Culture Cup 2.0 Round 6

by Mind the windows Tino. Wed 10 Jun 2015, 3:18 pm

First topic message reminder :

Round 5 is over and what a controversial round it was. The big winners were Stella with Definitely Maybe and Beadle with Grace who both pick up maximum points. All is not what it seems though. Tactical voting from at least 2 people (myself and Jeff) and possibly more meant that Grace was able to claim joint first place. There is just never any reason for Definitely Maybe to be in a discussion about greatest debut albums. Never. It has crushed my soul to think that people believe that. But hey, what do I know. Apparently it’s “musically important”. Who would have thought it. I thought it was just important for sales of Parka coats. I’m deeply fond of Stella but he deserves to be locked in a room with SerialDAVE for an hour as punishment. Locked in a room after SerialDAVE has just been snubbed by the whole of SLAYER. GrumpyG*lfer had a solid round with The Who, picking up 8 points. A great round for Paul as his 6 points for the Sex Pistols means he has joined Hero at the top of the league. A massive zero for Hero (see what I did there?) means a few posters have closed the gap on our reigning champion. Sean would have had a storming round, but he is too dim to comprehend simple questions and as such, nominated Slim Shady which fell outside the criteria. Shame. Union Cane managed to pick up some votes for Force & Styles which will cheer him up after getting nothing in the last round his favourite film of all time, The Iron Lady. Big news in the battle between Jeff and ~~Mel Gibson~~ superfly. Jeff, somewhat surprisingly, got nothing for the Gilded Palace of Sin whereas ‘Fly got a solid 5 points for The Stone Roses (which he only picked to sh*t on Jeff) meaning he leaps above his arch rival in the table. No holds barred in that particular scrap. Poor old Galted. No votes or points for him again but don’t worry, he has procured a new pair of cargo pants and laces for his Hi-Tecs so has a spring in his step regardless. No points for SerialDAVE with his pick, which is probably bad news for Bradford’s prostitute population.

Here is the updated league table:

1) Hero 30 pts
2) Paul 30 pts
3) Trebs 27 pts
4) C&R 24 pts
5) The Boss 24 pts
6) GumpyG*lfer 22 pts
7) Ziggler 21 pts
8) Fat Head Adam 21 pts
9) Harrier 19 pts
10) Michaels 16 pts
11) weeman 16 pts
12) Beadle 16 pts
13) Azzy 14 pts
14) Shah abu-bakr 12 pts
15) Stella 12 pts
16) Nakatomi 11 pts
17) SerialDAVE 9 pts
18) superfly 9 pts
19) Jeff 8 pts
20) Jules 8 pts
21) Union Cane 7 pts
22) Dagless 7 pts
23) Ray Mears big fat zero pts

Round 6 is back to books so please see the poll for WHAT IS THE BEST SPORT THEMED BOOK EVER?

I'd smash up Bieber no problems. West is probably a softcock. Al-Bagdadi could go either way. I'd be hoping he was injured and malnutritioned in some way.

I'm in with a shout of winning this, but it's who to pick that everyone else on here would love.

There isn't a day that goes by that my love for Union doesn't increase a smidge.

His picks are hilarious. L*l out loud, in fact.

Reminder as we are on a new page.

The Final Double Point Extravaganza Round is next and what I want from you is THE BEST COMBINATION OF FILM, ALBUM and AUTHOR. It can be any combination you like, there are no restrictions at all. I just need one album, one film and one author (not a book/poem/play, the actual author of it). People can then vote for the best combination of the 3.

I'm not going to bother with the random list as the chances of anyone having the exact same 3 picks is pretty remote. If it does happen, then I'll just choose basis who I like the most.

Please get your PM's in.

by **superflyweight** Tue 16 Jun 2015, 1:42 pm

What populist nonsense do I pick to make sure I beat Jeff?

Fast and Furious 15, something by Adele, Dan Brown should just about do it.

For the sake of f*ck. Andy McNab then.

by Mind the windows Tino. Tue 16 Jun 2015, 2:08 pm

I could, of course, tell you what Jeff has picked and you could choose exactly the same.

At least then you’d both know who I liked the most between you.

by **superflyweight** Tue 16 Jun 2015, 2:12 pm

Jeff will have gone for:

Godfather II
Some obscure jazz album or Telling Stories by the Charlatans
Philip Roth

by Guest Tue 16 Jun 2015, 2:14 pm

All jazz albums are obscure, Super....oh, and sh!t as well!

by **seanmichaels** Tue 16 Jun 2015, 2:17 pm

If you're choosing individual tracks for Sean then there's "Buttf*cked with a Shotgun Barrel" by Birds of Prey or, for when he's feeling in a more romantic, sensuous mood, "She was asking for it"* by Cannibal Corpse

* he could also have "Stripped, Raped and Strangled" or "Entrails Ripped from a Virgin's C*nt"

After a reunion night out with the prefects he could have "Battery Acid Enema" by Autopsy or "Gargling with Infected Semen" by Amputated

Having trouble reading, Shah?

I wanted the author not the book. But don't worry, I am aware of who wrote it so I amend it for you.

by Trebs Thu 18 Jun 2015, 8:49 am

I'll submit a pm today.

The question is, do i go for my favourite album of all time which i have a strong emotional connection to or do i pick one of the obvious. Especially as I'm in with a shout.

I have a hipster idea for best author. What is the average age of people voting in this because sam smith was criminally underrated in favour of some 80s dross.

by Adam D Thu 18 Jun 2015, 8:52 am

I have sent mine - waiting for the abuse.

by Adam D Thu 18 Jun 2015, 8:54 am

And just to justify my selection:

album - its my favourite "popular" album and I was listening to it this morning
Film - Awesome film that stands the test of time and is just as good now as it was then
Book - my childrens favourite author, who was also mine when I was their age.

I'm really glad I did not pick on the basis of what I was listening to this morning. Would make Galted's choices look popular.

Steps are fantastic. Besides the Bee Gees, they are the band I wish I'd seen before they split up.

"F*cking ghastly" is a good way to describe some gormlessly grinning couple's new baby when everyone is fawning over it and arguing about who it most resembles.

Certainly not. The album is simply marvellous.

Rivalled only by The Head On The Door as the greatest album ever.

by **superflyweight** Thu 18 Jun 2015, 11:22 am

I can never decide which is my favourite film or album so have decided to go with desert island discs style picks and chosen a film and an album that I'd be happy to watch and listen to over and over again.

by Roller_Coaster Thu 18 Jun 2015, 11:45 am

Shame it is author and not book otherwise the triumvirate of Trainspotting, Trainspotting and Trainspotting could be up there.

I got bored after 3 minutes of trying to find an author's name that was an album and film title as well, but success in this area will likely garner my vote.
