That should read Hostel, not Hotel, but hopefully everyone gets the idea.

Whoops. Missed the S.

leestu

I'm in

I have a new job with better hours and better pay but also more responsibility, which means I have a lot less goof-off time at work, which is going to seriously cut into my box office research. The first thing I'll cut back on is HSX, but I hope I have time to maintain the level of mediocrity I'm accustomed to in our games.

You better, John !

Yeah, you better. Otherwise attention will be further drawn to my own mediocrity!

I'm liking my chances for the box office minis.

Maybe focusing all my energies on the games I enjoy most will help me do better. If I have to choose between the yearly draft, the Top 20 games, and the Fantasy Mogul games, the latter will be the ones I half-ass.

March movies will be added next week. Hopefully the April ones, too.

Just noticed:

Ron B - You included Taken 3 on both your Round 1 and Round 2 slates in Box Office. The dollars earned by that film will only count once.

Can't wait to see that Spare Pants movie the site mentions on January 16. Apparently based on the old joke about the golfer with two pairs of pants in case he got a hole in one.
