Tough round

by GG Mon Jun 13, 2011 2:01 pm

all my 3 are there!

by **ADMIN** Mon Jun 13, 2011 2:02 pm

I picked 5 just in case!
I got my 4th but all of them are there.

by GG Mon Jun 13, 2011 8:43 pm

did i get my first choice?

by Adam D Mon Jun 13, 2011 8:46 pm

I am not going to tell people what their choices are this week - you should be voting for the ones you like, not the ones you picked!

Which is why I didnt vote for mine!

by Guest Mon Jun 13, 2011 8:52 pm

I haven't seen Inception, but judging by the votes I suppose I better had.

by Fernando Mon Jun 13, 2011 8:55 pm

best sci fi film ever gotta watch it a few times otherwise your have no clue what's going on. i had to watch it 4 times to figure everything out

by Davie Mon Jun 13, 2011 8:58 pm

Shame I can't use my 3 votes to vote for Blade Runner 3 times. Nothing else comes close

by hornbloweroafc Mon Jun 13, 2011 9:04 pm

In Space, no one hears you scream! - Said all you needed to know about Alien, brilliant film!

Tough choices this week. I think only a couple of votes will seperate the winner from the rest

by Adam D Mon Jun 13, 2011 9:47 pm

I really wish I hadnt gone for the film I had.

Other films I considered:

The Thing
Planet of the Apes
Iron Man

by Guest Mon Jun 13, 2011 9:49 pm

Didnt you star in the top 2 of those Hobo?

by calamity jane Mon Jun 13, 2011 10:25 pm

I'm surprised 2001 isn't on the list, but there are some awesome choices. I really struggled to narrow it down to three.

Is a Clockwork Orange Sci-Fi?

That's what I thought, but I checked the holy grail of IMDb and it counts it as Crime, Drama, Sci-fi so it got a vote from me.

Why am I back to 5 points? After round 2 I had 6? Why do you hate me?? Sad

by Guest Tue Jun 14, 2011 10:29 am

It might have something to do with your love for all things Crystal Skull Wink

by AquaArab Tue Jun 14, 2011 10:57 am

Oh yeah i forgot he was a Crystal Skull hater. I new that would come back to haunt me one day. I'm going to be the Alan Davies of 606v2 and finish with -50 points at this rate.

by Adam D Tue Jun 14, 2011 11:18 am

I obviously used an old table!

I will give you an extra point this week, okay?

by AquaArab Tue Jun 14, 2011 11:21 am

WooHoo!

by MR. scotland27 Tue Jun 14, 2011 5:47 pm

How come there is no District 9? that film is incredible.....

by AquaArab Tue Jun 14, 2011 6:50 pm

I put District 9 as one of my choices, such a cracking film.

by AberdeenSteve Wed Jun 15, 2011 11:22 am

This is way to close Shocked

by Adam D Wed Jun 15, 2011 6:24 pm

Just to let you all know ahead of time what next weeks topic is:

NExt weeks round is:

Films with a number in the title but the number cant be part of a sequel (ie no Godfather 2).

by Guest Wed Jun 15, 2011 6:27 pm

There is only one winner for that round.

*YI stays up till midnight on Thursday to get his pick in 1st*

by **ADMIN** Wed Jun 15, 2011 6:30 pm

I guess it'll be several pms to Hobo for Three Ninjas then.

by Adam D Wed Jun 15, 2011 6:47 pm

Already received YI's suggestion - Free Willy

by Guest Wed Jun 15, 2011 6:51 pm

That wasnt connected to the movie cup. That was about the 'other' matter Laugh

by calamity jane Wed Jun 15, 2011 6:53 pm

Hey Hobo, seeing as most of us came here via 606, I hope you're going to have a 'sports films' round. Smile

by Guest Fri Jun 17, 2011 12:14 am

Did you get your choices in for the next round? Get them in quick Very Happy

by **Derbyblue** Fri Jun 17, 2011 12:23 am

I'm glad you posted that YI or I'd have left it until the weekend

by Adam D Sat Jun 18, 2011 1:30 pm

Dont forget to send me your nominations for next week thumbsup

by AquaArab Sat Jun 18, 2011 9:24 pm

Did you get my selections for next week? My messages are stuck in my outbox for some reason.

by AberdeenSteve Sun Jun 19, 2011 11:27 am

I have the same issue as above

by Guest Sun Jun 19, 2011 11:48 am

Its just because Hobo hasnt read them yet. Im sure he is keeping them like that so that they stand out (with the red icon). Dont panic lads.

Not that it matters though, the next round is mine Very Happy

by Adam D Sun Jun 19, 2011 12:41 pm

Must have missed yours aberdeen - your top choice is fine.

Aqua - PM'd you back with a note to say all 3 had already gone!

by AberdeenSteve Sun Jun 19, 2011 12:48 pm

Cheer Hobo, no worries at all mate.

by Guest Sun Jun 19, 2011 12:53 pm

Its all in vain raspberry

by **Derbyblue** Tue Jun 21, 2011 12:12 am

Shouldn't the new round be up by now?

by Suspicious lurker Tue Jun 21, 2011 12:16 am

Hobo, explain this thread to me please what is going on??

by Adam D Tue Jun 21, 2011 7:51 am

Hughie - we have been running a movie cup for the last 4 weeks (likely to run for 8).

I asked people to join the comp - we had 12 people join. Each week I choose a topic/ theme and they PM me there nominations. I then put up a poll and te whole forum can vote on their favourite from the list. At the end of each week, the one with the highest tally gets the respective points.

At the end of week 8, the winner is named Movie Cup champion.

Simple.

You can vote for your top 3 each week.

This weeks up later this morning.
