure and cabling ready for all pools to be Poseidon-equipped, thus enabling expanded installation in the future.

 Seven Days: Poseidon
Poseidon is not exactly a message movie, but it is instructional on at least one point: Under no circumstances should one ever share a boat with Richard Dreyfuss.
The captain assures survivors that they'll be safe until help arrives, that the room will act as an air bubble and keep the massive boat afloat.
The water level rises almost as quickly as Lucas, Russell and the rest can climb toward safety, and the filmmaker strings together a series of breathlessly entertaining sequences in which they race against the clock to stay one step ahead.

 Water Authority delays desalination study approval - North County Times - Coastal -
Connecticut-based Poseidon Inc. officials told Water Authority members in a letter that they oppose the agency's plan because the agency still hadn't reached a deal with Poseidon to do the project.
Poseidon has been studying the idea of building a plant that would turn 50 million gallons of seawater a day into drinking water at Carlsbad's Encina Power station since 2000.
Despite that, Poseidon has reached a deal to build the same plant with the city of Carlsbad ---- a deal that could apparently be changed if a deal were brokered with the Water Authority.

 Ohio State University News and Events - The Independent U Weekly (Campus 101)
However, Poseidon is one of many Hollywood movies of late that owes every shred of it’s existence to a movie that came before it, which in this case, is the 1972 masterpiece, The Poseidon Adventure.
This is insane, because the characters in The Poseidon Adventure were what made it one of the greatest movies of all time – and this is why I am going to recommend you rent or buy the newly released DVD Special Edition of the original film instead.
From him we learn that the Poseidon is on its last voyage ever, and slated to be retired and dismantled at the end of the journey.

The Dot-com bubble of the late 1990s is one example [1].

The bubble in closed-end country funds in the late 1980s is instructive here, as are the bubbles that occur in experimental asset markets.

 WSOCTV.com - Action 64, Cable Channel 10 - 'Phantom' Star Rossum Thrilled To Be Aboard 'Poseidon'
Set aboard the ocean liner on New Year's Eve, "Poseidon" stars Rossum as Jennifer Ramsey, a young woman who, despite her fiercely independent ways, can't quite muster the courage to tell her overprotective single father, Robert (Kurt Russell), that she and her boyfriend, Christian (Mike Vogel), have become engaged.
The great thing about Petersen, Rossum said, is that despite the spectacular visuals he's created at sea (and in the air, for that matter, with films like "Air Force One"), he never loses sight that characters are at the heart of the stories.
To Rossum's benefit in "Poseidon," it meant that she got to play a strong female character instead of a damsel in distress.

And the script had to be just the right size to be pulled out of the ass of the screenwriter, because I can't imagine where else is came from.
The only marginal advantage over M:I3 that Poseidon has is that it is really short (Just about 90 minutes even) and, even though it is evidence of how emotionally impotent the film is, there is a lack of the weepy, whinny woeful shots of Tom Cruise overemoting.
There is plenty of ham in Poseidon, but they seem to have been skimpy about the cheese.

The Poseidon is capsized, causing most of the passengers to fall from floor to ceiling.
And though the Captain (Andre Braugher) insists everyone stay in the safety of the "air bubble" until help arrives, Dylan Johns (Josh Lucas) figures his odds are better by heading to the top, er, bottom of the ship.

 Bubble (2005): Debbie Doebereiner, Dustin James Ashley, Misty Dawn Wilkins, Omar Cowan - PopMatters Film Review
The camera's focus on her face lets you know to attend to her jealousy, and also to judge it: her "best friend," who lives at home with his unemployed mother (Laurie Lee), has found someone his own age.
If Bubble's premise -- that a small-town, go-nowhere existence is depressing, even maddening -- isn't exactly news, it might count as insight.
The film's grander design -- beyond its occasional condescension or casting of nonprofessionals or even Soderbergh's seeming interest in someone else's everydayness -- has to do with distribution revolution, as or perhaps just anticipating an inevitable, not-so-far-off future, wherein films are released as DVDs and to theaters and tv all at once.
