Nice cumback

I was trolling but Inception doesn't beat 300 as an action movie, no way. Action movies make ya wanna go lift some weights from all the awesomeness. Inception required ppl to think.

I don't know how to phrase my reasonings without sounding hypocritical as I picked Aliens over Total Recall. Aliens was more of a horror movie than an action.

It got voted in the tournament fair and square as an action movie. If we based EVERY decision on which movie had the most action over the other (I did that with 7 Samurai vs Apocalypto), this would probably not be that great of a tournament. The Expendables and Fast and Furious 1-8 would make up all the 1 and 2 seeds. I don't mind thinking in an action movie.

The ancestors of the Romans were still one very small step above living in mud huts at the time of the Battle of Thermopylae. They certainly did not fight the Persians.

But what you say IS true of the Classical-period Greeks.

Shocked it was in the tournament. More shocked that it was a #11 seed. That movie is dogshite. Its the worst movie in Tournament.

An aside...

Why is Robocop losing to Crouching Tiger?

A run of the mill kung-fu flick. Hong Kong audiences were bewildered by Oscars love for it. It didn't even screen that well in the Far East...they were like, yeah, this is what we do...there's hundred more like them.

Well, one is a better MOVIE in general, but the other is the only "Action Movie" between the two.

Because Crouching Tiger is one of the best movies of all-time?

I haven't counted any votes but I'm definitely pulling for it.
