[george kaplan]

I didn't think there'd be anything I could second, but I have seen Bob Dylan: No Direction Home, so I'll second that.

There's obviously going to be a lot of abstaining from most of us (me most of all), so I'd have no problem with you throwing in everything.

 

[Lew Crippen]

Except for me George--I'm on permanent abstain for this tourney.

I want to spruce this up with images later, just don't have time now and wanted to get a match up.

Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire
abstain - seen neither

 

[george kaplan]

Double Abstain (the first of many I'm sure )

 

[Elizabeth S]

double abstain

 

[Adam_S]

double abstain

 

[Justin_S]

Abstain - don't care to see Potter. Flightplan was bad though.
Darwin's Nightmare - I Netflixed Dark Water to see Connelly, and she was the only thing worth seeing in that crap.

 

[SteveGon]

Double-Abstain

Not that interested in seeing Flightplan or Dark Water. Sorry.

HP was okay and DN is excellent.
