Directors head to head tourney - draft 1 vs. draft 2 (1 Viewer)

george kaplan · Jan 15, 2003

I've taken out all the films chosen in both drafts, and pitted the rest against each other. I couldn't think of any way to set up brackets where I wouldn't get accused of bias, so I'm skipping the brackets for this one. Both lists have been alphabetized, and we'll just keep pitting films against each other until one draft is eliminated.
First,
Aguirre: The Wrath of God vs. Adaptation

Damn... just saw Aguirre, but no Adaptation. Abstain.

This is a fine idea for a tourney, but the result (obviously) will be meaningless.

The only way to accurately determine which Draft has the better list of films (excluding the mutual ones) is to list them all and have people vote on which is the better list.

Doing it this way, you could have a result where one draft has a great film that the other draft didnt pick. That one great film beats the crap out of every film from the other draft. But, other than that one great film, the rest of the films from that draft could be total crap, resulting in the draft with the better overall list losing.

I understand that isn't necessarily the goal here, but it does come across that way.

Great point, Rob!

All the tourneys are essentially meaningless, but still great fun.

My heart belongs to Fitzcarraldo, and I have no special loyalty to Aguirre, as wonderful as I think it is. I'll go for the one that wowed me most recently.
Adaptation

Jan H · Jan 15, 2003

Damnit, I'd love to be able to vote (because it means I'd have seen Adaptation), but it better be real good if it beats Aguirre!

I think the title of this thread is a misnomer..it's not "Draft 1 vs Draft 2". You've got to do as Rob said to get actual results of such a matchup.

Jan H · Jan 15, 2003

Yes, indeed. That seems the logical way to approach it.

ErikG · Jan 15, 2003

Andy Olivera · Jan 15, 2003

George's plan works just fine...

Abstain

We've got a tie, which unfortunately I can't break since I haven't seen Adaptation. The next vote on it wins, or if there's not a vote by tomorrow both films will move on.
As for the nature of this tournament, this tournament is just that, a tourney. If someone else would like to do a "poll - draft 1 vs. draft 2" and just put the two lists in their entirety up for a vote, go ahead, and I'll participate. But this is not a poll, it's a tournament pitting the unique films of the two drafts against each other. I never claimed it to be anything else, and everyone is free to participate or not as they would like.
Next,
Airplane! vs. Akira

Gabe D · Jan 16, 2003

Airplane!

SteveGon · Jan 16, 2003

Akira

Lew Crippen · Jan 16, 2003

Akira

Vickie_M · Jan 16, 2003

Abstain (no Akira, even though I own the DVD :b )
