Four pages into the thread and the tournament has started? Maybe throw in a porno or two for good measure.
Edit: Well that makes 5 pages. |
hm? There's only 2 pages by my count
|
You must have a bunch of people blocked then sam. Cause it says on mine that this thread is 5 pages long. OR maybe you show more posts per page than mine does. I should change that.
|
When is it all going to start anyway?

I hate waiting, just kill me now!

This thread's not even a day old, I didn't think of it until last night. Gimme a little while to come up with 256 movies for the tournament, will ya?
|
how many have you got so far?
|
184 movies
|
The Treasure of the Sierra Madre
Jeremiah Johnson Ran Kung Fu Hustle Sin City The Maltese Falcon Rashomon Brazil The Great Dictator Dead Ringers A Patch of Blue Sympathy for Lady Vengeance Horror Express North by Northwest There are so many more... good luck picking. ;) |
Quote:
Any besides the obvious one make the cut? |
Run
See no evil, Hear no evil Dead Again Zero Tolerance Riding alone for thousands of miles The rage in placid lake Project A The adventures of Baron Munchausen Shattered There's a few randoms |

|
I hope Rashomon made it...
|
I was actually a bit dissapointed in Rashomon. I was expecting a top 10 movie, and it actually didn't even make my top 100.
But it's still Rashomon, so yeah, it made it. |

while I'm going through movies, I'll post little stats about what I've got so far.
Most represented directors: Martin Scorsese/Alfred Hitchockc: 6 Akira Kurosawa: 5 several have 2 or 3, including Darren Aronofsky, Yasujiro Ozu, Sergio Leone, Mel Brooks, Quenten Tarantino, and Kevin Smith |
I had a list at least ten times longer than the one I posted swimming in my head but there are just so many movies and how good they are is so subjective. I'll be anxious to see the tournament, we should have a HDC top 100 films list heh.

Requiem for A Dream and ??? Didn't know he had anything else of that class.
|
Quote:
|
yeah, the other one is Pi. Although I prefer Requiem
|
Yeah, I agree with that, slipped my mind that it was his. I'm with Sam on the preference though.
|
Quote:
I think most people are, I can safely say I'm in the minority with this one. :) |
Oh, both movies are great. I actually saw Requiem mostly because of how much I loved Pi (also I was reading the book for a class, and needed the movie for my project).
|
you must add The Untouchables to the list.
|
Ok, the movies have been chosen and randomized within the genres. Here's how the first two rounds will work:
I'm doing two qualifier rounds. In these two rounds, I'll be posting all of the matches of the round at once, and people vote on all of them. The first two rounds will last for 48-ish hours each. After those two rounds, the tournament will be down to 64 titles, 8 per genre, and the tournament will continue like other tournaments have here in the past. First round's matches will be up momentarily. |

well I guess the movie selection was good if there's so many tough matches. Either that or all the good ones got paired up and all the filler got paired up.
and in response to one of Austin's comments: Oh, shit, I didn't even notice that Dollars and Yojimbo got paired up. Seriously, I used the exact same randomizing process I use for all my tournaments. Re Alkey's "Not Romance" comments: A lot of movies span multiple genres. On stuff like the ones you commented on, I decided that if enough reputable places listed them as Romance then I'd put them under Romance. Those three are on AFI's top 100 romantic movies list, and that was the deciding factor |

You've got a nice tourny going on here, I'm excited. :) Plus I'm drunk. |
Yeah, I guess. People are all "aw, man, those matches are tough" which is always good to hear.
|
Quote:
Agreed, the rest may've been random, but I think that was just a sick joke. |
why would I put my favorite movie in a position to get eliminated in the qualifyer round?
