Movie Battle Tournament (Last Round on Page 9)

[Guest Barmacral]

Film yourself making all the sound effects and put it on youtube.

[kait]

has anyone noticed that kait ends up voting for the winner? 8) just saaaaaying. *cough*

 

it has to be Star Wars. Gladiator was awesome, but look at what SW did for science-fiction. it was the pre-LotR push & the pre-WoT push by extension. or it was in my world.

[Essy]

I must vote for Gladiator. I never liked the 'sci-fi' movie themes. SW had some great character plots, whilst Gladiator was mostly history (well, not really, but you get my point.)

 

Gladiator has my vote :P

[kait]

history? yeah. not really. ;) don't vote contrary to what others are voting. vote for a good reason.

 

*laughs at kait a little*

[Silver]

damn, didn't see this thread get stickied so missed round 3

 

but yeah, i vote Star Wars

[kait]

i watch this thread. there are threads i watch in all the Orgs i'm in. otherwise i think i'd forget about one for weeks.

 

whooooo SW!

[Guest Emperor]

Star Wars leads 5 - 2. You have until about mid-day to cast your votes. (I just get excited about posting the new Versus)

 

Also, if you have a great idea for a versus, please feel free to pm me. I do have about 5 more in mind. Once we burn through this thread and declare a winner, I plan to roll out Genre Tournaments.

[kait]

posting the versus gives you the power. hmmmm. power ... you sure you don't need a second-in-command, empy darling?

[Guest Emperor]

Star Wars wins out over Gladiator... and one of the mighty contenders falls.

 

Next up comes our Horror Battle Royal...

 

Alien

 

 

vs

 

Jaws

 

[Guest Barmacral]

As I've never seen Alien, I'm gonna have to say Jaws.

[Guest Emperor]

This one is tough for me.... but Jaws made it scary for people to swim.

[Guest Yveva]

dammit! I haven't watched either of these, so I'm not qualified to answer :(

 

 

 

but I would have voted for Star Wars. Gladiator didn't have a popular-breakfast-food shaped hairstyle.

[Guest Cadsuane]

dammit! I haven't watched either of these' date=' so I'm not qualified to answer :([/quote']

Ditto. But, as incentive for other people to vote in this round, I will watch whichever one wins! :P

 

 

Gladiator didn't have a popular-breakfast-food shaped hairstyle.

LOL! Excellent point. 8)

[Thorum]

Then I'll vote Alien.

 

If only to spare you having to watch Jaws

[Guest Emperor]

Oooo, could this be the closest one yet? Yveva, I own Jaws.. well on VHS... like anyone has a VCR anymore...

[Guest Barmacral]

My parents own a VCR. Its in better shape than the DVD player that my siblings and I got them for christmas a few years ago. (I wasn't old enough to drive when we did, so getting the DVD player was an adventure in itself)

[Guest Haxorsist]

I haven't watched any of these either. :(

[Guest Cadsuane]

I own one! I almost never use it. If I got around to finding DVD replacements of the 2 VHS items I watch, I'd dump it completely. If I move anytime soon, I might do it anyway... *ponders*

[Guest Emperor]

Ok, for those of you that have never watched Jaws or Alien... or Aliens.... rent them. Jaws is a classic and was wonderfully done. Alien/Aliens.... Aliens may be one of the only sequels (other than the Godfather) that was better than its original in my opinion.

 

I will leave this one going for another day or so for those that want to weigh in.

 

Jaws is leading 2-1 atm.

[Silver]

Alien. jaws just never made much sense to me.

[Essy]

Jaws. No question. Only Alien movie I liked was AvP, the rest sucked.

[kait]

empy is right about jaws being a classic & aliens being pivotal in its own right. the thing about those series though is it makes it harder to separate each from the rest of the interpretations. & sometimes that's an advantage & sometimes that's a disadvantage.

 

in this case, the alien movies are too varied in their scope & range.

 

i vote jaws.

 

... & if anyone laughs at the agreement - i will light-schmang him. if it's a her i will laugh, too.

[Whitestar]

Jaws hands down!

 

Alien, was a horrible movie. Aliens on the other hand would rule over Jaws with ease, but unfortunately it's lesser sibling is in this competition right now.

[kait]

well said =)

[Guest Emperor]

Excellent Jaws wins. On to the next competition.

 

I figured I would give 300 a chance to go somewhere, so here we go.

 

300
