_MJ_ Posted September 5, 2015 Share Posted September 5, 2015 If this comes down to the tiebreaker... Only 4 points separate DreamBroken and I. Maybe if Man FROM UNCLE leaps over FF, I might be in trouble. I think SOOCompton moving up passed Ant Man wouldn't hurt because we would cancelled each other out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreamBroken Posted September 5, 2015 Share Posted September 5, 2015 I'm stunned to have made #2, was figuring early I'd have little to no shot but my picks turned out surprisingly well. Always fun to follow this, glad to have hung in towards the top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_MJ_ Posted September 6, 2015 Share Posted September 6, 2015 Actually, strikeout what I said before. DreamBroken, wisely, did not put Ant Man on his box office list. If SOOCompton passes it in box office, this gets a lot closer... *clutches pearls* 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.T. Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 Third Place? You might not get stuck with Fisher King after all, bro. The fact that NWA is killing your ballot disheartens me. I thought you would've had it a lot higher on your ballot. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J.T. Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 I had no faith in white people I was shocked. For once, white people did not let me down but then I watched the news and rediscovered why I have no faith in most of them. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S.K.o.S. Posted September 11, 2015 Author Share Posted September 11, 2015 Unfortunately, I gotta make you all wait one more day for the exciting conclusion (although it doesn't look like anyone will be moving in the standings from last week). Update will come tomorrow sometime. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_MJ_ Posted September 11, 2015 Share Posted September 11, 2015 It was extremely tight, but it looks as if Straight Outta Compton won't catch Ant Man before the 28 days deadline. Phew. One more day and it would have passed it. Fun Summer. Pins and needles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

_MJ_ Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 Yes, thanks as always to S.K.o.S. for running and keeping up with this game for the past couple of years. I'm shocked more DVDVR members don't enter it. Between the free stuff S.K.o.S. supplies and nerding out over movie quality/box office, everyone should give it a least one shot. Humblebrag: I've won a prize every year I've entered(I think I skipped 2012) so I've seen quality films I probably wouldn't have checked out otherwise, due to this game. How much more incentive do you need? Much credit to S.K.o.S; make that man a movie/tv mod. Looking back at this thread, I still can't get over Jurassic Park beating the Avengers sequel in box office. Not just beating it either; destroyed it. Tomorrowland (Clooney doesn't have that many more movies in him right?) and Aloha, even moreso, bombing. Five movies with a 90 percent or better rating on RT this year. Damn. My goal was to get WHIPLASH, so I'll admit I did do some research for this summer's game. I'm proud of the tiebreaker Mission Impossible estimate because that number wasn't a completely random pull. Not sure if this will be my last year in the contest. It's nice to be finally good at something. I don't want to go out like Willie Mays or Brett Favre. Yes, it's that big of a deal. Thanks again, S.K.o.S. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Natural Posted September 17, 2015 Share Posted September 17, 2015 Pretty sure this was my worst ever outing. Two things I got right, Avengers: Age of Ultron wouldn't peform as well critically and at the box office as Avengers Assemble. Even with that I still placed A: AoU on the top of my Box Office and Rotten Tomatoes list. D'oh! The other is a return to form with Pixar's Inside Out. Biggest surprises to me: money made by Jurassic World, Spy's and Tomorrowland's RT ratings. Latter two fucked me. Thanks as ever for running this Suicide King of Spades!

Vincey Greene Posted September 24, 2015 Share Posted September 24, 2015 S.K.o.S 4 life! Thanks as always for running this thing.
