SPEARE'S TIPS - The Films of 3/2/12

[Geezer]

If you took Chronicle, Valor, Vow, Lorax and Hunger Games, its almost impossible to believe you wouldn't get one. Unless a couple people took all of those, plus Safe House.

[Shrykespeare]

According to my calculations, I just took first place in the BO FY R1 with 4 weeks to go. I still have Safe House, The Vow and The Lorax producing, and I have Hunger Games coming up. I'm feeling really good right now.

Also: Barca is in big trouble in the Ultimate leagues. Apart from the underperforming Beauty and the Beast (which a lot of people had), he also picked Man on a Ledge, Declaration of War, Perfect Sense and Wanderlust, all of which had either no stats or paltry stats. He has The Lorax, but that's his eighth and final film in Ult FY. (In HY, he also has John Carter coming up.) After this weekend, I project him at 29th place out of 59 players. And there's nowhere to go but down for him.

Three players have apparently withdrawn: Samiam1000, Ipkissthesavage and SuperShaan. I have sent them all repeated e-mails and received none in return (except Samiam, who conveyed his wishes to withdraw). Therefore, the number of players apart from those players who will be eliminated in the four tournament are as follows:

Ultimate FY R1 - 3
Ultimate HY R1 - 9
Box Office FY R1 - 3
Box Office HY R1 - 9

Surfer, will you quit winking at Geez? It's a little disturbing.

Especially when you take them out of context:

Last I checked you were not a pre-teen [wink].
You keep sweating, buddy [wink].
Good luck with that! [wink]

[Buscemi]

Surfer likes a little meat.

[Chienfantome]

Good point Brockster, this is hilarious

[silversurfer19]

I can't help it. It's a twitch. [wink]

I really do have one, actually. Over the last few years my left eye has been getting noticeably worse. I dread to think what all the women who get my bus to work think of me. Actually,now I think of it, there are usually a couple of women smiling in my near vicinity, maybe it's my version of the Michael Fassbender alluring stare in Shame...

Still got it!

[Geezer]

Glad Being Flynn actually beat Boy. That is a relief.

[Chienfantome]

Glad Being Flynn actually beat Boy. That is a relief.

That's exactly what I was gonna say, Geez

[Brockster]

Holy shit, what a HUGE Monday drop for Lorax....83% drop...that's high, even for a family animated movie.

[Buscemi]

That's expected for family movies, especially ones with monster openings.

[numbersix]

Yep, and I expect a large drop (50%) for the 2nd weekend of The Lorax. But watch how well it holds after that.
