[Ideas about GI Joe: Now top 11 and top 6 for dom OW]

From LA Guy:

Here are my two cents:

Anyone who has G.I. Joe 2 in their Top 12 should be able to replace it with any movie that opens on the same day that the film was supposed to be released or later (so from June 29th on).

Anyone who did not include the film should have the option of changing out any single film in their Top 12 that opens on or after June 29th with any other film that opens on or later than June 29th.

I feel that this might be the fairest way to do it. It gives everyone an equal opportunity.

I disagree that the replacement film has to be put in the #12 spot. That'll affect the outcome too much. For example, I predicted G.I. Joe to be the 8th high grossing film. If I put it at #12, then my current #9-12 will all be bumped up. This could possibly lead to an increase in points for me, so that wouldn't be fair either. I have Snow White at #12. What if it ends up being the 11th highest grossing film? If we go by your idea of automatically putting the new film at #12, I will get points for having Snow White in the right spot, even though I didn't predict that at the beginning of the summer.

I understand your logic because it would only make sense that whatever films you didn't include in your top 12 originally weren't included because you thought the other 12 would obviously gross more, but it will probably affect the rest of our top 12 too much. I think each indivual player should be to make their own choice.

First off, I picked G.I. Joe for my Top 12. I think that we should pick a new movie to go into the Top 12, not necessarily at the bottom. Likewise, I feel that the other 10 people should be given a choice to edit one movie in their Top 12. Perhaps, they can change the gross or swap one out for a different movie.

At this point, we don't really need to set a limit on what movies we can choose for replacement.

Prometheus: 54

Brave: 54

Men In Black 3: 54

Snow White: 53

Almost everyone has the next few weeks worth of movies in their Top 12, so a release date limit has little effect.

Get any question right: 7000

Get any question wrong: -7000

Abstain from all four questions: 5000

Go for all four, and get all four correct not only will you get the 28,000, you get a bonus of 28,000. But you must go for all four to qualify for the bonus

SOTM 1:

Which of these films will hit 100 million in the shortest amount of time? (days)

1) Dictator

2) The Expendables

3) Prometheus - 187 million

4) That's my Boy

5) Rock of Ages

Points:

8000: Call the correct film to do so.

-5000: call the incorrect film

10,000: say none of these films will cross 100 mill this summer

15,000: say all of these films will cross 100 mill this summer

3000: abstain

For a 7000 point bonus, if you call the correct film, tell me the final gross of that film this summer. Get within 10 mill of the finish to get the bonus. There is no penalty for being off more than 10 mill.

I caught a couple episodes after Modern Family this season and enjoyed it. So, I picked up season 1 and it was really funny. I guess I just love shows full of random/slightly coherent references and great chemistry between the actors (This, Community, Workaholics).
