[SteveGon]

And yes, I had WAY too much coffee today!

 

[Bill J]

He's Outta Here! The Banned HTF Member Tournament - Which ex-HTF member made the most inglorious exit?

I'd love to see you do that one.

 

[SteveGon]

Um, probably wouldn't be a good idea. I'd end up in my own tourney!

 

[Matthew Chmiel]

Best Criterion DVD
Bad SF!
Obscure Films
Tough Guys

Creative Ways to Spell "Chmiel" Tournament

 

[Steeve Bergeron]

Sometimes I'm ashamed that you have the same first name as I do!

 

[SteveGon]

It's the ccoffee, ddammit! I'm so wwired!

 

[Matthew Chmiel]

Sometimes I'm ashamed that you have the same first name as I do!

No, his name is Steve and your name is Steeve.

 

[Steeve Bergeron]

You do have a point, Matt! I feel so much better now. Thanks!

 

[Rich Romero]

Man why won't this damn picture work.

 

[SteveGon]

No, his name is Steve and your name is Steeve.

Or, as Brian Kissinger calls him, double-"e" Steeve.

 

[Rob Tomlin]

Don't know which was the best, but I am pretty sure that Hard Science-fiction Movies was the most controversial!

 

[Brian Kissinger]

Funniest Steve Christou Post Tournament--So many to choose from, but it would be a good tourney.

Dude! The Keanu Reeves Movie Tournament--Uh, in a word....NO

The Fat Lady Sings! An Opera Tournament--Opera kicks ass!

Creative Ways to Spell "Chmiel" Tournament--This one time I misspelled my own name. I would rule in this one.

My Emmanuelle Beart Fantasies - The Tournament--I'm subjected to this one at work everyday.

 

[SteveGon]

My Emmanuelle Beart Fantasies - The Tournament--I'm subjected to this one at work everyday.

You talkin' about me?

 

[Scott Weinberg]

Steve - we could match our tourneys against each other...and you'd wallop me! I have NO tourneys running right now, but the wheels are a-turnin'!

 

[george kaplan]

Alright, I'll vote.
Best Criterion DVD
Bad SF! (only because I disagree so strongly with the concept of hard sci-fi )
abstain on the others.
Question of the Day:
The Fat Lady Sings! An Opera Tournament
He's Outta Here! The Banned HTF Member Tournament - Which ex-HTF member made the most inglorious exit?
Most Bone-headed DVD Release Tournament - Can you say pan & scan Willy Wonka?
Those three would all be good
Although you might try Bugs Bunny sings: Opera that people will recognize (including Barber of Seville from Bugs and Carmen from Gilligan's Island's musical version of Hamlet)

 

[SteveGon]

Scott, you're welcome to Dude! The Keanu Reeves Movie Tournament and He's Outta Here! The Banned HTF Member Tournament! You can take the risk on that last one.
Here's some real suggestions that you're welcome to:
Best Movie Dog - This one might actually be fun. Lassie, Benji, Shiloh, Beethoven, etc. You could expand it to include TV shows.
Irish Movies Tournament
Road Movies Tournament
-------------------
Anyone else want to vote on the current brackets?

 

[MartinTeller]

History and the Movies (the "scoring" process in the Criterion tourney just didn't work)

Hard SF (because I'd only seen about 3 movies in the "bad sf" tourney)

 

[SteveGon]

And the winners are:
Best Criterion DVD
Bad SF!
Obscure Films
Tough Guys

(the "scoring" process in the Criterion tourney just didn't work)

I agree. If I ever get around to doing the Best Anchor Bay Tournament, I'll use George Kaplan's suggestion of using a mean score as opposed to an average score.
Round 1 - Bracket 5
Humphrey Bogart vs. Clint Eastwood
Round 1 - Bracket 6
Bad Comedies vs. Bad Horror
Round 1 - Bracket 7
Science-fiction vs. Fantasy
Round 1 - Bracket 8
Production Design vs. Classic Comedies
