Draft 24 movies.

I'm still in favor of the budgets, think it's more strategy that way, but at the same time I understand Dev's point about them getting out of control.... so We'll go with whatever the group decides.

Put me down as a maybe. I think the budget is probably unnecessary, but if we have one it needs to be quite a bit higher than in previous drafts.

[The Canadian Content]

I'll play under whatever rules.

I see the point for either scrapping or raising the budget, but I think keeping it prevents people from drafting only blockbusters and sort of forces us to draft older movies that cost a lot less to make. Could provide some variety to the proceedings.

In and will run it when (not if) SG bails.

Make the budget $1B (easier maths).

Beyond wanting the option to draft the entire MCU, the other issue with the budgets is all of the movies we've found previously with no budget information listed. I really don't want to dig deep and do research. I just wanna draft and get annoyed at the shit that wins.

Like you don't know the budget for Bring It On.

I have no idea what the budget issue is,but since I'm a glutton for punishment I am in.

28 million

I think I am with Dev, finding budgets sounds like a pain. If you want it to be less "Pick all the recent blockbusters" make it a thing to pick a movie from the 70s 80s 90s and 2000s, or at least one G, PG, PG13 and R or somethig comprable.

Not sure if I am in

You're in.

Also, you're asking people to do research anyway when it comes to ratings.

Well OK then.

True, but a checklist is easier than math. (especially BMMath) Ratings and release dates are simple to figure out. From watching these before, budgets are not universally reported nor reported accurately on all platforms.

Is it overall budget or just salary?

This crazy site called Wikipedia lists the budgets....go...go look...so if its just budget you have it. If its salary than that really doesn't sound that hard via Mr. Google

[L!zz~]

But considering Solky's strange way of doing brackets, his idea of math might be skewered as well..

IIRC, in the past there were different budgets listed at different sites I think IMDB was considered the official number, but there was a film or two with nothing listed

Than have an official Googler who must average three sites

The only thing that got skewered was your network.

Hey, that joke isn't old or anything.


And not every budget is on Wikipedia. We've done this draft a few times and I know there have been a few older movies that have no budget listed anywhere at all.

I'll keep my opinion and thoughts to myself.
