All-around film tournament

[The STE]

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

Fair enough, didn;t mean to be an ass, Sam.


You've got a nice tourny going on here, I'm excited. :) Plus I'm drunk.

[The STE]

Yeah, I guess. People are all "aw, man, those matches are tough" which is always good to hear.

Agreed, the rest may've been random, but I think that was just a sick joke.
