SOTM7 must have been the easiest SOTM to score ever. Everyone who answered was wrong.

 

Yes, that was not the plan but Films keep doing unexpected things.

 

There's a similiar situation with the Big Hero vs interstellar Question where after 8 days only the multiplier question is still up in the air.

[chasmmi]

6 out of 25 contestants are not negative on the SOTMs.  That's pretty impressive.  A strategy of just abstaining on all of them would be, what, 5th or so?

 

FTFY

 

Yeah, about that. (I'll make sure the next one is easier so I can get myself into a positive score)

[chasmmi]

And finally the current Overall Standings!!!

[JJ-8]

Pretty sure I've got the max bonus for q1 and 3 .

[chasmmi]

Gotta tell the forum Members

Scoring could take all night

Think I'll need the devil to help me get things right

 

Gonna focus on next week's questions
'Cause these ones went awry
so sit around and watch my victory hopes die

Now I'm looking to Taken to save me
Or any other sign of life
Looking for something to break out and burn bright
I'm looking for a stipulation
cause its better than flat out lying
Till then I'll make my way back home and cry

 

[grim22]

Thanks to HB2's great hold, and everything else underperforming, almost 90% of the people this week will get zero points for placements. I think only 2 or 3 people will even get one placement correct.

Will actually get around to some scoring tonight for last week hopefully too.

[Wrath]

Not going to be pretty this week.

[JJ-8]

Yep. Horrible week

[grim22]

Apparently Mockingjay has been pulled from its January release date in China. China will now surely not be one of its top 5 territories.
