    I think up until the natty this tournament has probably had the most in doubt outcomes thus far. Only one #1 seed won its bracket - i.e., Raider of the Lost Ark - and the others were won by #2, #4 and #3 seeds respectively. I had a feeling Godfather II would take down I and make it too the natty, but certainly this wasn't a forgone conclusion.

    How can this not be Full Metal Jacket vs GF2?

    Y'all can fuck off, drink bleach, and DIAFF. I'm not voting. This, at least in my mind, invalidates the final and the whole gawd damned tournament.

    The title game was Godfather I vs II ... always how it was going to be

    The rest had questionable outcomes and results

    We are not in Soviet Russia (sorry @DerekJohnson ) and the will of the people gave us this natty game. Sure, there's always a little voter fraud with the alt armies and what not but it all kind of works out in the end.

    FMJ had a hell of a run. They had to get through Apocalypse Now which I never thought would happen.

    I dont remember that matchup. I would've voted for Apocalypse Now in that.

    I'm not saying FMJ should win, or even that it should've made the finals, but Big Lebowski is a first or second round level flick in a tourney like this, not finals level. Fuck!

    Overall this was a good tournament. The best movie ever is GFII.

    That's how it came out here. I'm proud to have voted in all of them (I think).

    You guys are fucking insane for your love of ROTLA and your complete stupidity regarding STAR WARS. But whatever.

    Well done all of us. We picked the obvious thing.

    Even though it may seem like it isn't much of an achievement, think of how many times the obvious and logical choice gets fucked up when it's put to committee. At least we can spell CAT collectively.

    The fact that we got even 1 thing right is a fucking miracle.

    I actually agree with DDY overall. I voted better than everyone, but I expect that and am self programmed to see only that. So, fuck off and die one and all. Decent job in the polls though.

    Weird tourney for me, as I picked almost every single loser, yet my favorite movie of all time made the finals. And will apparently lose. FUFE, but I'm cool.

    You had by far the dumbest take in this tourney with your LOTR blasphemy.

    Not so Gladice. I'd happily hear why you think so and debate the matter if you care to.

    Those might have been fine, mindless hollywood action flicks; actually I'll grant that. They were absolute betrayals of the source material though, and senselessly so.

    The debate is over. They are some of the most celebrated and beloved movies in history, sweeping the Oscars (only time in history) and smashing the box office. AFI Top 15 all time. IMDB #7. Considering the breadth and depth of the source material -- long called unfilmable -- for them to turn out as great as they did is borderline miraculous. Whether or not a few geriatric crustheads whine about change X or Y is wholly immaterial. They are borderline perfection, and in the case of the extended Two Towers, absolute perfection.

    Say your piece if you must but I'm done here.

    Jeez is Peter Jackson your father?

    Its not about change X or Y. It's about making movies based on books and failing to stay true to the very nature of the characters. It's about invented plot devices and stunts performed by empty characters speaking retarded lines that the screen writers made up just so simpleton moviegoers will be adequately spoon fed their entertainment.

    Citing sales and bullshit accolades given by hollywood is a lazy argument and carries no weight whatsoever.

    I did have a friend in high school that was in our first group to get high with. He was a Lord of the Rings guy but also stoned out of his mind all the time

    I'm not stoned ALL the time. Just when I'm being a geriatric crusthead on my porch with my LOTR books.
