Re: Image Game Tournament 2018 - DISCUSSION THREAD - DO NOT POST GUESSES HERE

I'm definitely in for the mid-year tournament, and would totally be willing to provide images for one or more rounds. (I sent phil a DM going in to more detail.) I like the idea of awarding players the average score from a round, it's probably the simplest solution and it theoretically shouldn't giv...

Re: Image Game Tournament 2018 - DISCUSSION THREAD - DO NOT POST GUESSES HERE

Maaxwell, please tell me you didn't get that last round right because of the list I posted. Because, if so, it was my own generosity that cost me the 4th place finish. No good deed goes unpunished, indeed.

Re: Image Game Tournament 2018 - DISCUSSION THREAD - DO NOT POST GUESSES HERE

I spent two hours doing the same thing as Maaxwell but only got about a third of the way through the list before giving up. If it helps anyone these are all the films from the bottom third of Popularity 10 films which have been ranked by only one player in the tournament. Exam (2009) Antitrust (2001...

Re: For which years have you seen every Best Picture Nominee?

For Me, it's 2010, a year in which I specifically tried to watch all the Best Picture nominees before the Oscar ceremony. There are several years were I'm short by only one, though.

How about as a prize, we can let the winner be the one to restart the normal guess the image the thread after the tournament is finished? it's not much, but atleast it's something.

Re: Alternate Universe Oscars for Best Picture

I already posted a list of all my Oscar picks going back to 1927 in an older thread in the forum, which I'm not going to repost in its entirety here, but going back to 1990: 1990 - GoodFellas (nom) - Martin Scorsese 1991 - The Silence of the Lambs ( Oscar ) - Jonathan Demme 1992 - Unforgiven ( Oscar...

Re: Image Game Tournament 2018 - DISCUSSION THREAD - DO NOT POST GUESSES HERE

I can only speak for myself. I haven't seen the movie, and the order of images 2/3 probably would not have mattered. From just one of those images, I would have guessed (and did in fact guess) that it was a cheesy/funny movie. But that wasn't enough for me to narrow it down. Once I saw the third im...

Re: Summary of 2017 viewing

I'm not going to argue that there is a "right" or "wrong" way to rank films, because of course, no such thing exists. It just seemed strange to me that someone would rank films they hadn't seen and I wanted to know the reasons behind it, I would never rank I had never seen, but h...

Re: Summary of 2017 viewing

Yeah, but I just don't watch the film, then. I don't rank it a zero (or any score). Why, when the information you have shows that it's awful? Do you always sit through a whole movie before you rate it? If you leave half way through, do you not rate it? Yeah, generally I only rank films after I've s...
