While TWT and the spud slept, bigvalbowski stole the one available movie from last week's auction. And he still managed to lose a million.

This is Follywood.

1. Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone, $24m - TWTCommish
2. Behind Enemy Lines, $19m - bigvalbowski
3. Spy Game, $11 million - TWTCommish
4. Monsters, Inc., $9 million - TWTCommish
5. Black Knight, $5 million - spudracer
6. Shallow Hal, $4 million - bigvalbowski
7. Out Cold, $2 million - bigvalbowski
8. Domestic Disturbance, $1 million - bigvalbowski
9. Amelie, $1 million - Holden Pike (kidding)
10. Heist, $1 million - TWTCommish

TWTCommish had $270m, spent $0 and earned $45m leaving him with $315m. Guess who'll win this week

spudracer had $70m, spent $0 and earned $5m leaving him with $75m. When your only movie is Black Knight, you know you're in trouble

bigvalbowski had $37m, spent $20m and earned $26m leaving him with $43m. Getting closer and closer...

Here's the Table

1. TWTCommish - $315m
2. spudracer - $75m
3. bigvalbowski - $43m

If you're new to this and don't know how to play then you're an idiot, but we'll give you $20m to play with anyway.


Ocean's 11

MPAA Rating: PG-13 (for some language and sexual content)
Distributor: Warner Brothers
Production Company: Village Roadshow Pictures
Cast: George Clooney (Danny Ocean), Matt Damon (Linus Zerga), Andy Garcia (Harry Benedict), Brad Pitt (Dusty Ryan), Julia Roberts (Tess Ocean), Casey Affleck, Scott Caan, Don Cheadle (Roscoe Means), Angie Dickinson (cameo), Elliott Gould (Ruben Tischkoff), Eddie Jemison, Vladimir Klitschko, Lennox Lewis, Bernie Mac, Sydney Pollack (Reuben Tishkoff), Carl Reiner (Saul Bloom), Qin Shaobo Yowza, respect to the casting director
Director: Steven Soderbergh (Erin Brockovich, Out of Sight, The Limey, King of the Hill, Kafka, Sex Lies & Videotape; next up are Full Frontal, Solaris, and Che Guevara)
Screenwriters: Stephen W. Carpenter (debut), Ted Griffin (Best Laid Plans, Ravenous)
Based upon: The 1960 Rat Pack film starring Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Sammy Davis Jr., Peter Lawford, and plenty of their friends. In a 21st century version of the Rat Pack, the goal with this film is to assemble a cast of A-List stars that would probably not all get to work together in any other way. It's expected that most of the bigger stars will take fractions of their standard salaries for back-end profits.
Premise: A gangster by the name of Danny Ocean (Clooney) rounds up a gang of associates to stage heists of three major Las Vegas casino's (Bellagio, The Mirage, and Treasure Island) simultaneously during a popular boxing event.

I'll bid $11m ... Geddit?



I ain't gettin' in no fryer!
Well, I really don't like the fact that TWT outnumbers both me and val with tons of money, but I guess I have no choice.

12 mil...

Woo-hoo.

If Ocean's 11 doesn't gross $100m, I'll be very disappointed.

Classification:

Ocean's 11 - bigvalbowski - $35m

One more time.

Ocean's 11 - bigvalbowski - $35m

I bought the big one!



Next time I'm gonna bid way higher and muscle into it, knowing that I likely won't be there in time to re-bid. Either that or I'll start wearing a watch.
