Who can guess the biggest blowout today? Not the same as yesterday is your hint.

No Country for Old Men over The Wild Robot

Well done! 94% of the vote currently. Only one above 85%.

Django vs LOTR, ugh. Hate voting against Django.

For the record, it will show my account voted twice. Once for my votes, one for my wife.

You can thank her for any Disney / animated movies moving on.

Last bump for the second round. Will close it some time after 7 pm. Cant' say win, so vote now, as the Republic Senate once cried for a vote of no confidence in Supreme Chancellor Finis Valorum.

There are still several really close matchups, particularly The Force Awakens vs. Edge of Tomorrow. That lead changes basically every 30-45 minutes.


Here's the link to make it easier

I've previewed a few of the Round 32 matchups that seem likely. Features the first - and likely only - matchup of Star Wars and Lord of the Rings along with a few real "fan favorite" doozies that are going to get really messy.

The bottom quadrant is loaded and has my number two overall. I'm interested in seeing if it makes it out of that one.

TFA v Edge surprises me.

TFA v Edge surprises me.

On which side of this one are you?

Several Tough Ones in there....


Hacksaw Ridge vs 1917; both really good IMO

I put edge of tomorrow in the same class as hell or high water. Great movie but not many people saw it on the big screen. Tfa by itself is among the top 5 popcorn movies of the century

Not for me.

I grade movies on if I can watch them over and over. The new Star Wars were not that for me. And I loved the original first three.


Had a cat named Luke. A show steer named Wicket.

Well to this point, 51% of the voters disagree with you.

Which is fine. Tells me I'm on point bc overcoming the Star Wars nostalgia is not easy.

Cage : You know, I'm not sure. Cage : Are you an American? Master Sergeant Farell : No, *sir*. I'm from *Kentucky*.


So many parts I love in this movie with all the soldiers.

When his mouth is duct taped. The looks on their faces. "What's he saying!"

Polls are now closed for round 2.

Looking to more complaints about The Force Awakens soon.

Done

I did my part

Could follow up with the greatest movie character 2000-2024.

Basterds vs Catch Me If You Can is a brutal one for me. I still go IB but I love Catch Me. One of Spielberg's best, a sneaky good JW score, and the movie that put Leo on the path to all-time actor rather than a flavor of the week after Titanic.

Stunned by the # of overnight votes


Lots of fun matchups though. For the first time in the tournament, the Dark Knight Rises is in a real fight against ... these guys?

Naw, once I saw the matchup I knew it would likely lose, Guardians is an imaginative and fun film and at least it did not lose to a meh at best Star Wars sequel which was the fate of EoT.

At best you're mad at like 65 people.
I feel the same way about how Monsters Inc. keeps making it through.

It is getting good draws. It should have lost to Kill Bill, I agree. But I think it is better than Skyfall (only memorable thing to me was Javier Bardem's weird-ass costume). Moneyball...push.

Agreed. This was a really tough decision for me as well.

Almost as bad for me personally as TDK vs Dune 2. (But I'm a HUGE Dune and DV fan.)
