[transformers2]

[transformers2]

Standings update with 3 weeks to go. six's selection of The Equalizer 3 over Mutant Mayhem is powering him to a narrow lead over Screen for 1st and with 2 titles remaining compared to Screen 1's, he's in a great spot to win. Elsewhere, Ron, Boosh and I are in a tight race for 3rd that should go down to the wire and Chien selecting M:I over Oppenheimer has left him in a really rough spot.

I'll pick up Dumb Money

[Chienfantome]

My biggest setback in the Ultimate and BO leagues is I never come back to my initial choices. I'm just too lazy.

[Buscemi2]

I knew the Nolan faithful would give Oppenheimer 10's just for it being a Nolan film. They insist Tenet was good.

[numbersix]

I knew the Nolan faithful would give Oppenheimer 10's just for it being a Nolan film. They insist Tenet was good.

That never occurred to me, but it's a great point. These days IMDB is just a collection of pasty film bros.

I just figured it would appeal to an older crowd and hold well in the Top 5 across the weeks.

[Buscemi2]

Types of movies I've found get high IMDb ratings:

- a part of a franchise angry white men love
- a film from a director popular with angry white men
- faith-based movies not named God's Not Dead
- men's rights propaganda
- movies filled with violence
- things part of a viral campaign (such as when Red Letter Media got fans to give a movie 10 scores without said voters even seeing it)

You never know otherwise.

[Spectre]

Guess I’ll try to swap out to at least have a full slate lol. Poor Things and Problemista out, Expendables 4 and Carlos in.
