Complete chalk in round one for the Moxon Region. Probably due to such great seeding on the part of the committee. After the jump, your second round match-ups…
------------------------------
#1 Varsity Blues - Mox: Playing football for West Canaan may have been the opportunity of your lifetime, but I... don't want... your life!
#8 The Dark Knight - The Joker: Let's put a smile on that face!
Both of these combatants easily handled their first round opponents (Boondock Saints and Zombieland, respectively). Anyone else think the Joker bears a striking resemblance to Bud Kilmer?
------------------------------
#4 This is Spinal Tap - Nigel Tufnel: The numbers all go to eleven. Look, right across the board, eleven, eleven, eleven and... Marty DiBergi: Oh, I see. And most amps go up to ten? Nigel Tufnel: Exactly. Marty DiBergi: Does that mean it's louder? Is it any louder? Nigel Tufnel: Well, it's one louder, isn't it? It's not ten. You see, most blokes, you know, will be playing at ten. You're on ten here, all the way up, all the way up, all the way up, you're on ten on your guitar. Where can you go from there? Where? Marty DiBergi: I don't know. Nigel Tufnel: Nowhere. Exactly. What we do is, if we need that extra push over the cliff, you know what we do? Marty DiBergi: Put it up to eleven. Nigel Tufnel: Eleven. Exactly. One louder. Marty DiBergi: Why don't you just make ten louder and make ten be the top number and make that a little louder? Nigel Tufnel: [pause] These go to eleven.
#5 Princes Bride - Inigo Montoya: Hello. My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die.
Once again, both quotes won handily in the first round, garnering over 70% of the vote. This is a huge 4/5 match-up. This one’s going to 11 people.
------------------------------
#3 The Blues Brothers - Elwood: It's 106 miles to Chicago, we got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark, and we're wearing sunglasses. Jake: Hit it.
#6 The Big Lebowski - Walter Sobchak: OVER THE LINE! Smokey: Huh? Walter Sobchak: I'm sorry, Smokey. You were over the line, that's a foul. Smokey: Bullshit. Mark it 8, Dude. Walter Sobchak: Uh, excuse me. Mark it zero. Next frame. Smokey: Bullshit, Walter. Mark it 8, Dude. Walter Sobchak: Smokey, this is not 'Nam. This is bowling. There are rules.
A match-up of two cult classics. I think The Dude and Elwood would have made pretty good friends.
------------------------------
#2 The Rock - John Mason: Are you sure you're ready for this? Stanley Goodspeed: I'll do my best. John Mason: Your "best"! Losers always whine about their best. Winners go home and f*ck the prom queen. Stanley Goodspeed: Carla was the prom queen. John Mason: Really? Stanley Goodspeed: [cocks his gun] Yeah.
#7 Ghostbusters - Dr Ray Stantz: Fire and brimstone coming down from the skies! Rivers and seas boiling! Dr. Egon Spengler: Forty years of darkness! Earthquakes, volcanoes... Winston Zeddemore: The dead rising from the grave! Dr. Peter Venkman: Human sacrifice, dogs and cats living together... mass hysteria!
Ghostbusters actually managed to get the highest vote total in the Region, receiving almost 75%. But a tough match-up in round two could spell trouble. Mason is still angry about not getting a number 1 seed. "This is bullshit," Mason said in an interview with Highlights. "I’d like to find the little shit that put this together, and shove a green ball of VX gas down his throat!" The North Endzone has no comment.

Good luck to all participants.| < Prev | Next > |
