TSP Film Tournament 2 - DEAD

[ZachNinjaMonkey]

Oh, true.

- Hot Fuzz
- Airplane
- Red Dwarf
- There's Something About Mary
- The Simpsons

Hot Fuzz and Paul are very similar films when it comes to the comedy. I don't understand how you can like one and hate the other.

Similar in what sense? Just because Simon and Nick are the main stars? The comedy is more clever and out there in Hot Fuzz, while the comedy in Paul is...dumb jokes. Also, the stories are nothing alike.

I find the jokes similar to be honest.

I find the jokes similar to be honest.

How though? Please explain because there was not one joke in Paul that reminded me of the humor in Hot Fuzz.

I can't think of one off the top of my head but It reminded me of Hot Fuzz when I was watching it with the banter between characters.

I was disappointed when I went on to IMDb and discovered that Paul had been written by Pegg and Frost. I thought they really lost a lot of the elements that SotD and Hot Fuzz had when not working with Edgar Wright.
Looking forward to the third in the Cornetto trilogy immensely. The World's End will hopefully be superb.

[I_ROBOFISH]

I choose Happy Gilmore. Paul lacks that one key catalyst: Edgar Wright.

Happy Gilmore whacks Paul with a golf with a 2-4.

2. Goldeneye - Comatos
When a deadly satellite weapon system falls into the wrong hands, only Agent 007 can save the world from certain disaster. Armed with his license to kill, Bond races to Russia in search of the stolen access codes for "Goldeneye," an awesome space weapon that can fire a devastating electromagnetic pulse toward Earth. But 007 is up against an enemy who anticipates his every move: a mastermind motivated by years of simmering hatred. Bond also squares off against Xenia Onatopp, an assassin who uses pleasure as her ultimate weapon.

Hate to vote against Goldeneye, as it's probably my favourite Bond movie, but my vote goes to Alien.

[BorisTheBombastic]

I vote... GoldenEye!

[Tuppence870]

Goddamnit! My favorite horror/sci-fi movie appears in the poll a day before I came back from holiday and then loses horribly to Goldeneye - probably the only Bond movie I haven't seen yet.

I agree. A great horror film that lost to a Bond film I have yet to see (i think).


Updating the next match soon.

[Drifting]

GoldenEye was the best of the Brosnon films by far. In fact, I'd probably call it the best post-"classic era" Bond flick.

[Knives]

Still, I don't think it holds a candle to Alien.

[InfectedSausage]

Sorry for not updating this in a while.


Goldeneye [insert James Bond reference that I can't think of, right now] Alien with a 6-2.

Both separately and together, they live the experience of the American in Tokyo. Bob and Charlotte suffer both confusion and hilarity due to the cultural and language differences between themselves and the Japanese. As the relationship between Bob and Charlotte deepens, they come to the realization that their visits to Japan, and one another, must soon end. Or must they?
