We got some close races with some of these battles. Remember, if you haven't voted, voting will end tomorrow at 1:00 PM EST.

 

Edge of my seat here!

 

Oh, that just goes without saying. We all are. I mean, I'm only sleeping three hours a night because I'm so anxious.

 

PM votes? That sucks. Well at least I got a +1


Vote sent in my usual method 506. Let me know if that suffices or not, I can always try the more traditional way of snail mail.

ObiWan506, when this is over, is there the chance we could see what the numbers were for voting on all of these rounds? just to see how close they were?

 

So much about that round that was just wrong [face_shake_head]

 

Yup. I save all the numbers for each voting round. I'll let you know how each round went once this is all over.

 

Wow, I thought for sure that Harry Potter would beat out Big Trouble in Little China. This tournament will be full of surprises!

 

Serenity
vs
Mad Max: The Road Warrior

100% Not cool. Not cool at all.

dkt

 

Neverending Story beat The Dark Crystal???

You people are merciless. I was encouraged by the win of Conan however (albiet the Ninja Turtles had a special place in my heart, if you didnt see that movie in a packed theater full of screaming drunk college frat boys then you didnt see it at all).

 

Quest, you're dead to me now.

A surprisingly difficult decision.


Well, okay, not really, but still, I'm shocked that I actually had to stop and think for like a second. I mean, just a second, but still . . .

 

This tournament is just going to get tougher and tougher with the decisions you're going to have to make in the future.

There are a lot of blowouts in this round. Some films haven't even received one vote yet.

 

We don't even know how many people are voting.

 

Over twenty so far.

 

Yeah its not a tough decision at all really...



Its Galaxy Quest right

 

Not really, no.

But, for just a second, I considered it. Strong testament.

 

Results are in. They are as followed:

Bracket #2 ? (Science Fiction) (The Deus ex machina Bracket)

Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan
2001: A Space Odyssey
Alien
