The Syndicate

Nice work, DH. You earned it. Mongoose, you're a rookie legend! Both of you prevented timmer from steamrolling again, which is honestly what I most expected. You had another great showing yourself though, timothy.

I'll take consecutive Oscars round appearances I suppose.

Perhaps if we can convince other regulars that this is extremely simple, we could inspire more activity. S~V~S would be a super addition.

Hahahahahaha

11 BAFTA noms with zero wins for The Irishman. Damn.

Aaaaay Maleficent 2 got a point!

At least I can feel like I either won the first round of the draft or fell just short of Mongoose.

I only have one thing accumulating any points. I deserve to die.

The next two rounds will be good days to die.

I think we should tweak the rules however necessary to put me in the lead.

suckling at the irishman's teet

Surprised The Report got anything. Seemed quite mediocre to me.

Works for me, timmer! Thanks.

I feel alright about that positioning. Middle-of-the-pack in box office entirely via a small handful of act[ors]/[resses]. I was hoping my films would carry the awards load.

But who knows, still largely a crapshoot.

When in doubt, just assume JaggedJimmyJay is the best.

Good matchup this year, gang. I think it was generally "timmer knows what he's doing and everybody else could be randomized", and perhaps we'll take those lessons into the next go.

Thanks for all the hard work, timmer!

Bronze medal at the minimum. I am basically the greatest.

Glad I did something right.

How can I possibly still be alive?

Surprised First Reformed only landed one nomination for anything.

I am satisfied with my aimless performance.

I guess I'm hanging in there.

Y'all ready to be crushingly demoralized?

You're gonna lose. I'm gonna win.

You have been smack-talked by JaggedJimmyJay.

I keep seeing and hearing nothing whatsoever about Beale Street, but the release date is still sitting in November.

Yeah it doesn't strike me as your kind of movie, not enough grit. The critics love it though, if you like rom-coms.

I think I was put off by the wealth and glamour. That lifestyle makes me retch. That was kind of the point to some degree though, so it’s all groovy.

I just saw that movie. It made me squirm in my seat.

I saw The Darkest Minds today, and I predict that movie will net me a grand total of zero points.

"This fall"

Better be!

I'm also seeing 30 November. Get it right, fartfaces.

Beale Street seems to be showing an initial release for 11 January.

Don't mind me, I'll be putting together my ransom note.

Minor issue, but in the November movies you have Rami and Jude colored red instead of purple.

timmer seems to be sitting pretty in a relatively safe box office position with no films yet. Lots of room for awards.

Gotta give everyone a chance to thwart my title defense.

*candlelight vigil for Iron Dwarf*

I saw it yesterday. It was alright. That kind of thing usually doesn't do a lot for me.

It's nice. I feel like I can snore through the first round.

timmer wrote: ↑Sun May 20, 2018 10:02 pm Oh is brad pitt in deadpool 2?

No one will win this playing nice. It's fucking cut throat. But the rules are clear man I'm sorry.

Fwiw the single most profitable actor pick last year? Stan Lee.

Thanks for the updates timmer! I just want to ensure you saw the last few switcharoos in the transaction thread -- may want to check.

Golden wrote: ↑Wed May 30, 2018 1:15 am Like literally fan reactions to Star Wars make zero sense to me. Rogue One is the worst of the four and the Last Jedi the best, both my a mile, in my opinion. Both in terms of artistic merit and Star Wars merit.

I'd rank the Disney four as follows: The Last Jedi > The Force Awakens > Rogue One > Solo

I thought Solo was close to awful, and I’d consider it a valid candidate for being the worst Star Wars movie.

Yes I think it looks pretty terrible.

Yes. Yes you are.

Hey timmer, could you stick a link to the spreadsheet in the OP of this thread? Would be super groovy.

It's a crapshoot.
