 Re: Derby Game Discussion Thread Maybe throwing out Random Predix this month would be for the best. Trying to predict The Seeker and Heartbreak Kid certainly didn't work out, and they seem like the types of films that would be easier to predict than most of the openers this month.
Plus, random predix would be really fun.

Re: Derby Game Discussion Thread I wonder if we'll ever have a consecutive Derby winner? The best I can tell, it's never been done.

Yep, our very own matatonio did it once. digital pimp_2 actually won the first two weeks he played. And there are a few others (Brandon Gray, TIMBO, Jason Kaplan, and magicdreamer), but it hasn't happened since Mark did it. Also Scott had a 4-week stretch where he went 1-5-1-5. _________________Recent watched movies: American Hustle - B+ Inside Llewyn Davis - B Before Midnight - A 12 Years a Slave - A- The Hunger Games: Catching Fire - A- My thoughts on box office

Matatonio also holds the record for highest accuracy in a single game, at 97%. Wish I could have a round like that!

Every number looks so logical, every analysis makes perfect sense, and only to realize they're all b.s. by Friday night. _________________Recent watched movies: American Hustle - B+ Inside Llewyn Davis - B Before Midnight - A 12 Years a Slave - A- The Hunger Games: Catching Fire - A- My thoughts on box office

Re: Derby Game Discussion Thread No word on Omni. He told me he may be back either MON or TUES. But I haven't heard anything from him. I'm not thinking anything bad though. I mean, if I had to have heart surgery, I wouldn't really be caring about getting online anytime soon.So, I'll be solo once again.

Re: Derby Game Discussion Thread This weekend was the most sure , yet unsure entry I've ever entered.  Omni is okay, btw. Just needs some rest. He'll likely be back next weeked.

Re: Derby Game Discussion Thread 16th
Actuals prevented me from cracking the top 10.

Re: Derby Game Discussion Thread #8, nice but the regret is huge, since I was tempted to go with 13M on MC and 0.7 on TFS. *sighs* Congrats to Xia, Corpse, Scotty and DIB2  _________________

Re: Derby Game Discussion Thread Looks like we don't have to predict Nightmare and Sarah Landon.
Thanks God For That.

Re: Derby Game Discussion Thread Yes, another outstanding week for KJers - congrats to all who made the Top 50! You know if our average scores are low, many non-KJers have to really be struggling.
