July Pickem (HY #1/6)

BanksIsDaFuture wrote:Wow, JackO, that's crazy. That's a lot of points down the toilet, and I think the general consensus was that it meant which movie is there at the end of the year. At least that's how I took it.

Nope, if it hits the top 250 at all by the end of the year. But films don't usually do that much.

You're late

I don't think it'll affect anything, so I'll allow it. I would answer all the questions, though since there aren't pentalties for wrong answers (except the last one).

*lol* Yeah, I forgot to put this one in. Just delete my first week's answers if that'll keep things fair!

I don't think it matters... Its fine. No way can you tell the PTA winner or whether Ice Age will beat Tr2 from wednesday morning.

Hey, it looks like The Collector is a real movie after all! Three posters were just released on the Internet. However I don't expect much from it, in terms of both box office and entertainment. The writers wrote the really bad Saw movies and the producer directed The Haunting Of Molly Hartley.

Answers so far:
7/3 ROTF, THL, PE

vs.
1. The Meltdown
2. American Gangster

Standings:
JackO 4/5
Roode 4/5
W 2/5
Banks 2/5
Ozzy 2/5
Donte 2/5
Tranny 2/5
Brockman 1/5
Buscemi 1/5

It's not too late to change "All Good Things" from our slates is it? Since it got moved back?

'fraid that's all part of the locking in the picks deal...

BTW: I wish we had a few more players...

Yeah but it's quality over quantity W! *lol*

I'm having more fun doing this every week than waiting for the super league standings... except the last superleague update of the month. I very much like to see how I finish each round and the regular leagues, which reminds me that I need to update my "Slates" thread, but I'm too busy watching Lost right now...

'fraid that's all part of the locking in the picks deal...

Ok, well are we going to use it's imdb score then? Not sure why we can't change...seems a little shitty to me.

Can't change because its a monthly and not a weekly game...
