SceneItAll Tournament: Round 1, Heat 102
 

The rules:

In Round 1, I'm going to put up three randomly selected scenes from the nomination thread.

You'll vote for your ONE favorite scene among the three. The key here is FAVORITE. We're not talking about the 'best' or 'most powerful' or 'most meaningful'. We're talking about the scene that you most enjoy watching, however you define that.

The winners will move on. I'll also take the 10 highest-scoring second-place scenes and they'll advance as wild cards.

Some of our nominations did not include clips. This will be noted. If you find a clip, please post it and let me know so I can update it if it moves on.

My votes in another weak heat:

#1 - The Count of Monte Cristo. I'm not hugely into dark lighting and improbable escapes, but this one was okay. In most heats it wouldn't win, but in this heat I would probably vote for a blank screen as #1 over the other two scenes.

#2 - The Blair Witch Project. By the time that scene ended, I was absolutely terrified that I would someday have to watch a whole movie like that.

#3 - Anchorman. So ... someone wrote this scene, and they acted it out, and they thought it was good enough to keep in the movie? Really? Blech.

None of the above

When are you going to post 103?

Blair Witch was great, it started an entirely new genre... love this ending.

Tomorrow. I post one heat per day, so that we may watch, ponder, savor, discuss, and then vote.

Anyone voting for Blair Witch should stab themselves in the face.

A horrible genre

This.

And if Cosmo hates it, it must be Great!;)

How anyone can watch Anchorman is beyond me.

None of the above.

I'd heard so many good things about it, and then I was in a hotel when it came on, so I was like "Score!". I lasted about 20 minutes. Wow, that movie is terrible.

Only if I can stab you first ya stiff.

Anchorman for me. That's one of my favorite scenes from the movie.

The Blair Witch scene was pretty intense when I watched it back in the day but I don't particularly like it..

Does anyone know if any scenes from The Wolf of Wall Street were nominated?

I think it came out after the nomination process which is a shame. That flick could probably contribute three or four deep-runners.
