    It's getting easier since each bracket is coming down to one film. I've kept track of your voting and you haven't missed a round. :)

    Yeah, not that tough of a round. You pretty much have a preference either way. There is no middle ground this round.

    hmm... Arnold in two semi-finalists, Bill Paxton in three...

    The real tragedy? Montalban only in one. Imagine the possibilities...

    "It is, as you say- game over...man."

    "I've done far worse than terminate you. I've crushed you. And I wish to go on crushing you."

    "I'll chase him 'round the moons of Nibia and 'round the Antares Maelstrom and 'round perdition's flames before I get to the chopper."
