What will Burn After Reading receive on the tomatoe meter?

Voided

After trialling the Rotten Tomatoes rating for Bangkok Dangerous, http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/bangkok_dangerous/, its clear that there is not enough liquidity in the ratings to prevent Hubdub players significantly gaming the question (only 48 votes). I do really like the idea though.. perhaps we could use IMDB ratings (1034 ratings at the moment). http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0814022/

Background:

Burn After Reading is directed by the cohen brothers who won best picture last year for no country for old men. Burn after reading stars Brad Pitt and George Clooney. results will be what the tomatoe meter at rottentomatoes.com says monday morning the 15th.

Editor Clarification: This market will suspend on Friday night and settle Monday morning. The meter is a continuously updating rating and thus the settlement of this market may depend somewhat on the time of day that I settle the market. Please DO NOT wager on this question if that is not acceptable to you.

I disagree. Gaming? are you kidding? I can't stand it anymore, I wasn't going to say anything but you know what? fuck it! I'm going to break my 'no sarcastic comments on hubdub' vow I took a few months ago. Yes, Jenni, I fell off the wagon and I luv those dogs BTW! Luv the little buggers! With a bit of garlic and bok choy.. but anyway...I love your questions too by the way, and I think you know that. Please keep contributing. BUT LOOK.. What am I going to do Jenni? Set up a movie review site, submit it to the world's most famous film critic site, expected it to be accepted, and then give a splattered tomato/fresh tomato so my $100 on "Burn After Reading" wins me a whopping $200 or some ridiculously small amount of imaginary money because my splattered tomato/fresh tomato will statistically affect the outcome of usually 100 to 200 movie reviews? Can I have some of what you are on? C'mon Jenn, help me out! THIS IS JUST SIMPLY IMAGINARY BOLLOCKS. Get off the poodle pipe Jen!

@ginger - I'm sorry you've fallen off the wagon. It was really a very nice wagon... When I first looked at the site, I thought any users could contribute reviews. Therefore, the meter could be moved dramatically by only one person making a couple of dummy accounts. After your (maybe slightly less than friendly comment) I went back to the forums and poked around some more and realized that you have to be a registered film critic to post on the site. I can't unvoid this market, but I will make sure the author knows that he's free to post them again in the future. (Or another player may post them as well)

Just a reminder that we're here to have fun too, so if you see something you don't agree with, the first assumption should probably be "she made a mistake" rather than "she is power mad and doesn't want anyone to have any fun."
