Blu-ray.com Tournament - Paramount Region 3rd Round (Sweet 16) Come Vote!! - Blu-ray Forum

CZAR · 02-16-2010, 12:46 AM

Ok this is the Paramount portion of the Sweet 16! Just to be clear for some of those that dont follow march madness here is how it works. This poll will have 4 films but they are in matchups. So for example #1 seed The Dark Knight is up againts #5 seed Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back. U only vote for 1 of those films to advance. U do that with every 2 films paired up and u choose 1 of each 2 paired because only 1 film from each pair will advance.

So its not 4 films head to head but they are in pairs head to head. Make sure u vote 1 film for each matchup. This will be opened for 3 days which is plenty of time to get your votes in. The winner of each individual matchup will advance to the Great 8. Remember dont vote for the best 2 out of the 4 but do it on a matchup by matchup basis. If u have any questions feel free to ask!

Also this is not a best of or favorites matchup. I would say vote based on the overall take of the film u either feel is better or that u like better or a combination of both! Its up to u of what films to vote for and why. Make your vote count and please only vote 1 film for each paired matchup so that the voting totals come out correct. Below is the bracket link for this region just to make sure u understand what the matchups are. Here we go. Lets get this started!! Got Em!!

I doubt it, the force is strong within the fanboys

Which fanboys?

Edited to add: While the Star Wars one's are pretty loyal, TDK was the movie that was released the most recently.

Logan

I don't care much for 5 of the 6 Star Wars movies (or Star Wars in general), but I love Empire.

And Gladiator gets my vote over The Shining.

My 2nd favorite movie (TDK) vs my 3rd favorite movie (Empire)

...but for this poll I went against that and voted Empire.

acosmichippo · 02-16-2010, 07:46 AM

I'm not a big Star Wars fan (much prefer Trek, myself), but V was definitely my favorite of them. Definitely the most unique. But at the end of the day, they're just space fantasies to me - not very deep or meaningful at all, so i went with Dark Knight.

And i generally don't care for horror flicks, so i chose Gladiator.

Because TDK was so deep and meaningful?
