Damn, can only vote in two matches. Watching The General tonight so i can vote in that match. Been wanting to for ages anyway.

What on Earth are you waiting for? We just showed it to our eight and a half year old neighbor. His mother said it was OK. He freaking loved it. Get to it, son.

p.s. You voted against my movies, dude. Halloween and Jaws. Halloween has always been, and will always be, my number one favorite. That is why I will always consider it my nomination. Even when other people beat me to it.

Camo, Topsy, and Nope, those are pretty good choices. Cricket and Derek, way to f@ckin' go! Tongo, um yeah, sorry about that.

I do love The Fly, a lot. I'm sure I'll vote for that movie, more so than not. I'll have to go see who nominated it.

It just doesn't interest me. I don't like Carpenter or Russel, or generally Hollywood movies.

I kind of like this style of film tournament because you get insight into everyone's taste and experience.

I can't vote in any of them.
