THE OFFICIAL 2014 FANTASY GAME THREAD

[BrocksterDuex]

Me too, it's far and away the best theme we've ever had.

[Chienfantome]

And I have to say I had to google "Rim job" to understand Leestu's studio name, and you should be ashamed, young man, to pervert this community with such disgusting terms. And you too, by the way, Brockster.
Well I told you that now, thanks to Son of God's box-office number, I had found faith. And your studio names are just... they're just... alright they're perfect for the theme
I like Empire's The French Toast Connection too.

[Spectre]

I have a feeling all the IMs I lucked into last round will be spent in short order.

[Chienfantome]

It happens, that's why we want those IMs so much sometimes

I think you missed my asterisk in the BOHY. Other than that, I love the way these leagues are shaping up!

[Chienfantome]

And mine for Ultimate FY.
Well obviously I'm thrilled to see my name appear in the green zone or chasing it 3 more times, but if it turns out like last month, I may not be thrilled til the end...

[Geezer]

Why is it that I always seem to have those films that don't end up reporting their grosses....

[BrocksterDuex]

My top 3 favorite studio names:

1. The Brian Austin Green Mile - this literally made me laugh out loud at work, hilarious!
2. Pacific Rim Job - I am suprised they haven't made a spoof porno with this name.
3. The French Toast Connection - classic


I love this theme. I hope we do it every other month or so.

[Shrykespeare]

The June movies have finally been added. You may now all adjust your April slates accordingly.

There are a few titles that I added at bargain-basement indie prices that were not included on the pricing schemes that I sent out. They are:

6/13 Policeman, $3/$1
6/20 Miss Lovely, $3/$1
6/27 Nothing Bad Can Happen, $4/$1

The Rover and The Signal are also included. Yay.

However, several titles I had hoped would be added for May (Lucky Them, Tracks, Cold in July) were not. Bummer.

I will be sending out a mass e-mail tomorrow to let everyone know about these developments.

[Chienfantome]

Thanks Shryke.

[Shrykespeare]

That's just bizarre. I have confirmed that Island of Lemurs: Madagascar has disappeared from the game completely.

That pisses me off, because that will monkey with the way the PTA points were distributed last weekend.


Anyone who had it on their slates in either Box Office or Ultimate had better replace it ASAP.

[Walleye413]

For real? That's bizarre. Thanks for the heads up.

[Shrykespeare]
