Culture Cup 2.0 round 5

by Mind the windows Tino. Thu 04 Jun 2015, 3:12 pm

First topic message reminder :

Round 4 of the Culture Cup 2.0 comes to an end and thank the heavens for that. As is standard for 2.0, there were some beauties and some utter sh*te picked in this round. The big winner was The Boss who (after he had put down his Niall Quinn autobiography and chosen his film) picked up maximum points for One Flew Over The Cuckoos Nest. It’s a quality film so no complaints from me. Trebs scooped up a healthy 8 points for Silence Of The Lambs which is also a tremendous film so again, no complaints here. Michaels got a lovely present of 8 points for his pick of Forrest Gump. That’s right folks, Forrest f*cking Gump. C&R also claimed 8 points with The Godfather. GrumpyG*lfer picked up 6 points for To Kill A Mockingbird which I also voted for. Cracking film. Weeman also picked up 6 points for Raging Bull. So Forrest f*cking Gump is better than Raging Bull and To Kill A Mockingbird. Forrest f*cking Gump.

Lots of posters managed to score a big fat headed zero, including Jeff for On The Waterfront and his arch rival ~~Nicola Sturgeon~~ superfly who, although he did get one vote, won’t be picking up any points as he failed to understand a very simple question and his pick of Lawrence Of Arabia fell outside the criteria. Jules will be disappointed to pick up some points for Annie Hall, but Galted will be devastated that no votes appeared for Amadeus. He saw Rupert Grint once. In a play. L*l. He also saw Laura Dern in a film. Double l*l out loud. Galted is a really funny guy. Dresses like a utter spazz but doesn’t let that hold him back in life. A solid 4 points for Hero keeps our resident champ at the top of the league but he can feel the hot breath of a few men down his neck now. He’ll enjoy that, no doubt. The only points Stella has managed to accrue have come from a book I picked for him. Perhaps the biggest surprise was Union Cane who picked up zero votes for his first choice of The Iron Lady.

Here is the updated league table:

1) Hero 30 pts
2) Paul 24 pts
3) Trebs 24 pts
4) C&R 20 pts
5) The Boss 19 pts
6) Harrier 16 pts
7) Ziggler 16 pts
8) Michaels 16 pts (will be deducted 2 points at the end of the tournament for being a pr*ck)
9) Fat head Adam 15 pts
10) GrumpyG*lfer 14 pts
11) Azzy 11 pts
12) Nakatomi 11 pts
13) weeman 11 pts
14) SerialDAVE 9 pts
15) Jeff 8 pts
16) Shah Abu-bakr 7 pts
17) Beadle 6 pts
18) Jules 5 pts
19) superfly 4 pts
20) Union Cane 3 pts
21) Dagless 3 pts
22) Stella 2 pts
23) Ray Mears big fat zero pts

Round 5 is back to music so please see the poll for THE BEST EVER DEBUT ALBUM.

Remember, IT’S OPEN FOR ALL OF 606v2 TO VOTE.

Thanks.

You're best off, Milky. There's nothing to gain from these lot, I only come around because Rowley's pops a pile every time I post. And to track Dave's movements...I'll wanna know if he ever gets further south than Lincolnshire.

That's why he wants to track my movements. He's like those sl*gs who want to tell everyone they'd f*cked a footballer (up to but not necessarily including Adam Johnson). Dolph wants to sell his story to the press about how he lured a serial killer into bending over a dead hooker's corpse just so he could try and feel his bum...which explains the 346 stitches in his face

I would have Dave but have to stick with Grace in the hope that he overtakes Definitely Maybe, Nola is my third favourite album on the list though.

That's as close as I'll get to a vote I suppose

Very very surprised I have a vote, the majority of debut metal albums suck so wasn't easy to come up with one.

If it is any consolation it is a damned sight nearer than I have got or anticipate getting in the six months this round still has to run.

it should. If it is good enough to be NME's no.1 debut album of all time it should be good enough a poorly administered forum quiz.

The album I chose is not just the greatest debut ever, but quite possibly the greatest album of all time. No surprise then that it's got 0 votes so far. I'd considered the Primitives or Pet Shop Boys, but judging how the voting's gone, am fairly sure that they would have received sod-all.

You are f*cking plebs.

Likewise Galted, I genuinely thought the acid country stylings of Gram Parsons and his cohorts would smash this round.

Guess it does not matter now, but did you pick Rodriguez? Good album and scant consolation, but I almost voted for it if so.

Was it not for the need to change my vote as part of the stop definitely maybe winning campaign I would change it to ensure you don't go pointless this round.

On the plus side though, if I ever do get my lazy arse in gear enough to actually apply for Pointless I am definitely going on with you, your ability to pick answers nobody else does is frighteningly efficient.

I may have to review your invite. Probably for the best, you'd be frightfully sweaty under the studio lights in the gore tex. Given I will be sweating anyway due to being really fat we should probably not go on together.

You'll look like a couple of guilty sex offenders...or in Galted's case, even MORE like a sex offender

Seeing as Slim Shady is banned yet still picking up votes, I could, given the fact this is my quiz, allocate the ‘banned’ votes to somewhere else.

I could give Galted a vote to stop him feeling low and give the rest to Grace to stop Definitely Maybe winning.

I’m very fond of the poster who picked Grace as well. I’m quite fond of the poster who picked Definitely Maybe but he still deserves to be punished.

Possibly. All very confusing in the armstrong coren and mitchell triangle.

to simplify it I would do both mitchell and armstrongs wife although having googled armstrong's wife, i'd have to do her from behind because she has a bit of a slaphead.

Had I given it more (or, in fact, any) thought I would have gone with A Spoonful Of Miracle by PRAGA KHAN. A truly wonderful piece of work.

Still, even with Force & Styles I have more votes than Rowley.

Warwick, I admire a man who goes for the bigger lady

As for the re-allocation of votes, I don't suppose there's ever a bad time to remind Tina that I've repeatedly called him my favourite LOOOOOONG before the brilliantly organized Culture Cup 2.0 ever came into being.
