2016 Summer Movie Challenge

Weather is turning warm, which means it's time for this years summer movie challenge.  Rules are the same as last year but here's a recap:

You pick what you think will be the top 10 domestic grossing movies of the summer from highest grossing to 10th highest grossing.  The trick is trying to correctly predict where every movie lands on the list.  3 dark horse picks are added for incentive points.  The domestic totals are tallied through and ends on Labor Day (September 5th).

RULES:

Getting number 1 and/or number 10 dead-on gets you 13 points each.

The rest of the scoring goes like this:
  • 10 points for numbers 2-9 dead-on
  • 7 points if your pick was only 1 spot away from where it ended up
  • 5 points if it was 2 spots away
  • 3 points if your pick is anywhere in the Top 10
  • 1 point for each dark horse that makes it into the Top 10
The scoring is tabulated so that you get the SINGLE HIGHEST point value for each pick.  For example, if you get number 1 or 10 right, you don't get 13 points for getting it dead on AND 3 points for it being in the top 10.  You only get 13 points.

The movies eligible for this challenge, in order of release, are the following:

  • Captain America: Civil War
  • The Angry Birds Movie
  • Alice Through The Looking Glass
  • X-Men: Apocalypse
  • Popstar: Never Stop Never Stopping

2016 Comic Book Movie Challenge

Every year, I get a group of friends together to join me in the Summer Movie Challenge where we vie to determine who can most accurately guess the order of the highest box office releases, for bragging rights. This year, there will be 8 comic book movie releases and I thought it would be fun to create a separate challenge for them. But while the Summer Movie Challenge only runs from May through August, this challenge will be a year long event.

If you received this blog post via email, then you have been exclusively selected to participate but are under no obligation to do so.  It's all for fun.

The movies in this challenge are:

Deadpool - February 12


Batman v Superman: Dawm of Justice - March 25


Captain America: Civil War - May 6


X-Men: Apocalypse - May 27


Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows - June 3


Suicide Squad - August 5


Doctor Strange - November 4



Similar to last summers challenge, we'll be following the SlashFilmCast model of a point based system. If you're new to the challenge or have forgotten how it works, you only have to put the movies in order of how you believe they will do at the box office from highest to lowest. Due to the limited amount of movies in this challenge, the point based rules will be slightly truncated. They are as follows...
  • 13 points each for getting #1 or #7 dead on
  • 10 points each for getting #2-6 dead on
  • 7 points each if your pick is 1 spot away from your guess
  • 5 points each if your pick is 2 spots away from your guess
And that's it.  Keep in mind this will only be for domestic grosses.  All entries MUST be in by February 11th and I would prefer if email was the way they were submitted. This way, if there is any dispute on picks submitted, email is the best method to fast check. Do not share your opinions until after entries have been submitted.  Remember, it's competitive. Once all entries are in, I will update this blog entry to post them. 

And here are our picks:

New York Comic Con 2015 - Day 4

To say the 4th and final day was a disappointment is an understatement.  Unofficially touted as "kids day", Sundays are always crowded but they have never rivaled Saturdays.  I have never seen so many people.   Getting around was almost impossible which caused many missed opportunities for some cool cosplay pics.

My friend Joey turned me on to a comics podcast around 4-5 years ago called the 11 O'Clock Comics Podcast.  The hosts attend the New York Comic Con every year and I was hoping to meet them and have a picture taken.  Although I spent the better part of 2 days on the look out, I wasn't successful in finding them.  Next year, I'll have to hang with Joey who always gets to see them.

Finally, I wanted to meet Dan Slott who is the current Spider-Man writer.  After reaching out to Mr. Slott on Saturday via twitter, he responded that he'd be at a booth at 3pm Sunday.  I didn't want to stay that long on the final day but I would just to meet him.  Unfortunately, after making the line and only being the 7th person, he decided he couldn't stay because he had popped a filling and was in pain.  So while I managed to take a few pics of him while on line, I'll have to wait for next year to greet him and get a signature.

So, pretty disappointing final day for me.  I did manage to purchase some Funko Pop figures and pins for some of the kids in the residential building where I work.  Also picked up some t-shirts for my kids and nephews.

New York Comic Con 2015 - Day 3

I decided to take day 2 of Comic Con off to recuperate from all the penguin walking of day 1 and prepare for what is always the best/worst day of the 4.  Thankfully, the rest helped and it wasn't as bad as past Saturdays.

I spend most of day 3 making purchases (more on that later) but I did take some cosplay pics, though not many.
