Do it at your own peril. I don't think Jesus will bring him anything, if award farts will care about Taxi Driver 2049 I will be... mildly impressed, and both of those are already in the past, so no pennies.

Oh, and Gus van Sant... lol.

Christian Bale

Two more ppl left to steal my thunder hnn *holds on to his own butt*

Also I wish my man Gilliam well, but Don Quiche doesn't look that great.

tldr

Mary Poppins Returns will score one week of Christmasy box office, probably credible enough, and will be a sure nominee at the Globes, unless it's a complete stink.

I would have not picked it, however, even at the cost of the entire competition, due to how despicable I find the notion of it even existing. There's milking every past classic in the history of cinema and there's making a sequel out of Mary Poppins. Fuck you, Hollywood.

I don't know why this comment was necessary, even if joking.

Did I disparage you, good sir?

Eh fuk

It starts from 1 to 10 again, Mister 9.

In other words, we're taking another 24 hour break?

I'd consider throwing in a Rico Award and Bonus Points (let's say 10) for whoever would guess & pick what this year's movie to be shoved in Globes' Comedy category for no earthly logical reason will be.

tbh I have trouble with 2017 movies yet to be released in the US in 2018 because a) how the heck am I supposed to know and b) who will care about these anymore

On that account, Mowgli.

In the Upside Down, maybe.

I would never kid myself with being able to predict awards, because:

a) no real fun or value in guessing what a cohort of geezers at some academy or association, most of which have been long revealed to have little idea or care what they actually select, will consider, not to mention which films would get shoved for one week in some theater in LA just to be eligible for awards

b) no real fun or value hyping award movies out of which 80% of them will surely suck

Yeah, Mimi Leder is a close friend of mine and she told me she's too busy playing Dominion to wrap up On the Basis of Sex by the end of the year.

Widows's is openeing against Fantastic Beasts, so I hope you make enough box office for it to count in the Awards Rounds. Assuming it gets any.

Speaketh the one whose latest pick is the least money-grabbing pick out of four movies set to open in its respective week.

A noir-thriller with Gerard Butler, Jeff Bridges, That Girl From 50 Shades, Jon Hamm, and the director of Cabin in The Woods.

Versus "Not Spider-Man, The Other One", "Bradley Cooper's Sing Along Time" and "Remember Unbroken? Here's another one of those that people def. want to watch."

My apologies. By latest I meant the second to latest. Flip of the page, stuff.

Leave it to Solo to up the challenge of making any real big money by releasing a second trailer that's even worse and more non-descript than the first.

- Venom
- Spider Man: Into the Spider-verse

Hopefully the "superhero movies perform well" notion that I have (as a person extremely uninformed re: movies) isn't too far off from the mark.

Oof, lotta supereggs in that superbasket.

The second one gets released December 14.

Nickels.

someone being allowed to jump back in whenever available (by the gamemaker or a player in line itself) is not the same thing as actually being next in line

Sorry if I have speedread the rules, but do actors bring me boxoffice points during the May-December stretch if the movies they're in are not among my five drafted?
