The Culture Cup round 4.

First topic message reminder :

So now we arrive at round 4 for the 606v2 Culture Cup and the poll for Who is the greatest comedy character on TV since the turn of the century?.

Round 3 was hotly contested with compelling & rich and Hero battling it out for top spot.  In the end, they couldn't be separated and even though I considered splitting them myself by having the casting vote, the fact that I have seen neither film made that impossible.  As a result, both posters claim maximum points and consolidate their excellent starts.  For the third round in a row, I believe the poster in second place had the best offering, which was superfly with City of God.  Anyone who didn’t vote for City of God should be struck down by lightning.  Union managed to claim 8 whole points which is more than he has claimed in all the other cups put together.  Adam's offering of Moulin Rouge finished joint second last, which proves there is some justice in the world.

Updated league table is here:

compelling & rich (The Dark Knight) : (12) 28
Hero (Inception): (12) 26
Adam (Moulin Rouge): (3) 19
seanmichaels (Argo): (6) 18
Azzy (Anchorman): (7) 18
The Womble (Memento): (5) 18
superflyweight (City of God): (10) 16
onlytreblewinners (Inglorious Basterds): (7) 14
Galted (Oldboy): (4) 14
Union (In Bruges): (8) 13
Jeff (Gladiator): (8) 12
Dolphin Ziggler (The Return of the King): (5) 12
jbeadlesbigrighthand (The Lives of Others): (3) 11
The Boss (Walk the Line): (5) 10
TopHat (Warrior): (3) 10
bhb001 (American Psycho): (5) 9
ChequeredJersey (Pan’s Labyrinth): (6) 7
JuliusHMarx (Match Point): (2) 6

The next round moves back to Books and Literature and there will be no restriction on what era you pick from which should appease Jeff and Julius, our resident Statler and Waldorf impersonators.  What I am looking for is the best piece of literature with a name in the title.  It can be a book, a play, a poem, a short story, whatever you want so long as it has a name in the title.  I will be the sole judge of what constitutes a name, and I am only allowing 1 book from a series.  

Please PM me a couple of choices in case your first effort is taken.  This will be the last round until around the 25th/26th September as I have to go away, but please can you PM me by the end of this week so I can get back to you if I need another choice.

Here is the poll for round 4 and remember, IT IS OPEN FOR THE WHOLE FORUM TO VOTE!

Thanks.

I've met her in the street twice. Once was just before she got the Big Breakfast job, and the other time up town a couple of years ago. She's really not all that without airbrushing.

No need to look at the mantel piece when you're poking the fire.

You're quite odd, Scotty.

I remember way back on the old Trash Talk section that you asked me for pictures of my wife.

Probably suspected you of preferring men.

I could swap them for some imaginary pictures of TIMC.

I sometimes wish that she was imaginary, dragged me off to watch an Insidious / Insidious 2 double bill last night, there's 5 hours I'll never get back.

Was Insidious 2 rubbish? I really didn't enjoy the first one.

And how an earth did you stay awake for 5 hours in the cinema?

I struggle with a couple of hours. My arse tends to hurt after 15 mins of sitting down.

The constant rustling of popcorn bags and people whispering kept me awake.

The film was pretty standard fare, it continues from the end of the first one so if you weren't keen on that I doubt you'd enjoy it.

Once again finding away to hate on everything.

Have seen her at the London bike ride thingy, just passing in the street and in a bar by work and each time she has been abosolutely stunning. Dumber than a box of rocks I grant you, but who cares when she's that hot?! Naturally beautiful with the perfect figure.   

Sophie Anderton was far hotter when I saw her. Little makeup and early mornings just don't help some people

Sophie Anderton too skinny.....

Sorted that one for you, Azzy.

I'm man enough to admit that Darren Anderton is/was hot. Doesn't scare me.

I ran my fastest ever 10k by following Sophie Anderton during the London Marathon. I was desperate to keep up, that behind was

It was a good'un.

Its quite torturous that its been left on 99 votes though.

Only Nena would be happy with that.

It's over two and a half months since round 4 began.  Astonishing.

Though some quite unpleasant people would probably say that that was the average length in a round of Tino's culture cup.  Not me.
