3. Prince of Persia
4. Inception
5. Toy Story 3
6. Shrek Forever After
7. Sex and the City 2

[wideawakewesley]

The Weekly Geekly hosts are also going to get in on the act and I can safely say that we're going to take TRS and Slashfilm down to Chinatown! Expect our picks on Monday's show, but I'll post them here as soon as we're done.

Bring it on radlings!

[pruben]

I've been way too long away from the forums. Been busy.


I remember last years Summer Wager, and it was fun. I'm suprised no one has mentioned Jonah Hex.

Here's my list for the summer 2010:
1. Toy Story 3
2. Iron Man 2
3. The Twilight Saga: Eclipse
4. Shrek Forever After
5. Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time
6. Inception
7. The Last Airbender
8. Sex and the City 2
9. Knight & Day
10. MacGruber

Dark Horses:
1. The A-Team
2. Predators
3. The Expandables

[dangarf]

1. Iron Man 2
2. Toy Story 3
3. Twilight Eclipse
4. Prince of Persia
5. Shrek Forever After
6. Sex and the City 2
7. Grown Ups
8. A-Team
9. Secretariat
10. Inception

Dark Horses:
1. Robin Hood
2. The Soccer's Apprentice
3. Avatar the Last Airbender

Notes-
I feel pretty good about this list. I think that Pixar always wins with it's movie over Dreamworks both in quality and in money taken in. Also surprised that no one on the episode mentioned Grown Ups which has Sandler, Kevin James, and Chris Rock. And I put Secretariat up there because Sea Biscuit and The Blindside did so well.

[tsmith15]

Can't do this because IM2 already came out, disappointed I missed out on another chance to whoop everyone.

[nshady]

Iron Man had already come out when we made our lists too.

[primedawg]

just take iron man out this way its fair

and whatever position it lands at the end of the summer just bump the movie under it to its spot

[stubadub]

Iron Man had already been screened and the word was already out on the crowd reaction before the TRS and Slashfilm gang did their wager. It's only one weekend in for Iron Man 2, and it's not like at this point it's made any more or less than was expected, right? I think if you get your list in before this next weekend everything is fair.

1) Iron Man 2
2) Toy Story 3
3) Shrek
4) A-Team
5) Prince of Persia
6) Twilight
7) The Last Airbender
8) Sex and the City 2
9) The Sorcerer's Apprentice
10) Knight and Day

Dark Horse:

I don't know if you're being serious or facetious, but I meant The Last Airbender.

[nshady]

I also thought Cameron's Avatar for a second.

[quantumtheory]

I don't know if you're being serious or facetious, but I meant The Last Airbender.

I was being serious... I actually never thought for a second that you meant The Last Airbender. Brain fart I guess... made myself use to excluding "avatar" from the last airbender so I didnt get confused between them

[heyseuss]

I don't know if you're being serious or facetious, but I meant The Last Airbender.

Challenge accepted! Can the Brits out do the Yanks on their own turf?

;)

All four of the Weeky Geekly hosts have made their picks:

http://www.weeklygeekly.co.uk/weekly-geekly-podcast/2010/5/18/weekly-geekly-podcast-35.html

[tsmith15]

In addition to our movie picks, how about we guess which host (including Peter Slashfilm) will win?

My money is on Peter, just because he and I have an extremely similar list from 1-7.

[dangarf]

Peter's totally going to win. Alex and Jeff both had Robin Hood on their lists...

[isajeep]

Here's my list. I did pretty good last year. I don't feel nearly as strong about my list this year, as I only have a vested interest in 3 or 4 of my top 10 flicks.


1. Shrek 3
2. Toy Story 3
3. Twilight 3
4. Iron Man 2
5. The Last Airbender
6. Sex & the City 2
7. Inception
8. Knight & Day
9. The A-Team
10.The Sorcerer's Apprentice


DH1. Karate Kid
DH2. Macgruber
DH3. Scott Pilgrim vs. The World

You can ignore this part, it's only there for personal reminder when I come back to this thread at the end of the Summer. It's just a conversation I had with my gf, when she told me I "sealed my fate to the losers circle" by not having Sex & the City at #1 or #2.

isajeep: Well I'm about to post my list, I'll make note of your arguments, so that I can remember to rub them in your face when you lose.
Keiva: and if i win?
isajeep: ...you'll never remember, and I'll never bring it up

[skin87]

I wish I could do this. I did well last year, but I am fresh out of Navy boot camp and I have no idea what is going on. I didn't even find out about that oil spill thing until this weekend, let alone entertainment news.

[zombierin]

4 shrek forever after
5 sex and the city

According to SlashFilm, MacGruber is going to bomb this weekend. Alex had that as three on his list.

I hope it bombs, it's not on my list. :D

[tsmith15]

Bit of an update with weekend estimates in.

this weekend:
Shrek 4
Sex and the City 2
Prince of Persia
Iron Man 2
Robin Hood

So right now Iron Man 2, Shrek 4, and SATC2 are the top 3. This is exciting, my list still looks good :)

[dangarf]

I had Sex and Persia before Shrek on my list. Ugh oh...

[wideawakewesley]

The current takings are interesting:

[tsmith15]

Ugh, bad year.

[scoobydiesel]

honestly im very happy to see Inception so high on the list.

[johnnevets]

Well I got curious about what was going on with this, so I looked at timetravelers site. I looked down the list and didn't see how any of the movies could move, so I started doing the math. When I got all done, I looked at the list Wesley posted, and saw that Salt toppled Robin Hood. Guess there are still some movers.

That being said, it looks some got it a whole lot more right then others.
