If you're reading this you are obviously a person of impeccable taste and chances are you're at least a half a notch better looking than those around you. You've found the Summer Movie Contest for 2008!
Well another Summer has come and gone and another Summer movie contest has come to an end. Congratulations to long-time player and first time winner Nicole! She strolled to victory with a hearty 41 points; 11 points more than the second place finisher. A dominant victory indeed. She was extremely close to getting points in about 10 other instances and could have set the record had things been slightly different. Well done!
Congrats are also in order for Sean who nicely racked up 30 points which was good enough for the silver medal (no actual medal will be awarded). We had three people tie for 3rd with 25 points, so honorable mentions go to Melissa, Russ (last year's winner) and Smokey (multiple winner who bounced back after his last place finish a year ago).
Thanks everyone for playing and we'll see you all when we do this again next May! Your assignment until then is to recruit at least one more player for the game. Good Luck!
The FINAL Top 20 movies of the Summer are listed below and below that are all of our picks, final scores and final rankings. As usual, I've included each person's email address in case you want to say, "congratulations on picking so well on Iron Man" or "let's go see Space Chimps this weekend" to one of your fellow players.
If you're confused as to what this is all about, you might want to check out The Rules or you can click on one of the links above to past contests dating back to the year 2000 (golly!).
You can also find incredibly insightful information on the current summer by reading The News or by checking out Smokey's Scratches where the founder of our little contest tells you how he thinks you're doing.
If you have any questions or suggestions or you just want to say, "hi", you can Contact Us or send an email to tyranny4u@pipeline.com.
As always, please play responsibly.
