• Mamo #147: I think it was Octopussy

    Mamo!

    Before you do anything, feel free to pop over to blogTO.com to listen to Matt and Matt’s annual preview podcast for the Toronto International Film Festival!

    In podcast #147, the Matts look at the Basterds, and be basterds a bit themselves. Plus, fanboy backlash: why every single person who gripes about the  Avatar preview is embarrassing themselves.

    I don’t know what you are talking about Matt Brown, but you are leading the box office guessing contest! Here is my estimation of the current situation:

    Name Final Score
    Matt Brown 97
    GEHale 93
    Nicole 92
    Mike Rot 86
    Ashley 86
    Matthew Fabb 75
    Mad Percolator 71
    Ky 66
    Ralph 63
    Sameer Vasta 61
    Matt Price 60
    Kevin D 54
    Rusty James 45

    I whipped up a spreadsheet to calculate these scores which you can download here: http://rapidshare.com/files/274737456/BoxOffice.zip.html

    Of course the spreadsheet could be full of errors so use at your own risk, but if you just plug the dollars earned into the appropriate field for each movie, it should automatically calculate the current rankings and provide the winner whenever you close the contest.

    However, Matt’s lead is quite tenuous – Harry Potter is just half-a-million away from being more than $5 million over Matt’s guess of $290…

    I refuse to believe Nicole, someone I know on good authority to be far from a strategist and probably picked hers randomly, is beating me.

    also interesting question about who was your first onscreen character that triggered sexual desire and which has in some way informed your fantasies ever since.

    I gotta go with Elizabeth from WWF. However in a film, probably Sgt. Callahan from Police Academy, the wet t-shirt scene in particular.

    Marion from Raiders of the Lost Ark was probably my first love. Maybe that’s why I find myself more attracted to the whiskey-drinking, independent thinking, athletic brunettes than anything else..
