SUMMER SPECTACULAR: A Week's Worth of Awesome Extra Content Especially for Our Players
by Indie Jones
Indiana Jones is coming. So is Batman. So is that spaceship that looks exactly like Eddie Murphy (sweet, we just saved a pile of cash on special effects), as well as that Israeli assassin and hairstylist who looks like Adam Sandler (crap, we just spent a pile of cash on wigs) and that mysterious evil essence that says man's time on Earth is done, even yours, Marky Mark (wait, what did M. Night Shyamalan do with our pile of cash?). It's a great time to be a Fantasy Moguls player, and a time that reminds all of us here at Moguls Central that movies rule and this is heck of a way to make a living. If you've been playing since the first Moguls leagues hit the Web, then we're happy (and honored) to still have you aboard. Thanks for liking us. (If we were Julia Roberts or Sally Field, we'd keep right up on babbling until Gil Cates opened the trapdoor behind the podium.) If you're new to The Game (almost as cool as the one that ate up Michael Douglas), then we're pleased to meet you. Either way, we hope you'll enjoy a week's worth of special contributions from our regular Swamis of the Cinema.
Some of our Extra Special Content is already out there. Here's a look at what's in store (as well as what's already available):
EARLY TRACKING (April 29)
How does the holiday season begin? With a bang. A big, big BANG, if the numbers are giving us any kind of accurate picture. Steve Mason has surveyed the early field and says that Iron Man is poised to stomp the competition. Not only that, but Speed Racer could get to the finish line in second place, behind What Happens in Vegas. And the blockbusters are lined up for weeks after that: Prince Capsian is ready to rule, and we'll also see Indiana Jones, WALL-E, Will Smith and Batman, to name just a few.
TIP OF THE WEEK SPECIAL EDITION (April 29)
It takes super powers to find super bargains. Mister Informative uses his enormous brain to tear through the May-July Fantasy Moguls season and sniff out the best films that money can buy. The best films that not very much money can buy, that is. Our Superhero of the Cinema soars over the bottom of the barrel to find movies costing $5 or less that could make a difference for your Ultimate Movie Moguls or Box Office Moguls studio. Will it be (shudder) Space Chimps that snatches your box-office bacon out of the fire?
BARD'S EYE VIEW SPECIAL EDITION (April 30)
The Poet of the 'Plex peers far, far ahead into the mists of time, all the way to the end of July, and tells you which films are the best bets to be each weekend's Box Office Champ and PTA King. That's 13 weekends of winners, folks. Not even telephone sports betting services have this much chutzpah! Guaranteed accuracy, or your money ba — er, well, he's pretty good, anyway. Come on, where else are you going to find someone willing to stick his neck out this far, and sound this erudite doing it? Don't pick your flicks until you see what flicks he's picked.
DANCES WITH THE ARTHOUSE SPECIAL EDITION (May 1)
What's playing at the nation's specialty theaters? What will be playing there? Indie Jones knows. Cracking his quip and fleeing from the giant blockbuster boulders of the box office, our intrepid adventurer looks under every marquee and sprints through the jungle of limited releases to find the fifteen "biggest" indie films of the May-July window. As a special bonus, he'll hook you up with five films that could be crossover surprises.
