sounds good. So @filthy, of course we don't want them to know exactly how many movies we think we can guess.

why don't we start with a relatively low number and go from there? let me know your thoughts

9

I’ll keep this moving and bid 14. It may or may not be a good category for me. Anything you want to say about it for you AE?

Sure, happy to pass if you want, unless that’s part of a bluff from you? Not certain I’d get to 17 on my own anyway, so will let you bold pass or go higher if you get some inspiration.

Yeah, you can do it however you want (but discuss in thread). Only bolded answers will be calculated so if you are unsure you can put them down without worrying.

I'll let you know if you get them wrong.

Feel free to put more than one in a post at a time
