You know what that picture means...
Your Elite Eight match-ups, after the jump...
------------------------------
#3 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.
#5 Princess Bride - Inigo Montoya: Hello. My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die.
So, this is just your average #3/#5 elite Eight match-up. The Blues Brothers garnered 75% of the vote in the Sweet Sixteen. But can the boys take down the streaky Inigo Montoya?
------------------------------
#1 Independence Day - President Whitmore: Good morning. In less than an hour, aircraft from here will join others from around the world. And you will be launching the largest aerial battle in this history of mankind. Mankind -- that word should have new meaning for all of us today. We can't be consumed by our petty differences anymore. We will be united in our common interests. Perhaps its fate that today is the 4th of July, and you will once again be fighting for our freedom, not from tyranny, oppression, or persecution -- but from annihilation. We're fighting for our right to live, to exist. And should we win the day, the 4th of July will no longer be known as an American holiday, but as the day when the world declared in one voice: "We will not go quietly into the night! We will not vanish without a fight! We're going to live on! We're going to survive!" Today, we celebrate our Independence Day!
#2 Billy Madison - Principal: Mr. Madison, what you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.
President Whitmore once again triumphs over tough competition. This time, his victim was one Officer Farva. And wait… what is this?? Billy Madison takes down Monty Python!! It was an incredible run by the upstart #11 seed. But William pulled out a 3 vote victory.
So now we have a good ‘ol #1 / #2 shootout. This one could get heated.
------------------------------
#1 Sandlot - Ham Porter: You're killing me Smalls!
#2 Animal House - D-Day: War's over, man. Wormer dropped the big one. Bluto: Over? Did you say "over"? Nothing is over until we decide it is! Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor? Hell no! Otter: Germans? Boon: Forget it, he's rolling. Bluto: And it ain't over now. 'Cause when the goin' gets tough... [thinks hard] Bluto: the tough get goin'! Who's with me? Let's go! [runs out, alone; then returns] Bluto: What the f*ck happened to the Delta I used to know? Where's the spirit? Where's the guts, huh? This could be the greatest night of our lives, but you're gonna let it be the worst. "Ooh, we're afraid to go with you Bluto, we might get in trouble." Well just kiss my ass from now on! Not me! I'm not gonna take this. Wormer, he's a dead man! Marmalard, dead! Niedermeyer... Otter: Dead! Bluto's right. Psychotic, but absolutely right. We gotta take these bastards. Now we could do it with conventional weapons that could take years and cost millions of lives. No, I think we have to go all out. I think that this situation absolutely requires a really futile and stupid gesture be done on somebody's part. Bluto: We're just the guys to do it. D-Day: Let's do it. Bluto: *Let’s do it*!
In another bout of chalk, Ham and Bluto take out Tommy and Frank the Tank. Two epic competitors here. On the one hand, you have the beloved childhood memories. On the other, beloved drunkenhood kinda-hazy memories. Methinks Ham and Bluto would have been good friends if they met each other around 21 years of age
------------------------------
#2 Anchorman - Ron Burgundy: Boy, that escalated quickly... I mean, that really got out of hand fast. Champ Kind: It jumped up a notch. Ron Burgundy: It did, didn't it? Brick Tamland: Yeah, I stabbed a man in the heart. Ron Burgundy: I saw that. Brick killed a guy. Did you throw a trident? Brick Tamland: Yeah, there were horses, and a man on fire, and I killed a guy with a trident. Ron Burgundy: Brick, I've been meaning to talk to you about that. You should find yourself a safehouse or a relative close by. Lay low for a while, because you're probably wanted for murder.
#5 Dazed and Confused - Wooderson: That's what I love about these high school girls, man. I get older, they stay the same age.
And in a sad farewell, the Kansas of the tournament, Big Gulps, is taken out by Matthew fucking McConaughey. My bracket is now completely screwed. I hope Brick takes this jackass out. Right in the heart.
------------------------------
Good luck to all participants... except Wooderson. That guy can screw off.
