Hey there, folks!

Now, first of all, don't panic. The Winter Season is still going ahead as planned. It starts tomorrow/Thursday, in fact! I know! It hasn't come around quickly in the slightest, has it? It'll run for 12 weeks starting this week and finishing with a Massive Thanksgiving Bonanza (TM)! So, don't worry, Screened is still the only place on the Internet in which you can take part in no-stakes betting on the week's movie releases with a bunch of strangers who, quite frankly, I much prefer the company of than anyone in my general vicinity and who I have to converse with on a daily basis. I think, I should probably check that out. If it's true, we have our new slogan!

But, on to more important matters: I, unfortunately, have plenty of prior commitments coming up over the next 12 weeks (almost all of which involve college because whilst I'm a fantastic MC and a rather decent/good writer, I absolutely suck when it comes to public education), so I won't be running the League this time around. If things look up next Summer (and if we're all still around next Summer, both due to the site's perpetual state of limbo and the incoming ArMEGAdon), I'll return to run it then, but for now I'll just be a competitor.

Which brings me to the reveal! At the end of last season, one user volunteered to run the League themselves this time if I could not and, thankfully, they were still willing to do so when I dropped this on them last weekend. As such, I present to you, your new Box Office Winners League... runner... guy: luck in running this operation and direct all of the violent complaints and accusations of bias that you'd normally send to me his way!

So, that about covers everything! If you have any questions, leave them underneath on this here thread. I'm online in some capacity all night, so me or will be more than happy to answer them! I'll see you tomorrow/Thursday for Round 1 of the brand new season! Thanks for reading!

I've been training in the off-season, going over old tapes. Think I can finally get a point?

(Probably not)

@alexpiercey: If you graduate from the zero dollar prediction to one dollar, you may stand a chance :P

I like that Mary Elizabeth Winstead has pretty much become the mascot for this thing.

Thanks for taking over

So... err... Week 1 starts tomorrow. It would've been up sooner but today has been... not great. Let me put it this way; it's good that @RockinKemosabe is taking over or this'd become "Watch Callum Breakdown Into Being A Self-Loathing Whiny Emo B*tch".

Week 1 SHOULD (emphasis on "should") be up for lunch UK time tomorrow. If not lunch, then tea UK time. The important part is that it'll be up and fun tomorrow despite... nothing coming out. (I swear this looked like more exciting a week when I checked at the end of last season...)

(End Comment withdrawn for, as quite rightly pointed out, it was stupid and rather slightly offensive)

@jackanderson: The L.A. Complex is a Canadian made show and I don't even watch it. And I think calling her a "mascot" is rather derogatory towards her.

Also, my goal is to have the weekend results Monday afternoon and the new week up that evening or Tuesday morning. That being said, it's my hope that I can get it on that sort of schedule. Thankfully has devised a rather sturdy structure to the League.

@RockinKemosabe I meant more as a symbol of all that is good and happy, but I see your point. Claim withdrawn.

Side note 1: You make me blush with that nice comment. Seriously.

Side note 2: You really should watch The L.A. Complex.
