Wrath

What do you mean? To Chas, these WERE easy.

An attractive young lady is failing a college class and its threatening her financial aid so she's really upset. She gets all dressed up and visits her professor. She goes into his office, closes the door, and gives this emotional story about how she HAS to pass the class. As she concludes her story, she gets to the point: "I HAVE to pass, professor. And I'll do anything to pass." "Anything?" the professor asks somewhat skeptically. "ANYTHING", she repeats, batting her eyelashes invitingly at him. "Well," the professor begins, "if you'd really do ANYTHING to pass my class... This might sound weird, but... would you be willing to... Study?" Go to the gym.

For WW, I'd say not really.

Ok, I'm cool with that.

That was the role...

Oh, they already came out. They're buried somewhere on like page 3200 of the Classic Conversation thread if you want to go find them...

Emma Watson in BatB was a lot like Gadot in WW. The casting directors somehow managed to find the absolute best possible person, probably in the entire world, to play their respective roles. Was startlingly good.

Heh. Having that title in world where people can fly is a little underwhelming. Plus, his super villain name has basically nothing to do with the one thing he's best known for. I mean, I get that he kills people, but shouldn't he have been "Captain Climber" or something? And then to cap it all off, his head blew up. Poor Slipknot.

Sorry, aabattery, sad to see you go.

Yeah, this feels like an Angry Birds-level performer.

Rats! YourMother must have gotten onto the dock before I knocked everyone else out! Next time I'll aim more carefully... and use more firepower.

Week 5 - Yes

I think they INTEND tracking to be conservative, but sometimes they fail (spectacularly, on occassion).

I'm betting Atomic Blonde. It looks pretty good on its own, then add in that the trailers are suggesting a Charlize Theron-Sophia Boutella lesbian scene and the lines will go out the door.

Yes. C'mon. You have to put a little more effort into your argument than THAT.

SS was driven by amazing marketing. WW is more of a "thing". I've been guessing mid 80s for WW for a while now, and listening to my daughters talk about it, I think I'm going to be rather low.

Also, aabattery wiped out on Question 3, not Question 2, I believe.

Week 4 - No

As an fyi, in the last Winter game, in weeklies I came in 17th out of the ~19 people who were taking them seriously and on SotM's, I came in 14th of the 21-22 people who were taking them seriously. And I ended up winning. This game is a little different but you're not out of it.

Finally saw Atomic Blonde trailer. I'm really, really sad I didn't put it in my top 15. Its going to kill.

Well, fine. Since you asked nicely, my guess is that you're probably correct.
