The Culture Cup round 2.

First topic message reminder :

OK, after the roaring success of round one, here is the roundup.

Round 1 threw up a few surprises, not least seanmichaels claiming first place and Galted close behind in second.  Not the section of the league that these two usually frequent.  It was clearly incorrect because To Kill a Mockingbird is obviously superior to Lord of the Rings but there is nowt as queer as folk and the good people of 606v2 have spoken.  They have also spoken enough to garner Niall Quinn's autobiography some votes and some points, despite the p*ss taking throughout.

Adam has made his usual solid start, taking third place which is one below where he will inevitably end up.  Perhaps the biggest surprise is that Union finished with a vote and some points.  Remarkable.  

Table after round 1;

seanmichaels (Lord of the Rings): 12
Galted (To Kill a Mockingbird): 10
Adam (Charlie and the Chocolate Factory): 8
Hero (Fantastic Mr Fox): 7
Dolphin Ziggler (Hitchikers Guide to the galaxy): 6
onlytreblewinners (Strange case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde): 5
Azzy (Moby Dick): 5
compelling & rich (Storm of Swords): 4
The Boss (Niall Quinn's autobiography): 4
Jbeadlesbigrighthand (The Old Man and the Sea): 4
The Womble (A Kestral For A Knave): 3
Superflyweight (Trainspotting): 3
Julius (The Big Sleep): 2
Rowley (The Godfather): 2
Union (The Dogs of War): 2
TopHat (Rage): 2
ChequeredJersey (The Kindly Ones): 0
bhb (The Ragged Trousered Philantropists): 0

Question 3:  What is the best film released since the turn of the century? Culture isn't limited to old sh*t so what is the best film released since the 1st January 2000.  This should eliminate some people choosing old films that they haven't actually seen but come near the top of best film lists.  It can be re-releases if you want, animated films, porn, whatever you think deserves a mention.  Fo' shizzle.

Please PM me your answers and pick a couple of choices.  As usual, if you don't get your first pick I will let you know.

Please see the poll for round 2.  Please vote for your top 2 and remember, It is open for the whole forum to vote.

Thanks.

they'll be in in two...

Don't pick him up on the English Tina, she is of greek origin. Top hat has almost said something positive about an immigrant. We have to class this as progress.

That's what Tulisa said

Think people have got me confused re immigrants, tbh.  Am pro if anything.  Think you're confusing my with LJ/C_S/Duty.

I just don't like the feckless unemployed, the trade unionised and the general unwashed.

They? Dappy and Fazer?

Not your minge.....

In my day the geeks used to quote Monty Python all the time.

My hovercraft is full of eels.

Nobody else has admitted to voting for my favourite song of all time - Ain't No Mountain High Enough, despite it having 5 votes.........??

Oh! It's blessed are the meek! I'm glad they're getting something, they had a hell of a time...

We used to dream of quoting Monty Python, would've been a luxury to us.

- Your arm's off!

- No it isn't.

It is track 2 on my Happy Hardcore set if that helps jog your memory.

Therefore it must suck. The mid nineties were awful

Let me rephrase that.
In my day, the geeks thought it was clever to quote Monty Python all the time.

Yeah, but what has Rome ever done for us?

I voted for Marv. Sunday afternoon music.

Do you suppose I could buy back my introduction to (all of) you?

I have got everyone's nominations in now but I don't really know when to put round 3 up. Round 2 only went up yesterday, doesn't seem long enough to leave it open for the public vote.

Might wait till Friday for round 3? What do people think?

Do it now!

Now!

Now!

Now!

You could keep both going and close round 2 for voting & tally the scores on Friday, simultaneous rounds have never been attempted in the v2 cups before.

We've only had 67 votes, I think we should wait a few days first. The Music Cup received over 100 votes for every round I believe? Those 33+ votes could be crucial

Or you could just scrap this round and have round 3 as round 2.

Missed that one, sorry.  Out of your posts from 3000 to 3014, that is almost certainly the best.

Do you mean have them both global and close the voting for rd 2 on Friday?

close the voting now while im in the joint lead!!

A new round every week has worked well so far, although with the number of rounds planned we could still be going at Christmas.

We'll be vying with Strictly and X-Factor.

Yes I do. There may, of course, be some glaring impossibility I'm unable to comprehend.

Monday and Thursdays would work I believe - thats how the totally organised movie cup was run  

Get on with it or i'll get Galted to send wingrove over. Some of us have no work to do.

Aah, the totally organised movie cup, that does bring back memories, getting all snot-eyed and nostalgic now.

Good thinking sean, Wingrove got a piece of rope for his birthday and he's been dying to use it.

Adam D wrote:Monday and Thursdays would work I believe - thats how the totally organised movie cup was run  

Yes, but I didn't realise how much work was involved when I said I would do it.

I will put rd 3 up on Friday but leave rd 2 open for votes if you can put them both as global? That should appease the masses.

I genuinely have no idea who Ravishing Rick Rude is and I am very reluctant to google it.

Sexiest wrestler ever apparently. The missus was just moaning about something on email and said i'm in for a rude awakening. The rude awakening was his special move.

I couldn't resist and googled him. Could be my new hero, mullet and moustache.

I just did the same. He looks like Brian Kilcline.

Rick Rude was the reason I got into wrestling as a kid. My mum heard of him and started watching it, so I did too
