Pop vs Box awards

🎖️🎖️🎖️🥇🥇🥉
🏆
🗽

It is natural for popular rankings to be higher due to the influx of art house, international and straight to video releases.

Scoring (b-p)

10+ excellent
9 to -9 = good
-10 to -29 = avg
-30 to -49 = poor
-50 and below = very poor

Example

Heartburn B36 P57 = -21(avg)

Tally

Excellent (10pts each) = 8
Good (5pts each) = 13
Average (0pts each) = 6
Poor (-5pts each) = 3
Very poor (-10pts each) = 6
Pop top 20 bonus (5pts each) = 14

Wow terms of endearment was 16/14

Yet won the academy awards for:

Best Picture James L Brooks
Best Actress Shirley MacLaine
Best Actor Jack Nicholson
Best adapted screenplay James L Brooks
Best director James L Brooks

Tough year.

reply

Actually a good showing for popular rankings. Gainer of +2 in popular rank, given the movies genre (drama/comedy), which pop rank usually falls over time.

Have you posted this in GD yet?

reply

Nahh... I don't care much for replies to be honest on these.

I envisioned a library/baseball type of card that people could use to educate themselves on a actors filmography.

reply

Oh you should, I always find them fascinating.
