Culture Cup 2.0 Round 6

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

I got bored after 3 minutes of trying to find an author's name that was an album and film title as well

That's because you're not as clever as Jules.  He managed it within about 3 minutes of the question going up.

True dat, or I might just be busier at work...*

Reminder for the stragglers

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.

C&R, Paul & Ziggler.  I'm moving you three to defcon 2.

So a playwright counts as an author?

Choices sent - Sorry

When Tino said it was a double bonus final round, was he talking about the amount of time he was going to take to get it up (thats what she said)

Perhaps we should change the name to the Tino Memorial Cup?

I hope Tino is ok. It would be a travesty to get to this far and not finish the cup.

He'll be in Spain spraying Wlad's Oleanders.

Final round is up in Music.

Can one of the Mods please move it global.
