The Syndicate

Hmm, add 2 director spots, drop 2 actor spots? Could work, for sure, if people want it.

I've updated the spreadsheet up to Thursday and congrats to DH for moving out of the hot seat!

Oooooo... no shit? Ok, I'll put him back! And hey, out of fairness, I sat on that for 48 hours to let someone else grab him, lol.

Drop Michael B. Jordan
Add: Joe Pesci

(The Irishman never reported any box office yet, so this should be legal)

Spreadsheet is updated, with DH currently sitting in the hot seat...

Nope, once an actor is in a film while on your roster, they lock!

Add Adam Sandler

Unfortunately, Ms. Portman locked onto your roster on October 4th when Lucy in the Sky opened.

I think on my movie site I'm not going to make it out of the box office round this year

Got it!

I'm on holidays, these changes will show up in the spreadsheet aoon

Drop Edward Norton
Add eddie Murphy

Drop Harriet
Add Dolemite is my name

I don't remember having Annette Bening? We did discuss last year how the rules work with picking people up after their films have opened, though.

No, but she won't qualify for awards for The Farewell, either. The actor has to be on your roster when the film opens to give you anything at all, so she's kind of useless to have at this point. If you still want her, lmk.

Add Shuzhen Zhou

You know The Farewell already came out, so she won't qualify for it, right?

Now we're getting serious!

Drop Jamie Foxx
Add Edward Norton

To be fair to it, Pitt would have had a better chance if the Tarantino hadn't just come out, and it WILL get some effects nods etc. so anyone with a free spot on their roster should pick it up.

It's that time... sorry y'all already lost.

Drop Kristen Stewart
Drop Dev Patel

Add Johnathan Pryce
Add Anthony Hopkins

Drop Ad Astra
Add Marriage Story

TBH, it kind of looks like shit, lol. I only picked it up for some side points from the costume guilds etc. if I make it that far.

Drop The Mule
Add Mary, Queen of Scots

Oh I know lol but what else is there

Drop Ad Astra.

Pick up The Mule.

All I know is everyone came out of the premiere at tiff convinced this would be huge. It has a simplistic pablum like message about race with likable stars and a fun story say hello to crash, the blind side, driving miss daisy....

drop the front runner
add green book

drop tilda swinton
add mahershala ali

drop lucas hedges
ad viggo mortensen

Yeah I'd have held it if I thought it could win some Best Animated Film points for me but I'm sure its destiny is to be nominee filler with no wins...

Oh, and drop Wreck it Ralph 2, add The Front Runner.

I think everything is up to date.

Dumping Russell Crowe for Tilda Swinton

Dropping Emma Stone. Picking up Russell Crowe.

I may have been attempting to shake the film loose lol

I... hmm... I thought this would look... better.

I'm going to prob regret this but I absolutely NEED to find room on my roster for Rachel Weisz, so....

I dump Claire Foy and pick up Rachel Weisz.

In which case I drop Mahershala Ali but not Armie Hammer, and I pick up Emma Stone, but not Rachel Weisz. To be absolutely technically correct, I did pickup Rachel Weisz and am now dropping her to properly pick up Emma Stone.

Golden wrote: ↑Thu Jul 12, 2018 6:02 pm Isn't Armie Hammer locked in already?

Oh shit, you are correct. I had forgotten to link his box office on my roster so it looked like he was available to dump.

Dropping Nutcracker. Picking up The Favourite.

Dropping Armie Hammer. Picking up Emma Stone.

Dropping Mahershala Ali. Picking up Rachel Weisz.

Should be all caught up in the spreadsheet.

Pick up Ethan Hawke.
So this is the second instance of an actor being picked after they already starred in a movie and thus started generating box office. First Reformed opened three weeks ago. If such moves are actually legal, then I don't see how the game can run fairly.

The rule is pretty clear. An actor only generates box office and awards if their film opens while they are on your roster. No on't can ever get retroactive box or awards.

In other news Rico has withdrawn from the game. I'll just leave his roster as it is and we will let his roster exist as a ghost player.

And I'm switching again, fro Suspiria to Nutcracker and the Four Realms

Argh... switching back from hereditary to suspiria.

I'm dropping Suspiria and picking up Hereditary.

Someone studied the spreadsheet...

Mindy Kaling, Alec Baldwin, Keira Knightley alla dded to the spreadsheet.

It got meh reviews as it is, I don't think it's going anywhere, tbh.

Done!

I'm expecting it to get an awards eligibility run in NY/LA at the end of the year.

I'm dropping Tommy Lee Jones and picking up Armie Hammer.
