Box Office Top 20 - Fall 2013
Moderators: Buscemi, BarcaRulz, Geezer, W
Re: Box Office Mega Contest - Fall 2013
I like how this is shaping up so far! Everyone thinks everybody else's picks are crazy!
Me, I'd take the sequel to the beloved $400 million movie over the sequel to the beloved $200 million movie every time, but it doesn't really matter much. In the unlikely event of a tie for first place, Six has chosen to finish second.
I'm still working on mine, but apart from that wacky #1 pick, I suspect there'll be a lot of overlap on our lists.

It is so sad the amount of sequels on the list. Whatever happened to originality
Yeah, well, you know, that's just, like, your opinion, man. - The Dude
Re: Box Office Mega Contest - Fall 2013
It's labelled pretentious arty stuff and ignored. Hopefully in the next year or two people will grow tired of the same ol crap and original ideas will be valued again. There needs to be a few original hits first.Geezer wrote:It is so sad the amount of sequels on the list. Whatever happened to originality

To Hell with originality, give me my Grown Ups 3
Wait, what happened to me, I just typed words without being aware, this isn't me speaking...

I know but I just read SIx's list and the sheer number of them is staggering.

Re: Box Office Mega Contest - Fall 2013
Yeah, I felt that too. 15 of my Top 20 are sequels, and 1 other is an intended franchise starter. What's worse is that I don't want to see most of them (maybe the Xmen movie and Dawn of the Apes.... and only if they get good reviews/WOM).Geezer wrote:I know but I just read SIx's list and the sheer number of them is staggering.

Nice. That's three down and who knows how many to go.
And here's a friendly reminder: if you want Cloudy 2 on your slate you have one week left to submit your picks.
And if you want Rush or Prisoners on your slate you need to get your picks in today. And then you need to see a brain doctor tomorrow because there's something wrong with you.

You know what they say, the early bird gets the shaft.
It would have been top 5 on my list, but I'm still trying to decide on those last few picks. Glad I waited.
