SPEARE'S TIPS - The Films of 8/26/11

[Geezer]

Hey Shryke, how many Super Leagues have I won again?

[silversurfer19]

Keep living in the past, Buddy! [wink]

[W]

If we're bragging, I'm about to have a pizza party!

[Geezer]

In the past? I'm about to claim another one! Haven't been eliminated in a single tournament this year! Oh Surfer, if you can pull off a winning slate with eight 6x multiplier films on it, I'll buy the pizza for W's party

[transformers2]

I should begin taking tips from all of you guys, I got eliminated so early in the Full Year tournaments this year.

[numbersix]

Just don't take tips from me and Boosch. Our high hopes for Larry Crowne were so wrong it was painful.

The Help and Apes have been phenomenal picks this month, still pissed that one of my slates got messed up and didn't include either of those. Thankfully i have them on the others though.

[silversurfer19]

I totally underestimated The Help, leaving it off the majority of slates. Fortunately I had Apes on everything. Hopefully for my BO leagues My Idiot Brother can hold well, not a great opening, was hoping for another couple of million at least.

[Chienfantome]

Unfortunately I was away on vacation at the beginning of the August leagues, so I couldn't pick Planet of the Apes on any slate. I'm afraid it's gonna hurt me.

[Geezer]

Replace hurt with kill. Going to be impossible to do anything without Apes on your slate in the August leagues.

[Chienfantome]

I'm afraid so. Why did it have to open when I wasn't here to come up with my slate ?!
