Movies, Actors & Directors (MAD) Tournament: TRAG WINS!!

[tragabigzanda]

Whenever there's active promotion on the part of somebody else, whenever I see somebody all dolled up for a fancy photograph and someone's handing out flyers or whenever there's active promotion for something like that, as an imposition on my day, I hate all those people and I want them to fail. I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

Also, how will y'all determine your votes?

For me, I won't be judging a team as a whole against another team as a whole. I'll be looking at the individual category matchups (60's movie v 60's movie, for example) and seeing which team wins the most of those inner matches.

In case of a tie, I'll look at overall strength of team composition.

I won't be using this shootout approach to voting. I'll be thinking about how happy I'd be with a person's team in a vacuum. Maybe that's just me.

Blowing a first-rounder on Tarantino

His films are just very important to me. If someone else locked him in, even in a later round, I'd be slightly bummed. Probably similar to how Joey felt about securing Fight Club.

We obviously want to get some votes, but it's the most fun when you pick the stuff nearest and dearest* IMO.

*or what's left from the 60's after TGTBATU and 2001 are snapped up. Those were my 1 and 2. Bastards.

Dr Strangelove is still available for the 60s. Just saying.

What a great fucking movie.

That's a solid approach. I dig it. The issue there for me is that I'm pretty happy with most everyone's teams so far. But I guess there are worse ways to spend time than ranking how happy things make you.

Jesus christ. What's your beef with Miley?

Scratch that. Time and a place.

Baller shit. Respect.

Probably a goofy take, but this pick felt too safe to me. Kinda like The Godfather.

My 60’s pick will be controversial, but it’s a great fucking movie so fuck you guys
