The Brunching Shuttlecocks * The Self-Made Critic
Summer Preview Contest presented by The Self-Made Critic & The Brunching Shuttlecocks

This is it, folks, the final results of our world-obscure Summer Contest. As we had hoped, the Self-Made Critic suffered a humiliating defeat. Or it would be humiliating, if it were possible for the Critic to feel humility.

Craig Jackson has generously volunteered to donate his T-Shirt to the fourth runner-up, on the grounds that he already has one. He is taking the Combat Claw Godzilla, though. We'll be contacting the winners through e-mail.

To the rest of you, thanks for playing and remember: you lose.

Editor's Note:

Scoring is as follows:

Points are awarded based on how close you got to the actual top ten films of the summer. 10 points for correctly guessing a movie's final place, 8 points for being one off (You said it'd be #7 and it was #6 or #8) , 6 points for being 2 places off, etc. Movies not in the top ten get no points.
