You can set up your winter league on Studio Wars if you'd like. We run our leagues a little differently than you, we use an auction draft where each player acts as a studio exec investing money. Check us out!<br /><br />P.S. To Tom's comment above, we do almost exactly that. Smaller, limited release movies get a multiplier added so they are worth investing in.Dariushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02041978011604967628noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1780049817885747695.post-12459479628286754682012-04-26T10:37:18.090-04:002012-04-26T10:37:18.090-04:00Liz, maybe we can together to see whatever childre...Liz, maybe we can together to see whatever children's movie I pick. I was leaning towards Brave but if Julia has a favorite, I'll go with that!e-orbinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02182101191521956506noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1780049817885747695.post-72779794168066975712012-04-26T10:35:56.645-04:002012-04-26T10:35:56.645-04:00This. is. amazing.

(I was much more 'in' on Total Recall but I agree with you there and I had "Neighborhood Watch" rated over "The Campaign" but I think I'll have to switch those seeing as the nation is - appropriately - sensitive about Trayvon Martin) Ah but I won't say anymore now because this is already too much! (but seriously - thank you for all the input!! its awesome!)e-orbinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02182101191521956506noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1780049817885747695.post-78601378734408925612012-04-25T17:22:04.311-04:002012-04-25T17:22:04.311-04:00P.S. only rule I'd try to add would be to some...P.S. only rule I'd try to add would be to somehow figure in the film's budget. In other words, you'd get more points for smaller budget movies making a lot of money. Probably just needs an algorithm (I don't know what that word means). Neil could do the math.Tomhttp://www.carpetbaggery.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1780049817885747695.post-66237072716964291572012-04-25T16:52:47.296-04:002012-04-25T16:52:47.296-04:00Awesome on so many levels. Here's my big board...Awesome on so many levels. Here's my big board:<br /><br />Lottery Picks<br />1. Dark Knight Rises (take nothing that comes out 3 weeks after)<br />2. Marvel’s The Avengers (covered in ComiCon drool)<br />3. The Amazing Spider-man<br />Other first round possibilities<br />Abe Lincoln, Vampire Hunter (because it’s true)<br />The Dictator (Sasha is magic)<br />Snow White and the Huntsman (has Twilight DNA on it, and no competition for 3 weeks after)<br />Bourne Legacy (no Damon is a problem, but there are a lot of Bourne fanboys like me out there)<br />The Campaign (Will Ferrell, Zach Galifianakis, and Jason Sudeikis in an August desert)<br /><br />Overrated:<br />MIB III (do kids know who Will Smith is anymore?)<br />Dark Shadows (Tim Burton sketchy box office history: http://www.the-numbers.com/people/directors/TBURT.php )<br />Total Recall (You can’t remake a bad 80s movie as a good movie. Name one time this ever worked)<br /><br />Dark Horses<br />Chernobyl Diaries (up against MIB III)<br />Moonrise Kingdom (Yeah, you wish.)<br />Rock of Ages (if there’s a God, this should beat Adam Sandler’s stupid movie)<br />Sparkle ? (Whitney Houston mojo? Probably won’t translate to dollars though)<br />Premium Rush (no late summer blockbusters and is this the only driving movie of the year?)<br /><br />Kiddie movie (because you need a placekicker. Close your eyes and pick one.)<br />Ice Age: Continental Drift<br />Diary of a Whimpy Kid<br />Madagascar 3Tomhttp://www.carpetbaggery.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1780049817885747695.post-48258601859612703052012-04-25T14:22:25.561-04:002012-04-25T14:22:25.561-04:00Well done, Ryan.
