Sorry Matt...what's confusing about question 20?

[baumer]

Question 20 is all about the 7 comedies mentioned here:

 

For these questions there is no abstaining, unless you choose to not answer any of them, in which you will receive 5000 points. But that is your only option for abstaining, you must abstain from all of them.

 

Comedy battle of the summer:

 

There are 7 high profile comedies coming out this summer.  They are:

 

Neighbors

Blended

22 Jump Street

Think Like a Man Too

A Million Ways to Die in the West

Tammy

Sex Tape

[baumer]

Just did my 100th and hopefully last edit for the game.  Damn!  Tough year.

[Olive]

I only edited once.

The more you tinker the more you going to regret it later.

[#ED]

Wait, preseasons are done? No more edits?

[iceroll]

It seems like snowpiercer isn't opening wide anymore

[baumer]

Lots of time left.  You have until 3AM EST, 11:59 PST

 

It seems like snowpiercer isn't opening wide anymore

 

It appears you are right, but most have done their predictions and Snowpiercer was wide.....so it counts as wide.  I can't change it the day of.  

[chasmmi]

Any chance somebody can say what the time is (in deadline time zone) in a post so that I can work out how different that is to where I am?

 

I'm working on the theory that i am 12-16 hours ahead 

[baumer]

Deadline is now 13 hours and 45 minutes away.

[BadAtGender]

The problem with making changes is my thought process is all "I'm probably wrong about something." Not "I'm wrong about this specific thing." It's too vague a sense to feel like any change is for the better.

[Dementeleus]

Korea is 16 hours ahead of California.

[NerdyGeek]

Finished!

[chasmmi]

Cheers both

 

So i've got till 4pm tomorrow afternoon.

 

Time for 2 more periods of freakout and mind changing.

I know that feeling. I am pretty sure that i'll have had all of the eventual top 15 in my provisional top 15 at one point or another so I can happily feel like I was so close to a million points when i really wasnt

[baumer]

I put Blended in my top 15 as a last minute edit. Took out the Turtles

[#ED]

Turtles is just "IDK".

It could bomb but at the same time, it could make decent money.
