Movies and TV SceneItAll Tournament: Round 1, Heat 81

**Rain Man** · 03-09-2014, 10:36 PM

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.

It's a good scene. I'll grant you that. But the Tenacious D scene pretty much defines rock and roll, and on the world stage rock and roll is much bigger than Scotland.

Jack Blacks brand of irreverent comedy vs Mel Gibson de-throating someone with a small, sharpened set of deer antlers?

If I voted against Pulp Fiction, it's got to be something really important. For crying out loud, I voted against Pulp Fiction!

An interesting heat here, and I'm surprising myself with my votes.

#1 - Tenacious D. I hope people are watching the scenes and not just voting based on the movie, because this scene is great. That kid is uncannily similar to Jack Black, and the music and lyrics are awesome. Honestly, the worst part of the scene is Jack Black himself.

#2 - Braveheart. Good speech. I like a leader who can deliver a good speech.

#3 - Pulp Fiction. This is one of my two favorite movies, but I think this is about the 98th-best scene in the movie. It's necessary to the plot, but it's slow.

Rasputin · 03-09-2014, 10:45 PM

the D Tenacious D.

Even if you don't like Jack Black he was good in Tenacious D.

I'm in the Tenacious D camp on this one. We need to garner support.

You finally nailed one. Pulp Fiction way better movie and The TD movie sucked--but that scene was WAY better. It had Meat Loaf and Dio for gosh sakes!

Tenacious D all day in this one. That is a great song, plus Meat Loaf and Ronnie James Dio add a lot to that song.

**Rain Man** · 03-09-2014, 11:06 PM

Holy mother of god. That's Meat Loaf!

I now want to vote twice for that scene.

I'm pretty surprised you said Pulp Fiction is a favorite movie. There's some yelling and violence in there. Brain matter. Male rape. Things I would assume do not meet your standard of "making you happy."
