Adel – A poll in the same vein as the ‘Box Office Battle’? Like trying to predict the winners? Probably not at this point. However, we’ll all be on the site live-blogging in our annual group chat with readers during the Awards. We usually do play-by-play polls as the categories come up. I know it’s not the same thing though…
We might do a live-chat on depending on the service, there’s a chance we could do polls during it.
Here’s Py Picks

@Ben, hey dude how’s it going? Big fan of the site. It’s weird i find myself saying this but heh I’m actually Elizabeth Olsen’s boyfriend.Lizzy(that’s what i call her lol)& I are noticing in the last few podcasts you keep kind of..mentioning her or hinting at certain things and it’s been a little bit of a cause for her concern for Her and I both. Now i know you mean no offense by it and hey man i’m flattered to be honest but Lizzy (again my cute nickname for my girlfriend Elizabeth Olsen) just kind of feels uncomfortable with it despite me reassuring her like ‘Babe, he’s just kidding’ but yeah i guess what i’m just trying to say is just kind of tone down the mentioning of Lizzy(my girlfriend of 2 years) in any kind of i guess ‘negative’ light. That’s all man, like i said we love the site, love what you guys are doing, and i don’t wanna be banned from listening to the podcast, we listen to it together, so i wouldn’t be able to listen to it if she didn’t want to for fear of hearing herself mentioned. she just hasn’t been the same since the screening Martha Marcy May Marlene at the Toronto festival..i’ve been pushing for her to go talk to someone but you know how she is..well you don’t but i do..because i’m her boyfriend. Anyway thanks dude. Keep it up guys!
I’m glad you and Lizzy (can I call her that too?), I mean Elizabeth, have been enjoying the podcast together – and I have nothing but the utmost respect for her talent as an actress.
That said, how would she rate herself in comparison to Maggie Gyllenhaal? I’m sure Kofi would be interested to know…
Hey Ben, me again. At dinner when i asked Lizzy(my gf) about the whole Gyllenhaal thing as she was about to answer her publicist Susan (a real B-word/ the reason my relationship is on the rocks) silenced Lizzy and prevented her from answering the question. Long story short, a big fight broke out and i now type this to you on my laptop on the couch..this is where i’ll be sleeping for the next few nights now because when Lizzy gets mad, trust me brother SHE GETS MAD…ahhhh god and the couch is terrible for my back too.
Steve, Why are you telling the internet our business????
Babe? i…i thought you were asleep?? babe can you please come out here and just talk to me?
Is Susan single?
ohhhhhhooooo yeah. Unless you count being married to the bottle in which case, No. Not worth it though IMO
“I’m actually Elizabeth Olsen’s boyfriend”
Pics or it didn´t happen.
It goes against my better judgement to send some dude on the internet pictures of me but you seem like a good guy.
These are photos from Me and Lizzy from our road trip last april

Epic – I’m sending this to TMZ.
See Elizabeth..this is what i was talking about! He puts YOUR private life all over the internet. You should not be with him! I told you Lizzy, Chris Evans wants to have lunch with you. Just meet him, ONE lunch you’ll love him!
Susan, can you please just stay out of this for ONCE? You’re ruining my life! Just leave us alone! and Chris Evans?!? Lizzy, why is this the first i’m hearing of this??
Make a choice Lizzy, get a new publicist or were THROUGH!
Ughhh :/ i wish this was a SILENT HOUSE. lol
Unreal. She makes jokes at a time like this. I’m going to that Diner of 53rd street..I’ll be in our booth. Meet me there if you’d like to talk. Come Susan-less plz.
ROFL.. now I can’t even comment on the podcast itself because of that. Laughing too hard.
I just started listening to SR Underground about a month ago. Since then I have gone back and listened to about 2/3 of all of them. You guys are hilarious to listen to!
Also, for the first time, my Box Office Battle Picks:
1. Act of Valor
2. Good Deeds
3. Safe House
4. The Vow
5. Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance
10. Chronicle
Welcome Suprmn4105 and thanks for listening! Glad you’re enjoying the show.
Alright I’m done. Thanks for your patience everyone.
After coming close last time here are my picks:
1 Act Of Valor
2 Safe House
3 The Vow
4 Good Deads
5 Journey 2
10 Woman In Black
I wanted to put Good Deads #2 but the plot seem weak. Journey 2 should stay strong due to it being a family film.
Before listening to the picks of ScreenRant and reading the comments my box office picks are,
1. Act of Valor
2. Good Deeds
3. The Vow
4. Journey 2
5. Wanderlust
10. Ghost Rider
10. This Means War
Whoops. I forgot to delete This Means war after I changed my mind.
My #10 is Ghost Rider
Sorry…
This was one of the funniest episodes I’ve heard. It was hysterical. I’ve never laughed so hard at a podcast.
Joining the box office battle for the first time:
1) Act of Valor
2) Good Deeds
3) Journey 2
4) The Vow
5) Wanderlust
10) Star Wars
PS: It makes me sad that The Phantom Menace is about to make more money worldwide than The Dark Knight.
ME –
Glad you’re enjoying them!
… and no kidding about Episode I. Good grief.
You know, I never understood how or why people took Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles so seriously…Kofi was right in that there were some severely dark moments there and I kept thinking to myself when I was younger, “Man, these turtles were dealt a really jacked up hand…”. And they should definitely lead with Xavier in this next movie; not saying it’s gonna be bad if they do it the other way, but frankly…the movie is called “X-Men: etc.”, not “Magneto and His Minions”.
Just a reminder – we’ll be live-chatting with readers during the Academy Awards tonight for anyone wants to join in.
