The Winter Topical
Discussion & Predictions

PancakeBrah · 02-10-2014, 02:08 PM

Magazine will be up tomorrow night or Wednesday night at the latest.

Sorry for the brief delay.

Eŋg · 02-10-2014, 02:41 PM

black/vulgar -- final.

oats · 02-10-2014, 02:42 PM

I got you @Pancake

Dead man wins in a close one, I expect nigma to come out of his mind and make it a nail biter.

Vulgar Lars all comes down to who executes better. Lars has the edge mechanically, vulgar conceptually, so to me it comes down to who executes the others' strength better IE will Lars have a comparable approach or will vulgar have comparable writing. I give a pubic hair's edge to vulgar.

Witty · 02-10-2014, 03:00 PM

Topics are awesome.

Lars · 02-10-2014, 04:02 PM

Dopesauce!

I don't think me and Vulgar have ever met before?

Vulgar · 02-10-2014, 04:09 PM

We have not. This should be a memorable one.. good luck.

Negative.

Nigma · 02-10-2014, 08:36 PM

My road was emotionally taxing, as usual

Frank · 02-10-2014, 09:10 PM

@Nigma

Do it for me, and all the times I beat you

That's all I'm asking

Do it for me....

PancakeBrah · 02-11-2014, 12:53 AM

Watched 12 Years a Slave.

If it doesn't win 'Best Picture' I don't know what to believe anymore.

Lars · 02-11-2014, 11:48 AM

@Vulgar if you want an ext. just let me know.

I'll be here.

NYCSPITZ · 02-11-2014, 02:36 PM

(1)dead man vs. (R)Nigma - Young white girl smoking.
I'm not sure this topic is ideal for either, but I really like it. Pancake probably would kill it. Nigma again tends to be most in his element when he goes for grandeur, and this topic does not lend itself to that. Plus cigarettes are kind of dead man's old thing. And dead man is the better writer, so he has to be the pick here. Prediction: dead man 70-30.

(3)Vulgar vs. (7)Lars - Old white guys gambling.
I think this topic suits Baron Mynd better, and I know that when he starts to really put effort in, he's one of the best. Vulgar probably is the favorite here, but he's not as flexible as Baron, and this topic does not seem to play to his strengths the same way the others he's received have. Prediction: Lars 54-46.

that movie was seriously fucked up. i challenge any of you to compare to that story there.. it was too fucked up to be fiction. sometimes i feel like that about certain, or dead man.. possibly sometime dead man or CK. great fucking movie.

Lars · 02-12-2014, 08:01 AM

NC Dark is looking illy.

How did I not know about this?!

Certain · 02-12-2014, 09:23 AM

I didn't like 12 Years a Slave very much.

PancakeBrah · 02-12-2014, 10:17 AM

Weird.

I've made a point to watch all the Best Picture nominees this year. About halfway through the list. So far I have it

1. 12 Years a Slave
2. Her
3. The Wolf of Wall Street
4. American Hustle

With 12YaS as clear best.
