\"\"The documentary movie Floored made its Chicago premiere this past weekend, and the trading floor won the sentimental vote over the black box from a trader-studded opening-night crowd.<\/p>\n

Filmed mostly in Chicago, Floored tracks the experiences of open-outcry traders whose positions\u00a0in the pits\u00a0became obsolete when computers arrived.<\/p>\n

A floor-friendly audience made its sentiments obvious. Feigned vomiting drew a laugh after a reference in the film to “the life and times of the upstairs trader.” <\/span><\/p>\n

Chicagoan Kenny Ford similarly\u00a0inspired hoots and cheers\u00a0with his onscreen ranting about the computer making it “impossible to trade.”<\/p>\n

His signature line: “I hate computers.”<\/p>\n

Filmmaker James Allen Smith told the audience that after its run here<\/a> at the Gene Siskel Film Center downtown, Floored will be shown in a half-dozen episodes this spring on the Internet and mobile TV\u00a0site Babelgum.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n

From the audience, Ford shot back, “Now what about us who don’t know how to use a computer?” No word yet about the movie’s release on DVD.<\/p>\n
