  1. Although that didn't stop me spending the entire season up until about 4 weeks from the end consistently being around 27th or 28th out of the 25 people still playing. It takes a special kind of predictor to still be behind players that had dropped out of the game months earlier.
  2. It looked like a pretty good film from the trailer (If I am getting my films right) Period set films break out quite often in Korea too.
  3. So could this be leading to Francis Donahyde in Season 3?
  4. How about a 10k bonus if we do not abstain from any preseason question?
  5. Has anybody ever made it to the end of a game with a negative score before? (Not a mid-game dropout I mean) Because if anymore questions like this show up, I'm heading that way I fear
  6.

  7. At first glance the top 15 feels a lot harder this year than last. I could see maybe even 5 or 6 different films getting ranked first by different members this year, whereas last year it was pretty certain to be Iron man all the way.

  9. If I find a way of illegally downloading the book for free and posting the torrent as proof, can I still get the bonus 20k?
  10. Power through the sickness Baumer or we will have to stage a coup d'BSG and put things in control of the military or something.

  12. Is Team America a musical? Technically the characters to do not sing the songs, but the soundrack is a big part of the film in how it is used compared to standard non-musical films
  13. So far Only Eurotrip and Space Cowboys made the list. (But then again I was apparently using a differenct interpretation of underrated to many others it seems).Can I retcon Life of Pi to the top of my list seeing as I feel that's the best film of the past 10 years and there is at least 1 person on this forum who doesn't agree with me?I can't can't see too many others from my list making it :(1) Mike Bassett England Manager2) Rocky 63) Men in Black 34) Space Cowboys5) Eurotrip6) Terminator 37) Keeping the Faith8) Rambo 49) Team America World Police10) Everything Must Go11) Red 212) The Road to El Dorado13) Jersey Girl14) Hellboy15) Zack and Miri Make a Porno16) Thor17) Live free or Die Hard18) Gone in 60 seconds19) Snatch20) Adaptation21) Serenity22) School of Rock23) Blades of Glory24) The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen25) Ocean's 13
  14. Maybe special interest or Independant cinema? Although I think Arthouse works too. The problem with that though is Old Partner being top of the list as that is more documentary than arthouse IMO.
  15. Personally as long as I get to see Ploddy the Police car on the case before it leaves cinemas Captain America and Noah can just go take a back seat
  16. Hurrah!And a bonus question to guess the combined gross of the top 15 ftw!!!
  17. I sometimes find it interesting the number of older actors who hit megastardom in thier 50s or later.Examples that come to mind are Anthony Hopkins - Silence of the Lambs, Ian Mckellen - XMen/LOTR, Judy Dench - James Bond.Now obviously all of these actors have been around for decades before getting these parts and are great actors. But ask me to name a defining role of theirs off the top of my head that precede the above mentioned films... I got nothing.
  18. I aim to improve on last year.(which means trying to finish ahead of all of the mid game drop outs this year and not just most of them )
  19. My mistake then.I still stand by it not getting close to 5M though. I hope it turns out to be great and does, but I just don't feel that Koreans are now in love with animations, they're just in love with frozen.If however HTTYD2 does break out and beat KFP2 as well then it would be a sign that adults en masse have realised that animated films can be worth watching and the next few years could see 'emerging market' type growths in admissions for future animated films.I'd like to see that happen (compared to the Cloduy / Despicable / Monsters Uni situation of last year, but I am skeptical
  20. I see it getting the Despicable Me treatment myself. Huge in USA and some other territories, but buried in October with all the other summer animations that came out and destroyed by a local film. Sadly.
  21. It's much more simple than than. Basically I joined just before Avengers was released and then the masses followed suit when they realised I was here (that's what I like to think anyway)IN seriousness though I am not sure how many of the korea members are Korean and how many are foreigners living over here. (I am not Korean for example)
  22. Who is still preordering tickets for Frozen? I think its pretty safe to turn up at the cinema now
  23. There's a Korean version over here which is pretty succesful (most famous episode being when they accidentally crashed a military helicopter during one of the races) and I have heard that Russia and Germany have versions too.
