ok, time's up, the votes will be tabulated, and the next round will begin momentarily

AUSTIN316426808 02-20-2007 09:24 PM

This another list or are the matches starting?

The STE 02-20-2007 09:53 PM

the next round will be like this round was, and after that will be individual matches

The STE 02-20-2007 10:01 PM

ok, tabulation is taking longer than expected and I've got a 3-4 page paper to write that's due tomorrow, so the next round is postponed until tomorrow, unless I get 3 pages written by 1:30 (central time)

The STE 02-21-2007 12:30 AM

I may be loopy from lack of sleep right now, but Se7en got seven votes, and I find that hilarious

AUSTIN316426808 02-21-2007 12:56 AM

It's worth maybe a chuckle, so that's most likely the case.

The Fly
http://ec1.images-amazon.com/images/...CLZZZZZZZ_.jpg
David Chronenberg's remake of the Vincent Price classic, relies more on the gross-out effects and overall dour tone, but in the process actually makes a more effective picture. No unintentional hilarity ("help me! help me!") to be found here.

VS

Punk: Attitude
http://ec1.images-amazon.com/images/...CLZZZZZZZ_.jpg
Very informative, very engrossing documentary on the rise of the punk music scene in New York, LA, and England. Shows interviews from various bandmates (a lot of stuff from Henry Rollins), some obscure clips from concerts, and gives a good history of how the 'punk' scene came about, and the various bands and styles that came after.
