The Rock's Biggest Movies AfI (Complete)

Postby Kyle » Tue Jun 13, 2017 1:44 pm

The Adjusted for Inflation Bureau is stolen from poorpete (who first had the idea to make this a game here), who stole it from Doug Benson at Doug Loves Movies (which everyone should be listening to) who stole it from Sirius XM Radio host Ron Bennington. Here's the rules:

1- Post up with a movie of Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson that you think has the highest domestic box office gross adjusted for inflation. Thus, even though the new Star Wars movie is the highest grossing domestic earner, if we adjust for inflation, the title actually goes to Gone With the Wind. This includes cameos, if they are listed for the actor on boxofficemojo.

2- After you make a post- you can only guess again AFTER I HAVE TOLD YOU IF YOU ARE RIGHT AND HAVE AWARDED POINTS. Thus, if you make a guess- please don't guess again until I've acknowledged your guess.

3- Your guess must be done off the top of your head. No research. No googling. No referring to Imdb. Obviously, no referring to Box Office Mojo. Just use your brain.

4- This game is on the honor's system. But if you cheat, please understand that you're just ruining the game for everyone. There's nothing at stake. We're just all trying to have fun.

5- Points are awarded only for the top 20 movies of the actor, in reverse order of their place on the list. Thus, 1 point for the 20th movie. 20 points for the top movie. 5 points will be awarded to the person who guessed the lowest ranked movie of all the guesses. 10 points will be awarded if a person guesses the lowest ranked movie.

I will try to periodically update this first post with all the guesses, points awarded and standings.

I seriously don't think I've seen even one movie that this man has been in. But for a while I did have a really awesome app that played his voice in an inspirational commentary when you were trying to wake up in the morning.

Fast and Furious 6

(I'm a film statistics nerd, boxoffice mojo is in my top 10 visited site list, even though I'm down to only a few movies a year at this point)

Haha! Zen has fallen for one of the classic blunders--the most famous of which is: never get involved in a land war in Asia!
