“From hell’s heart, I stab at thee. For hate’s sake, I spit my last breath at thee.”

Some days, I really hate the movie-going public for watching schlock like Jack Jill…

Just wanted to say that I Did Not pick Immortals at #1 because Andrew didn’t (but if I’d realized that it was Relativity, I might have- sorry Andrew!)

BD, that’s EXACTLY why I put Immortals at #1. When I heard that Andrew had it at #4, I had picked it at #2. Then Jonathan reminded me it was a Relativity picture. Then I moved it to #1… it was the smart play.

Tony- it WAS the smart play. I just didn’t want Andrew to think we were ALL betting against him (though I easily could have ) 😛
