Doesn't surprise me at all. Any outcome in this tourney that I find disappointing (and this one is certainly very disappointing), is a highly expected outcome.

Round 1 - Bracket 17

A Nous La Liberte vs. Port of Shadows


Round 1 - Bracket 18

Bon Voyage vs. Three Colors: Red

 

[Brook K]

A Nous La Liberte (very tough)
Three Colours: Red (easy like Sunday morning)

Saw a film last night worthy of this poll, Time Out, a wrenching film because I identify completely with the lead character. The film is perhaps the best I've seen at capturing the utter pointlessness and entrapment of the modern workplace.

 

[Jim_K]

Le Quai des brumes

and

abstain

 

[Brian Lawrence]

-abstain

-I have not seen Bon Voyage yet but I have it sitting on my shelf, so maybe I will watch it tonight and and then most likely cast a vote for Red
