Ash - Hail to the King, baby. 10 pts.
The Bride - Elsa Lanchester Jennifer Beals - 7 pts.
Bruce Lee - ooh, a non-fiction character. 9 pts.
Jack Bauer - This guy has more bad days than John McClane. 8 pts.
Jack Burton - Pork Chop Express, baby. 9 pts.

Total = 45 pts.

Actually I don't want either of you guys to advance, because both of your hero lineups are stronger than mine!

You both have great rosters, but Nick gets the vote. Barely.

Hey, I like Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome. It may (mostly) lack the kinetic energy of The Road Warrior, but it does flesh out Max's post-apocalyptic world. It's also a pretty good adventure flick in its own right.

I've been away all week so I haven't been able to vote, but by the look of things i've been up most of the week and I abstain from voting during my rounds so it works out all right.

The Bride (Her story isn't finished yet, so I don't know if I trust her on my team. Also, she seems more bad than good.)
Jack Bauer (I've already got two government agents, so this would be complete overkill. Also, he'd somehow insist on bringing his daughter Kim along to ruin everything.)
Jack Burton (Jack's certainly got courage and confidence, but he's a bit of a loose cannon.)
Bruce Lee (He could kick a lot of ass. Always a good quality.)
Ash (He could kick some ass, shotgun some others, and chainsaw the rest.)

But who would I get rid of?
James Bond (Untouchable)
Sydney Bristow (Bond would shoot me if I dropped her.)
Mad Max (He rules the wasteland.)
Dirty Harry Callahan (He's might be getting too old for this shit anyway.)
Hercules (So many bad Hercules movies.)

Ash takes Hercules' place on my squad, but I've decided that Harry's hand cannon still trumps Bruce Lee's flying fists. Better luck next time, grasshopper.

Round 1 - Bracket 6

+06 Amon Goeth (I can't give a Nazi more than 6 pts, even if it is a squad of villains.)
+09 Darth Vader (-1 pt for being an annoying little kid. -1 pt for being an obnoxious teenager. -1 pt for being a deadbeat dad. -1 pt letting two different Death Stars explode. +1 pt for trying to bring his son into the family business. +1 pt for giving asthmatic kids someone to root for.)
+07 Jack the Ripper (He's a bad man, alright.)
+09 John Doe (He's badder than Jack the Ripper.)
+10 Lacy MacBeth (Unconventional. Literate. Uber-bitchy!)
------------------
+41 pts

vs.

+07 Al Capone (Convicted of tax evasion? Died of syphillis in prison? Not quite bad enough, I'm afraid.)
±00 Henry (If only this were Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer...)
+09 The Lord of Darkness (He was on my list of characters to pick. Probably my favorite Tim Curry role, for whatever that's worth.)
±00 Patrick Bateman (Bad stroke of luck for you since I have neither read the book nor seen the movie. He might get a few pts if I had.)
+10 The Predator (-1 pt because he only killed one future governor, unless Carl Weathers becomes governor of New Mexico or something.)
------------------
+26 pts

My vote goes to Jan H again.

A Møøse once bit my sister ... No realli! She was Karving her initials on the møøse with the sharpened end of an interspace tøøthbrush given her by Svenge - her brother-in-law - an Oslo dentist and star of many Norwegian møvies: "The Høt Hands of an Oslo Dentist", "Fillings of Passion", "The Huge Mølars of Horst Nordfink".

We apologise for the fault in the signature. Those responsible have been sacked.

Mynd you, møøse bites Kan be pretty nasti...

Jan H

Amon Goeth - Ugh. This is an evil bastard. 9 pts.
Darth Vader - The seminal sci-fi villain. 9 pts. (-1 for "turning good".)
Jack the Ripper - Aggregate score from the onscreen versions I've seen... 8 pts.
John Doe (Se7en) - Classic. 10 pts.
Lacy MacBeth - What a conniving bitch. 9 pts.

45 pts.

vs.

Mike Hutman

Al Capone - De Niro alone earns 9 pts.
Henry (The Good Son) - Annoying; more silly than evil. 6 pts.
The Lord of Darkness (Legend) - Love this pick. 10 pts.
Patrick Bateman - A rarity: the movie's better than the book. 8 pts.
The Predator - Not many modern movie villains cooler than this guy. 9 pts.

42 pts.

Jan gets my vote in a VERY tough matchup. Twas the durn Culkin that sunk the illustrious Mr. Hutman.

Round 1 - Bracket 7

SteveGon

Frankenstein's Monster
King Arthur
Professor Bernard Quatermass
The Shadow
Sherlock Holmes

vs.

Brian Kissinger

Barbara Mandrell
Barbara Walters
Mrs. Buttersworth
Sally Struthers
Shirley Temple

I'll abstain, but here's my thoughts on Brian's list:

Barbara Mandrell - Even. (as far as country singers go, I prefer Shania Twain)
Barbara Walters (good in case that evil Dan Rather shows up)
Mrs. Buttersworth (had pancakes this morning - yummy)
Sally Struthers - Even (would have been a thumbs up, but she was married to a guy named Meathead)
Shirley Temple (I love that lollipop song)


Who the hell is Professor Bernard Quatermass you ask?

Frankenstein's Monster - Cool, sad, misunderstood creature. 8 pts.
King Arthur - He should have kept his eye on Lancelot. 8 pts.
Professor Bernard Quatermass - Gotta plead semi-ignorance on this one. If Steve thinks this highly of him, he must be fairly cool. 6.75 points.
The Shadow - I know who this one is, but not all that well. I am stupid. But the movie was a bit underrated. 6 pts.
Sherlock Holmes - Great pick. One of the great literary heroes...right after Arthur Dent. 10 pts.

Total = 38.75 pts.

vs.

Brian Kissinger

Barbara Mandrell - Had a crush on her when she had that old variety show with her sisters. 6 pts.
Barbara Walters - Annoying with pretensions of actual journalism. 4 pts.
Mrs. Buttersworth - Very sweet and VERY sticky. 8 pts.
Sally Struthers - Do YOU wanna make more money? SURE WE ALL DO! 4 pts.
Shirley Temple - Creepy talented little kid. 6 pts.

Total = 28 pts + 10 pt. bonus for displaying an enjoyable weirdness with his list.

Steve wins... 38.75 to 38.
