@snoble Some kind of alternate rating would be interesting. I will think about that.

@DoubleHelping Yeah, #10 is very often a crucial pick.

[Summer Movie Wager @SumMovieW]

I assigned points for the Top 10 movies in each list this way: #1: 10pts, #2: 9pts, ..., #10: 1pt. These pts were summed up across all lists into a total score. Horses were used as tie breakers. The Top 13 scoring movies make up are the average list.

We are off to the races…

[Summer Movie Wager @SumMovieW]

@SinclairWill Thanks for the information. It has been adjusted in the meantime.

[Scott Mendelson @ScottMendelson]

A mix of less-conventional tentpoles like MICHAEL, DEVIL WEARS PRADA 2, THE ODYSSEY and DISCLOSURE DAY, *plus* new SPIDER-MAN, TOY STORY, MINIONS and STAR WARS movies, *and* a slew of non-tentpole counterprogrammers of varying genres and scale from every studio?!
Game on!

@jamesgoux The issues started way past the deadline. Notice that the deadline is in Pacific Daylight Time. To state in relative terms, you wrote this tweet ~20 hours after the deadline has already passed.

[Summer Movie Wager @SumMovieW]

Only ~1 day left.

It's almost time for the @SumMovieW.

I'd love to say that I spend hours toiling over my list. But often I make the list, switch two or three things, and then it's done. 10 minutes. Tops.

Not locked in till next week though, so we'll see.
