Lacey Underall division, All-Valley quarterfinals

(3) The Naked Gun


(6) The Terminator

[Guest themetfairy]

Love Naked Gun. It has so many gems, large and small.

Like Steffie's driving lesson (taught by John Houseman) being commandeered by Drebin - hysterical!

[Fman99]

Tiebreaker goes to Queen Elizabeth passing beers at the Angels game.

[metirish]

Tough choice as I could watch both movies if I happened upon them (a good barometer for me) but I voted for Terminator.

[Benjamin Grimm]

I might watch Terminator. I don't think I'd watch Naked Gun.

[Vic Sage]

TERMINATOR is a brilliant movie; NAKED GUN is an annoying movie with some laughs. But it looks like this is going the way of BLADE RUNNER and ROAD WARRIOR.

I think folks here have a predisposition against violent SF films in favor of moronic comedies.

[Benjamin Grimm]

It does look that way.

Me, I've never liked moronic comedies, but I seem to be in the minority.

[seawolf17]

I like how we can go apeshit when someone wants to cut David Wright after an 0-for-20, but when a 20-person vote doesn't go the way we expect, we go apeshit. I love you all.

Naked Gun, and it's not even close.

[Centerfield]

Terminator. And it's not even close.

[Guest themetfairy]

I don't like moronic comedies.

I like good comedies.

Naked Gun is a good comedy.

[bmfc1]

Naked Gun is funny from start to finish and it includes one of the best baseball sequences ever. I'll take Leslie Neilsen over Arnold Schwarzenegger any day of the week.

[Edgy MD]

Really? So you'd take, say, Dracula: Dead and Loving It over True Lies? Mr. Magoo over Total Recall?

[bmfc1]

Good one Edgy--well played. So yes, I would take any movie ever made over anything starring the Governor of California or Mel Gibson, even though I liked "Running Man."

Completely agree.

[Edgy MD]

Come on, bm. We're voting for movies, not for president.

[Benjamin Grimm]

I had a friend in college who wouldn't watch any James Stewart movies because Jimmy was a Republican who palled around with Ronald Reagan.

Me, I don't worry about the political beliefs of the actors in a movie. I take their performance for what it is.

[Edgy MD]

That's goofy. Among other things, when Stewart palled around with Reagan, Reagan was a Democrat. He was a roommate and a lifelong best friend to Henry Fonda, as lefthanded as they come.

We all need to realize that hating the right sort of people is not advancing any noble cause.

[Guest Vince Coleman Firecracker]

One vote separating the two. Should someone send a robot back to the past to assassinate an ancestor of one of the Naked Gun voters?

[Vic Sage]

i vote to suspend bmfc's vote!

[bmfc1]

HEY! I was messing with AG! And since when does our criteria matter?

I will continue to vote on the merits. Even if it means voting for an anti-Semite like Mel Gibson. OK?

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

2 hours left and a tie score. This one could go to the Council of Elders...

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

D'oh, I said Wednesday at noon. 24 hours to go in this one...

[Theoldmole]

My vote puts Terminator out in front 16-15! Hasta la vista, baby.

[HahnSolo]

Where were all you 31 voters when Caddyshack was losing!?!?!?!?!?!

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

The Terminator Will. Be. Back.

17-15 final!

[nymr83]

I'm glad Arnold pulled this one out.

I think we 'mericans can be too brand loyal, to the point we can anchor our self image to a brand. If that hasn't really been you, then great. I think it can be any of us. We get a more interesting and substantial turn out when we look deeper.

How often do you hear variations this exchange in every-day life?

"What do do you think of this song?"

"Who's it by"?

It's been a rough week for you Republicans so I am happy for you both j/k

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

oops. Archive me!
