I've had quite a bad day today guys. I'm not in the mood for doing points just yet. I'll get to them tonight and I'll have the final weeks questions up as well. I just need some time to chill.

Top 3 answers get 3000 bonus points. Judged by me solely. I'm awarding points to three of you but honestly, I think all of your answers were very very good. The ones that made me laugh and or had the Expendables kind of mantra in them are ultimately the ones that got the points:1) Gizmo: Chuck Norris roundhousekicked everybody who didn't rate the movie 11/10 back in time thus preventing them from ever paying for the film. 3000 (my fave of the bunch)2) Dark Alfred: Nice words? Got it. Well the audience were shit-brained, fuck-faced, ball breaking, duck fucking pain in the asses. But don't worry, we can fix it. All we need is a needle and thread. 30003) movieman: It was clearly all Liam Hemsworth's fault. He's engaged to Miley Cyrus and no guy wanted to come within 100 yards of anything related to Hannah Montana. Thankfully the problem is taken care of for Ex 3. 3000No bullshit though, all of the answers were awesome.10/12 300011/12 500012/12 7000Bonus 1: What will Expendables gross on Saturday? 3000 5.597Bonus 2: What will the weekend combined cume be of Bourne, Paranorman and Brave? 3000 17.975Bonus 3: What finishes in spots:1 EX23 Paranorman7 Obama10 Hit and Run 12 Apparition2000 each, 3000 bonus if all 5 correct.Good luck!Dark Alfred 10 make up questions:1) Will Expendables have a better Friday than at least two of the three openers (App, P.Rush, Hit and Run)?

I may or may not get the questions done this week. Got a little Hurricane to deal with at this point in time. Going to work here in a bit and I'm going to end up having to stay at the hospital until late Wed night or maybe even Thursday morning.

[acsc1312]

I don't think I ever got individs??

[baumer]

It looks like TDKR will make a billion by the end of the game:

Here are the revised points that will be added/subtracted: (The way it looks, almost everyone will get 25,000 and only spaghetti and bed will lose 25,000

Question 7: Will at least 2 films make one billion WW this summer? YES

Answer it correctly: 15000 points

Answer it incorrectly: lose 10,000 points

Choose not to answer ( and you must state that you are not answering..failing to do so will automatically result in a loss of 10,000 points) 3000 points.

[Tower]

I answered yes to question 7.

[baumer]

I answered yes to question 7.

Ok, so you get 15,000, not 25,000 because I didn't take any points off you.I'm only going to add these points if they make a difference in the standings. Almost everyone got points deducted so it kind of doesn't matter.

[CJohn]

I am not understanding what is happening with question 7. Why am I losing 10000 points?
