Culture Cup 2.0 Rd 1 (Films)

by Mind the windows Tino. Fri 08 May 2015, 12:43 pm

Right, here we go with the start of the Culture Cup 2.0

All nominations are cast and the voting process is ready. If you’re not all voted out after the excitement of yesterday, then please put your X in a box here.

Think carefully as you only get one vote and vote cancelling is not allowed.

The question for this round was - WHAT IS THE BEST FILM WITH NO MORE THAN 2 WORDS IN THE TITLE?

Remember, this is open TO ANYONE ON 606v2 WHO WANTS TO VOTE.

I’ve cunningly used www.random.org to mix up the titles so they are not in order of the list of posters.

Many thanks,
Tino.

Goodfellas is, but it's not on the list.

by Rowley Fri 08 May 2015, 1:12 pm

In the spirit of things I have not voted for my personal choice.

Cockwomble, that was my second choice I believe.

Christ on a bike there's some sh1te up there. Fancy so many people wasting the fact that they didn't have my last pick.

Won't vote for my own but need to give this some thought.

by Rowley Fri 08 May 2015, 1:19 pm

Nice to see Galted got his first pick with Inception.

by Stella Fri 08 May 2015, 1:21 pm

I've gone for Pulp Fiction!

Independence Day???

not gone for my own but blimey there is some pap up there...

by Azzy Fri 08 May 2015, 1:25 pm

I voted for my second choice, Reservoir Dogs. Some absolute trash nominated, and some massively over-hyped films too. But I won't slag others off until I'm well behind in the voting Culture Cup 2.0 Rd 1 (Films) 3559488474

by Mind the windows Tino. Fri 08 May 2015, 1:26 pm

Can everyone please note that Casablanca is also one of the choices.

It should be up there soon once Adam amends the poll for me (yes, I know, before you all give me sh*t for arsing it up already).

If you want to vote for Casablanca, just PM me and I'll add them in at the end.

by Azzy Fri 08 May 2015, 1:27 pm

In all seriousness, I would have nominated Braveheart but with the SNP's success I didn't think that would go down well.

Casablanca is up there now.

Thanks Edam.

by **Hero** Fri 08 May 2015, 1:52 pm

Adam will now be scratching his head as I did it Wink

by **superflyweight** Fri 08 May 2015, 1:53 pm

After all that, Casablanca is likely to gather no votes.

I always liked you more than him anyway.

Apart from the one it already has, of course.

is it the original King Kong?

I missed Jaws......bum!

Not sure. The poster didn't specify.

Some good choices there. I imagine my choice belongs in the "pap" section that Rick mentioned.

Still, vote cast, and not for my own. This time.

by **rIck_dAgless** Fri 08 May 2015, 2:24 pm

I reckon mine is too weeman

by The Womble Fri 08 May 2015, 2:35 pm

From this selection I couldn't decide between Leon and Scarface. Opted for Leon. So many great films not up there.

by The Womble Fri 08 May 2015, 2:36 pm

Independence Day and The Exorcist? Really??

by Rowley Fri 08 May 2015, 2:39 pm

How is Leon winning this? Is alright, but seriously the best on the list?

by dancingweeman Fri 08 May 2015, 2:43 pm

A recurring theme I fear.

For me at least.

What happens Jeff, is that people cast their votes and then whichever film has the most votes cast for it at any one time is in the lead.

Does that clear it up for you?

Was thinking the same thing, some brilliant films on the list without a vote yet, how do I change my vote?

You can't. Once the poll is set, it can't be changed.

On the next one, I will set the poll up so you can cancel and re-enter a vote. It will still only be a single vote per poster though.

Cheers Tina. Much clearer now.

I went for Pan's Labyrinth. I'll be bloody annoyed if that's superflyweight's choice as he's a scoundrel. A right bloody scoundrel.

He originally went for Legally Blonde but I managed to talk him out of it.

How angry is Galted going to be when he realises Inception is on the list.

I think he will probably put some Hi-Tecs on, get the Jack Wolfskin out and go for a really determined walk to relieve the tension.

There is some sh1t on there. I suspect that a third of the nominations were courtesy of michaels.

Incidentally, as a mod do you have any idea why I was banned earlier. Was it to stop me voting for Pan's Labyrinth?

F*ck you, Tino. F*ck you and you Culture Cup 2.0.

A lot!

by Rowley Fri 08 May 2015, 3:25 pm

Didn't know you were mate. It wasn't me. Tina asks me to do it all the time, but I always refuse.

by dancingweeman Fri 08 May 2015, 3:37 pm

There's probably 5 films up there that, looking at it now, i'd rather have than my 1st choice.

Does that mean that i should've picked them instead initially, or because i have to be prompted to remember them, was i right not to?

Still no votes for my pap.

by **Dolphin Ziggler** Fri 08 May 2015, 3:39 pm

I didn't. If you slag off Inception I'll happily do it though. Three times at once. Just like when Tina bends over at his social club parties.

by Mind the windows Tino. Fri 08 May 2015, 3:43 pm

Bummer.

No, it's the Jessica Lange one unfortunately from 1976... but I agree the original one had more suspense and better acting.

Being banned by you would be an honour, Jeff.

I do suspect that Tino had a hand in it though.

by Guest Fri 08 May 2015, 4:57 pm

I was going to put it down too but figured by the time I posted my votes, eight of you would have already chosen it so I went for something else, not as good as Goodfellas but OK-ish..."Henry, Portrait of a Serial Killer" has too many words apparently!

by **JuliusHMarx** Fri 08 May 2015, 5:36 pm

Went for Casablanca, as it was my second choice. Nearly went for King Kong though.
As usual people are voting for some mediocre stuff, leaving my pick with 0 votes.
And that after I made a point not to nominate any Marx Brothers films.

Cockwombles, the lot of you.

by Guest Fri 08 May 2015, 5:40 pm

YOU'RE A CURMUDGEONLY OLD GIT, JULES

I thought that it was you who nominated Casablanca. My revised guess for your nomination would be The Exorcist.

My pick's also got 0 votes to go with my earlier banning. If the news breaks it will overshadow all these f*ckwits announcing their resignations after the election.
