CSC Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 I really need to comb through this thread so I know what my list actually looks like and how the hell I've climbed out of the cellar so much in the last couple weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S.K.o.S. Posted August 23, 2014 Author Share Posted August 23, 2014 Oh, by the way, no one from outside North America has ever won a prize in this pool. If it happens this year, I'm ok with providing a prize dvd to any winner who lives outside North America in whatever format they have a dvd player for, PAL format or whatever (at least in theory. Like if it turns out that a PAL dvd of any of the prize movies are super expensive or nonexistent, then I'll have to figure out something else).

Sublime Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! My grip on last place is gone, Expendables 3 and Sin City need to do some monster business. My precious last place finish is doomed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt D Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 I am still trying to figure out how I am moving up? Is everyone elses list just shitter than mine? And like Matt - I am kinda biased towards Natural winning the whole thing Maybe next year I'll do one of these. It's more fun to watch you guys rise and fall though.

_MJ_ Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 Oh, by the way, no one from outside North America has ever won a prize in this pool. Do what's best for the continent, Suicide... ..oh and Canada too. This would be the point I would turn heel on The Natural for storyline purposes.

Death From Above Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 So I think Sin City is officially into "disaster" territory, though I don't know what the budget on it was. But Box Office Mojo is projecting it in EIGHTH on it's debut weekend, which for such a major release has to be among the worst of the year surely.

Hoffman Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 Hoffman went from 60 points to 76 points. He got 8 points from the Expendables 3 RT list debut. I blame Ronda Rousey for this and challenge her to a brawl. Then I'll have my next of kin get in touch with you re: choice of DVD if I finish in the top 6 here.

Brian Fowler Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 GotG tops TMNT and As Above/So Below pretty easily. Dame did barely over 2 million. I actually enjoyed it a fair amount, despite the fact that my enjoyment of Miller's work has waned a lot as I've aged. The title story was always my favorite of the Sin City stories, and it got a pretty good workout (although cutting Ava describing herself as "evil" was a bit odd, to me) and the new stories weren't bad, I guess. JGL was pretty great as Johnny. I had no clue Just Another Saturday Night was part of the film. I now have absolutely no understanding of the time line of the Sin City universe, given that Marv is apparently still alive 4 years after That Yellow Bastard. Also, there was a definite over-reliance on Marv in general, what with opening the film with Just Another Saturday Night, then the team-up with Dwight from Dame, and then him teaming with Nancy in the Bastard sequel bit. Given the box office, we will clearly never get a part 3 to this. I would have liked to see how they handled the full color section from To Hell in Back, but at least we are spared seeing Family Values treated as film worthy.

J.T. Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 My argument: I already skipped one Eva Green is naked movie this year. Oh, I saw 300: Rise of an Empire. I got my fix. I have The Dreamers on DVD so I didn't have to go see either movie to accomplish this feat. I guess this makes me the smartest man in the room! GoTG is not only the big winner of the summer, it was the most profitable movie of the year to date. Too bad that those people deserving most of public humiliation for doubting this epic got themselves banned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Ape Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 Well, at least I can sleep at night knowing that underestimating the success of GotG is probably the SMALLEST mistake I made on my lists this year. Oy gevalt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
