    AH HA! The fist vote is mine!

    Remember kids a vote for Hamlet 2 is a vote for "Rock Me Sexy Jesus":!:


    Maybe I should put a post together tonight with links to the trailers. It may help people decide.

    Thanks. Your list was not in the correct order (Clone Wars) but as long as the link was correct for Clone Wars,
    we should be good.

    I re-checked the freshness ratings for all the films.

    Clone Wars went down from 27 to 24%.
    Henry Poole Is Here went down from 43 to 32%.

    Post 1 has been updated.

    All others are the same.

    I am largely surprised by Death Race leading this vote. Nobody else thinks it looks like the definition of a crappy movie in every possible way? The trailer made me think of Ghost Rider for whatever reason. That can't be a good thought.

    one thing we'll have to keep in mind is this:
    the better or bigger the movie we attend, the more likely people will be pissed at our antics during the flick. my vote was for hamlet 2, though, that movie looks funny!

    Tropic Thunder is down to 82% after 131 reviews. No big deal.
    Henry Poole is down to 29% after 35 reviews. Going down anyone?
    Clone Wars is down another 1 percent to 23% after 70 reviews.

    How is that after George Lucas places an "embargo" on reviews of the Clone Wars there aren't more votes for it? I mean it's both geeky and horrible.

    Your verbing of nouns bothers me not, but the context is incongruous. RHPS is a subcultural event, the excoriation and roasting of random and variable terrible movies is and always will be 'MST3K-ing'.

    after seeing the reviews of what Lucas did to that movie...I have absolutely no interest whatsoever in seeing it. Even as a joke. An ironic ticket sale doesn't translate very well...they just see it as a sale. I'll just watch Genndy's Clone Wars again instead.

    If you've heard the voice acting in Clone Wars, you'll know that you never, ever, ever, want to experience it, ever. Also, Tropic Thunder is comedy gold, Pineapple Express is comedy gold. I would have voted for Hamlet 2, but, alas its 10:34PM PST. So, yay Death Race?

    Me and asound 3-7 friends will be there. We where stoked to see Jason Stathom in cheesy goodness ever since we first heard about this movie.

    I would request not to have the showing at 7 since there are so many other pre-pax events going on. We where going to try and make the flying labs dinner at 7 and I think that the pre-pax dinner is also at 7 which other people may be trying to make.
