Just to be 100% certain...the BK leagues are in the Ultimate format, NOT Box Office format, right???

I'm ready to die! I mean, I'm ready for battle!

Suggestion: a running commentary on the events, just like the Olympics. You know, to talk about strategy and your favorites and what not (like this season's Speed Racer).

That is what this thread is for. Basically you can say whatever the hell you want.

Most importantly though, we need TRASHTALK!! That's right people give it to your opponents.

Barca, I'm glad you went ahead with the 1-vs-1 matchup...should be much more fun that way I think. And thanks again for setting this up.

Woohoo, this is gong to EPIC! Though Ultimate will be a bit of a gong show for me seeing as I just started playing it last month in preparation for this. But whatever, it'll still be fun. Can't wait!!!

The Rules of Bankruptcy

For those who are unfamiliar with 'Fantasy Bankrupts,' you're in for a treat. A great source of irreverent fun, 'Fantasy Bankrupts' ultimately makes you a better player by getting you to think critically about what movies are 'good bets' and what movies are 'bad bets.' But enough of the boring stuff, 'Fantasy Bankrupts' is about trying to pick a bunch of movies that suck and to have the worst slate possible!

In traditional Ultimate Moguls you are trying to score as many points as possible in four categories. In 'Bankrupts' if you score any points at all then you should hang your head in shame. Spend at least $95 and pick EIGHT movies. If you don't spend at least $95 or pick 8 movies, you are disqualified. If one of your movies has it's release date changed, you must fill the spot with a replacement. Do you think that 'The Mummy 3' is going to be a failure? Put your money where your mouth is. Think that 'Blindness' doesn't have a hope of scoring iMDb or PTA? Here's your chance to look like a genius. Pick bad bets show the Fantaverse that you have the right instinct for finding the over-priced, the over-hyped and the unlikely. A bent game with straight forward rules, 'Fantasy Bankrupts' is my bet to be the most entertaining of the three FantaLympic events! May your slates be terrible!

The Thunder?

Meanwhile, I can see Blindness flopping. The trailers make it look too much like a horror film. Remember when Disney made the same mistake with Dark Water three years ago? Not good.

Not to mention who is distributing it. The Weinstiens have a way of screwing up limited releases. They did it to The Promotion and to I'm Not There. They'll do it to this as well

They'll probably open it on something like 150 screens, which means too big for PTA scores, and not big enough for anything else really.

Yup, there are much much better and cheaper options then The Blindness.

Miramax is wholly Disney now. So Blindness isn't Weinstein.

Man I was really excited scrolling down until I saw the "random" draws.

Ash?!

Are you fucking kidding me?!!?

Barca, I just see this scenario where you are picking numbers and pull my name and remember all those times I made fun of you and called you my arch nemesis and a tiny plan was formed. It's like we had this great war going on between Hulk and the Leader and then Hulk pulled the bait and switch and next thing the Leader knows he is stuck in a room, unarmed against Superman. Well shit...

Roodey:
I love that we've got a couple of real slug fest! Shryke vs numbersix? hoo! Anny and J.I. is gonna be good and I'm getting giddy just thinking about the box office duel between box office specialists delfinasu and Dranscht. Ashkul and Donte will be classic, if only for what is certain to be top notch trash talking, 


And now that I am over the shock there are some interesting match-ups. And, there will be trash talk. Oh yes, there will be...

Damn this is going to be a lot of fun. Good job on Barca for putting this together.

And sorry Ash but I am going to beat you so bad you will be begging to immigrate to the US for asylum.

I was kinda hoping i would get you. Nothing better than to trounce your nemesis in front of everyone else...

I guess Ash will have to do it for me then..
