The polls currently up "close" (if I ever figure out how to do that) noon tomorrow, eastern standard time. Village v. Blues Bros. 2000 is still close.

Second round of polls go up tonight or tomorrow. Here they are, feel free to discuss:

(2) Caddyshack II vs. (31) The Aristocrats
(15) Feardotcom vs. (18) The Day After Tomorrow
(7) Dumb and Dumber vs. (26) Street Fighter
(10) Ready to Rumble vs. (23) The Break-Up
(3) Van Helsing vs. (30) Ace Ventura: Pet Detective
(14) Romeo + Juliet vs. (19) Demi Moore's Scarlet Letter
(6) The Cat in the Hat vs. (27) Mr. Wrong
(11) The Master of Disguise vs. (22) Borat

I'll be pushing hard for Master of Disguise to beat Borat. I'll go search some clips.

[National Champion Chris Cole]

3 matches involve movies that I've seen both and kinf od like both. That will be interesting. Only one matchup has two films I haven't seen.

[The Jewish Cunthead]

Master of Disguise... was that the Carvey flick? He really deserved better than that.

[National Champion Chris Cole]

With Scary Movie 2 doomed to defeat Master of Disguise might be the next one I try to lead to victory. That was awful.

(6) The Cat in the Hat vs. (27) Mr. Wrong

I'm sure Mr. Wrong was bad, even though I never saw it. I mean the premise of Ellen Degeneres as a leading lady romantically involved with a man is just......wrong.

HOWEVER....

The Cat in the Hat is one of the single worst movies ever made.

• They tried to appeal to both kids and adults - kind of in a Shrek "the kids will like it but there's funny adult stuff in there too." They missed on BOTH accounts (this is the only movie we've taken my kid to see in the theater where he wanted to leave before the movie was over. He wanted to take the uneaten portion of his popcorn and leave. And when I said "but you can't take your popcorn with you", he said "that's ok - we can leave it here." )
  
• While I liked both Wayne's Worlds, there were parts of each where Mike Myers just had this smugness and "you should really be laughing at this" delivery even though it's not funny. This ENTIRE movie was that. Mike saying something unfunny. Then looking at the camera with that "aw come on you want to laugh you should laugh" look.
  
• HERE is a 10 minute clip of the movie. Watch any 1-minute section. I dare you. I don't care where you start or stop. If you aren't annoyed as all fuck then you probably shouldn't be voting in any contests in this showdown because there is something wrong with you.
  

[National Champion Chris Cole]

I didn't think Cat in the Hat was that bad.

[williamssl]

Wow - dead to Lucky and to me. All in one day.

[National Champion Chris Cole]

This is what I love about the internet. If you don't hate something that somebody else does then something is wrong with you.

Nobody is dead to me and I think Scary Movie 2 is the number one worst movie. Let go of your hate Texas-san.

[The Jewish Cunthead]

This is the first I've seen of Cat In The Hat... I loved the books so much I couldn't bring myself to see it or the Grinch.

... and I'm glad I didn't. What the fuck was Myers going for? It's like he's trying to be a nebbish Woody Allen-esque Cat. Fucking stupid.

Don't worry Chris, you're still OK in my book.

[Chris Eco]

By the way, today's polls close noon on Monday the 20th.

Then we''ll have part 1 of round 2:

(1) Batman & Robin vs. (16) Glitter
( Blues Bros. 2000 vs. (9) House of the Dead
(4) Superman Returns vs. (20) The Postman
(5) Superman IV vs. (12) Rocky V

[Chris Eco]

Okay, polls closed. We now have elite 8 matchups of Batman vs. House of the Dead and Postman vs. Rocky V.

Round 2, Part 2:

(2) Caddyshack II vs. (18) The Day After Tomorrow
(26) Street Fighter vs. (10) Ready to Rumble
(3) Van Helsing vs. (19) Demi Moore's Scarlet Letter
(6) The Cat in the Hat vs. (11) The Master of Disguise

And these close Sunday/Monday midnight. I expect discussion!

[Chris Eco]

Okay, Elite 8 matches go up tomorrow when I can, but just to give a heads up:

(1) Batman & Robin vs. (9) House of the Dead
(12) Rocky V vs. (20) Postman
(2) Caddyshack II vs. (26) Street Fighter
(3) Van Helsing vs. (6) The Cat in the Hat

Some surprises here, especially the dual knockouts of Superman Returns and Superman IV. However, our top 3 seeds--and two very strong top 10 contenders--are still in it. WHAT WILL HAPPEN!?!?!?

[williamssl]

Batman
Postman
Caddyshack
Cat

Although all but my last vote are up for grabs and open for swaps for Cat votes (think it's gonna need 'em this time).

[Chris Eco]

I'm putting up Final Four Right now:

(1) Batman & Robin vs. (12) Rocky V
(2) Caddyshack II vs. (6) The Cat in the Hat

If Caddyshack II beats The Cat in the Hat, somebody's getting banned. I don't know if I can ban people. But at least smited really hard.

In memoriam of Street Fighter:

[The Jewish Cunthead]

B&R vs. Rocky V is the final in my opinion.

[williamssl]

Your opinion is wrong. And gay. It shares something in common with you.

[DevSop]

Shocking a gay joke from Tex. Will wonders never cease?

[williamssl]

Your post is boring, moronic, stupid, hypocritical, and otherwise worthless. It shares something in common with you.

[Chris Eco]

Tex, brain fart. Didn't you originally post that you didn't think Cat could win, and now it's something else with no edit mark?

Or am I completely insane?
