Auction Game thread 1: Filthy & BSBall vs Amazing Ervin & LukeTheFluke - Page 3

I couldn't answer because it could have made it unfair for other team since bids were over- sorry filthy.

I'd have answered if it was still the bidding round.

yeah i really can't understand people liking this movie. to me, it seems like the emperor has no clothes.

i mean it really seems like parody it's so bad! lol! but i probably was feeling incredibly cynical and smug when i watched it. it was when it first came out on cable, so like a year after the release. i just remember thinking it was trying way too hard to be noir and film school good

but a lot of people loved it, so i'm probably wrong lol

np bud. if we win any more rounds, it's probably all you lol

for future bidding, i guess we just bid how many we think we can get as an individual?

that's what i did for this one. it seemed like i knew more than you, so i just took over the bidding.

good job filthy and bsball

I'm thinking AE and I wouldn't have got there so our only hope was you being full of it, or getting you to bid higher than you could do, which seems tough if you do know a lot of his films

How is this for you AE? I’d say this is a reasonably strong area for me. Open the bidding at 8?

Yea previous one I don't think we woulda gotten, I've seen almost all of those movies but didn't realize some were Scorsese

8 seems like fine place to start the bidding

Yeah 11 is fine but starting to get uncomfortable…think we’re beyond the obvious ones at this point and having to think through the order we guess in

11
