Who wants in?
The following is taken from Bill Simmons' latest article, which you can read in full here:

"Some junkies are ahead of the curve. Take Matthew Berry, who runs "The Talented Mr. Roto" Web site. He belongs to a movie league. Berry and his friends bid on any film that is scheduled to be released over the course of a year, their stats coming in categories like most weeks spent in the top-five grosses, total box office and Oscar nominations. According to Berry, someone spent nearly half his cap ($260) on "The Da Vinci Code" in February. Wow. When he griped to me that one of his big sleepers, "Akeelah and the Bee," opened poorly, I was hooked. Yes, I need to belong to a fantasy movie league, if only so I can spend $45 on "Snakes on a Plane" and taunt someone because he overpaid for Vin Diesel's next movie. This sounds fun. This sounds dangerous, potentially life-threatening. This sounds like something for me."

Motherfucker! Why didn't we think of this first?! So who wants in on a movie pool? We can work out the details once we've got some people interested. I am excited for this shit.
