BSG KITIK WINS!!

Huzzah Week one down and ahead of the chimpanzee!!! 

 

(Before anybody below gets offended and assumes they are being called a chimpanzee, I am talking about the imaginary chimp that randomly chooses answer A or B for each question and scores 50%)

Missed week 1 questions

As did I. Don't worry, like Baumer said, the game isn't won or lost in the first week. One year, I was hanging around spots 20-25 for most of the game. When it was over I ended in the top 5. And to show how important the top 15 will be:Another year I was in 4th place before Baumer figured in everyone's top 10. After that I ended up in 8th. I went down instead of up. The hardest thing is playing all the way through to the end.

I feel your pain. The top 12 killed me in 2010. I think I dropped from 1st/2nd down to 5th. Went balls-to-the-wall with IM2 and TS3. Bad idea. Even Inception wasn't enough to save me.

Yeah the first couple of years I didn't knish the game but last year I finally did.

I just checked the old TDKR prediction thread from last year. No one thought the movie would make less than 177M. WOW.

[baumer]

Yea but the Batman theater bombing cut it short.

Punishment!!  WTF!!  That's awesome.  But LAguy is going to be pissed.  lol

[baumer]

Just for the record, I have the low sT2 prediction:

 

5. Star Trek: 235.5M

 

 

[kayumanggi]

How many players do we have this year?

 

And this is the discussion thread right? The weekly questions thread is in the game section. What BSG-related thread(s) should I know about?

[#ED]

MoS 171!? Huh!?

[baumer]

This is the thread for discussing Kayu.  All the scoring threads are locked.  That is to avoid clutter.  This one lets you run the gambit.  

[baumer]

I have my first surprise addition to the game coming up in about 15 minutes.  I think you guys will like this one.  

 

This is the first of a possible three surprises this summer.  

[Punishment]

I thought LAguy just did the weekly standing updates - I hope I'm not stepping on his toes

MOS and PR are the most divisive films of the summer. Also who the hell put the conjuring in their top 15?

[#ED]

Baumer, anyway you can delete all my posts from that Suprise thread.

The Conjuring at 165? Wow. That's probably the biggest surprise in all of Punishment's list.

 

Though I'm alos a little surprised that no one wne thigher than 450 on Iron Man. The average is 394, and yet no one is even $60 million over the average. I'm surprised no one went really big.

You weren't here for IM2, a lot of the board members got burned badly, so they probably took a safer route, plus it only has a week before it has competition. Not much breathing room.
