Wait, so stuffing the ballot box is allowed?


So this is what it feels like to be a Democrat...

I just do not understand the love for Coming to America. WTF.

It barely beat Caddyshack - but I agree.

Other than an Eddie Murphy vehicle it's not that funny - Eddie has several funnier movies.
It blows my mind that people don't like Coming to America. My friends and I quote the barber shop and especially the church scene and have since we met at A&M in the early 90s.
When it comes to "quotable movies", Caddyshack beats Coming to America like a drum. Come on now.
Agree to disagree.

Please get off this thread and go finish the winds of winter.

I'll take this to mean that ROTJ would be smoking BTTF in an actual fair vote.

Not really sure what to do about multiple voters. It hasn't made a difference in anything so far. Hopefully if said person is reading this they'll realize it is pretty immature and stop, but I won't do anything unless it gets ridiculous.

If only there was some outside crisis that forced me to stay inside with nothing else to do but write. Oh well, gotta get back to baking lemoncakes and lamprey pies for the neighbors.

I'm going to vote multiple times so I can feel better about myself and have my opinions validated.

Scarface appeals to people who's moms smoked during pregnancy.

It's a great movie but not better than Caddyshack.

Even Doug Kenney (founder of National Lampoon) thought Caddyshack was dog sht.

Wouldn't be near that if Cribs and all the rappers with their Scarface posters didn't exist in the early 00's

That is quite the correlation. So basically: Scarface bad because you said so?

Yes. And if you've never been told by your wife or girlfriend that "the royal ***** is clean your highness" well, you haven't lived a very good life.

For the record I really doubt it's Brian, he's much more about the rules than about his favorites winning. He's way passionate, but never an a-hole about it (unlike me)

The summer of 98 when the Astros traded for Randy Johnson, I cannot tell you the number of times my friends and I said during a game,

"You know him as Joe the policeman on the "What's Goin' Down" episode of That's My Mama. Put your hands together for Jackson Heights own! MISTER RANDY JOHNSON, YESSSA!"

Well for one thing, it would be really dumb of me when we've already discussed the whole IP thing. (Which I wanted to look up on my SW bracket.)

If I was ever gonna do that, I would have done it for Natalie Portman in the hotties bracket.

Hopefully Muck disallows those. Cheating on these is pretty sad.

Yes but it's mostly a cartoonish over the top caricature with a few shining moments. Overrated.
YouBet 2.0?
You know what's cartoonish? This outcome right here:


Quote:
#1 Coming to America 51%, #9 Caddyshack 49%


What in the literal f* is happening on this board? I liked Coming To America but in no f'ing universe is it better than Caddyshack...I guess except for Bizarro F13.

Live look at dumbasses picking Coming To America over Caddyshack:

Caddyshack is not a good movie. Funny? Sure. Good? No. Coming to America is both.

In my mind, Caddyshack has always been the Dune of 1980s comedies.

It was a real beast, and I was never trying to think about 2nd round matchups, just getting a decent top 10-15 seeds and going from there. When I realized BTILC was going to have to go up against Top Gun early on, I was bummed, but I recognize that it's at best a cult classic, and wouldn't have made it past the Sweet 16 in the best of circumstances.

Agreed. That was horsesh^t too as it's the best movie in this entire contest, but I at least realize with this movie that it is an outlier opinion.

Starting in the next round (Friday), if you vote more than 3 times, only the first 3 ballots will count.

Also, will have the Final Four round last Saturay/Sunday and the title match (Empire vs. Ghostbusters) will be Monday.

What loser dewsh is voting more than once? And why should anyone be allowed more than one vote?
