I'm not even going to pretend to be unbiased on this one. Please...it's Freeman/Pitt/Spacey v. Kurt Russell. Please, please, please, please, please, please vote for Se7en.


Se7en



vs.

Miracle

Post nude pics or Eruzione wins again.

Irrelevant to the tourney, but I'd like to go on record saying Miracle might be one of the top 10 PG movies ever.

Se7en is just begging for a Justin Timberlake remix. "It's my head in a box!"

I'm not a sports fan, so I can't say if Miracle nailed that side of it. I suspect so. But I can say for sure that the movie nailed Minnesota fucking perfectly. Wa-a-ay better than Fargo. WCCO radio sounded like WCCO radio. The accents were right, instead of a ridiculous parody. Kurt Russell hair looked like a middle-aged midwestern coach's hair.

Kurt Russell doesn't suck. I don't care. He doesn't.
And while it's true that Miracle suffers from a drastic headinabox shortage, Miracle gave me chills. So did se7en. But in a very different way.

I'll say this, Pitt rules. The desperation he felt when he realized what was in the box and his subsequent reaction are exactly what I felt when I watched the movie. Thems some good actings.

[Lucky]

Miracle's overrated. Seven's strong with a killer dramatic ending. Even if it looks really silly if you pull it out and analyze it. Or watch William Shatner remake it.

[salmonjunkie]

Never seen Miracle. Seven is great.

In case anyone cares. Seven. Of course I don't even care what I pick on this one.

You've made an excellent point here. Really. I'm a Russell fan.

That said, I'm pretty sure that it was Seven when I had my first mid-movie "Holy shit, I'm watching a Brad Pitt movie and didn't even realize it" moment. In other words, it was this movie that made me realize dude can act. Really fucking well.

Add to that one of the best villains in moviedom, and I'm sold on Seven.

The Lemonheads did that song. I think it was called "Eight". The lyrics consisted entirely of "Here comes Gwyneth's head in a box."
Also, if you hit pause at just the right moment, you see the head.
Seven is mad creepy, and I have to say that I hate it. But I hate it because it is so well done. THat has to count for something.

I love Miracle... but I can't vote it ahead of Se7en. Not with Freeman and Spacey bringing the awesome. Even if Miracle nailed the 1980 U.S. Hockey team to a T.

[DevSop]

I still have a problem with the ending of Se7en where something doesn't seem to match the rest of the movie. And Miracle gives me chills everytime the clock hits one minute left.

One of Brad Pitt's finest performances...ok mabye not, but this is no contest. Seven hands down.
