SUMMER MOVIE CONTEST 2010
Welcome to the Summer Movie Contest Web site for 2010! It's the rootinest, tootinest, wildest contest in the wilderness!
Another summer has come and gone and a hearty congratulations is due to this year's winner, Mike C.! In what
ended up being a wacky and difficult summer, he managed 36 points, a full 9 points ahead of our second place finisher.
And speaking of our second place finisher, long time player Fran repeats his feat from a few years ago and takes the silver
medal. Nice job fellas!
If you scroll down a tick, you'll find the FINAL top 20 movies of the summer. If you scroll down a tick or two past
that, you'll find all of our picks, final points, and ranks. I've included everyone's email addresses so that you can congratulate your neighbors
on their keen gross guessing skills or so that argue about whether or not Marmaduke or Cats and Dogs 2 is the best
talking animal movie of the year.
If you want to compliment Smokey (our contest founder), me (your web site host), and/or the contest, (and why wouldn't you) you
can email us here. Or if for some reason that link doesn't work for you, just use donald.wygal@gmail.com. And yes, I realize that
writing out my email address makes that first link unnecessary, but if you don't like it get your own web site and do what you
want with it. I'm sorry for snapping at you like that. I know it's not cool and I apologize.
If you want to get some idea for how this year's contest is going, the News is a good place to start. And if you happen to be
really lucky, you might even find some good info over at Smokey's Scratches.
If you have any questions relating to the Summer Movie Contest and how it all works, you might want to check out The Rules. You can
also check out past summer's contests by clicking the links above. Surprisingly, the "Contest 2009" link takes you to the page for
the Summer Movie Contest of 2009. I'll let you figure out the rest from there.
Most of all, enjoy the heck out of yourself!
