"The Social Network" Makes HFL History

"Check it out, our movie has 62 points in the HFL."

The Q4 season of the Hollywood Fantasy League is already shaping up to be a classic. After all the summer blockbusters, some wondered if Q4 would be a snooze-fest. So far, all indications point to "nope".

Sexy Marmaduke Too pick "The Social Network" came busting out of the gates with a 95 Metacritic score, the highest in HFL history. This immediately throws Meg into the title hunt, but a number of highly anticipated fall flicks are set to hit theaters shortly.

Joining Meg atop the preliminary Q4 leaderboard is Tim's Fo'ty Busta Film and Theatre Company. He's already scored 57 points through the first three weeks of the season, and his first round pick is yet to be released.

The teams with the #1 and #2 overall picks, Telthorst and Ellen, respectively, have gigantic movies waiting to hit theaters, but it remains to be seen if they have deep enough rosters to win the Q4 championship.

Brian Takes Q3 Title in a Photo Finish

Brian ended up needing every point from his third round rom-com.

In the closest finish in HFL history, Brian edges Sarah to take the Q3 title by a single point. Fart Grab Smell scored only 14 points between his second and third round picks, but rode the second overall pick "Inception", which was the quarter's top movie (176 points).

Sarah fell just short of back-to-back titles. I'm sure she'll have many sleepless nights wondering, "If only a few more people had seen 'Cats and Dogs: The Revenge of Kitty Galore'...."

The Q4 draft is underway. Keep an eye out for the first post of Q4, and a Q3 wrap-up.
