This is messed up.

 

Ghostbusters in comedy? Yes its funny, but I wouldn't say it was a comedy.

The Dark Knight in Action and Drama?

Robocop is in two brackets too

 

I'll do my votes if its suppose to be like that, but it doesn't seem very balanced.

Salo under comedy and I Spit On Your Grave under War/Western are the weirdest.

Yeah, movies could be nominated for more than one category if they fit in more than one. A few movies are like that (Robocop, Lawrance of Arabia, The Dark Knight) ... It's because we're deciding the best movie from each category as subprizes, and then the best overall movie as the main prize. If a movie wins in two categories, it will go up against itself in round five.

 

Where would you put Ghostbusters, in horror? I think it's more of a comedy than anything else.

I haven't seen either of those movies, so I don't know why somebody nominated them under those categories. Knock 'em out in round 1 and it'll all be clean.

 

Also, alot of the genres had to be put together for the numbers to work, like War and Western, Action and Adventure, Epic and Historical.

Sci-Fi? Just compared to the films around it in comedy, its hardly comedy.

Yeah, I didn't want to get too OCD over the whole thing though. In the long run, it doesn't really matter. The movies that people think are the best from each category will win.

 

Like I said, Ghostbusters fell enough under comedy for me to accept it and I haven't seen the other two so couldn't say anything about them.

It's too bad we couldn't have done some seeding. Some of these first round matchups are really difficult, while some mediocre films look like they're going to get a free pass for a few rounds- Crime and Gangster is the hardest bracket as is. Ah well.

I was tempted to pick Wild Wild Wesst over Full Metal Jacket just to see what would happen... I know I picked some that may not be agreed, based on if I've seen the movie in a couple instances. Some were hard, like original Nightmare on Elm Street vs. 28 Days Later because I could make arguments on both.

Not with Jurassic Park being in Epics/Historical! That's just flat-out absurd.

 

I could also point out the fantasy films under sci-fi, since fantasy and sci-fi really are two different things, but most people just lump them together anyway so I'll leave it be.

I haven't seen either of those movies, so I don't know why somebody nominated them under those categories. Knock 'em out in round 1 and it'll all be clean.

I couldn't have possibly been the only one who noticed that Agent loaded up his ballot with a bunch of obscure disgusting cult flicks which had nothing to do with the genres mentioned, could I? Huh. Maybe so.

This is messed up.

 

Ghostbusters in comedy? Yes its funny, but I wouldn't say it was a comedy.

The Dark Knight in Action and Drama?

Robocop is in two brackets too

 

I'll do my votes if its suppose to be like that, but it doesn't seem very balanced.

 

Yeah, movies could be nominated for more than one category if they fit in more than one. A few movies are like that (Robocop, Lawrance of Arabia, The Dark Knight) ... It's because we're deciding the best movie from each category as subprizes, and then the best overall movie as the main prize. If a movie wins in two categories, it will go up against itself in round five.

 

Where would you put Ghostbusters, in horror? I think it's more of a comedy than anything else.

 

Ghostbusters is a comedy, and I'm ashamed I didn't think of it when I made my choices.

Salo under comedy and I Spit On Your Grave under War/Western are the weirdest.

 

Not with Jurassic Park being in Epics/Historical! That's just flat-out absurd.

 

I could also point out the fantasy films under sci-fi, since fantasy and sci-fi really are two different things, but most people just lump them together anyway so I'll leave it be.

 

Jurassic Park is an epic!

 

Jingus, I hope Agent's movies win.
