[candy]

hmmmm, took a while:fairy: but went for V in the end. never really rated the other 2 to be honest

[Melike]

V.

[fernandito]

V too :D

[Girlystevedave]

The Bride :)

[Still Servant]

Go ahead...make my day.

I made it 5's all around.

[pathoftheturtle]

Dirty Harry went from 1 vote behind the others to 1 vote ahead.
Boy, it's neck-and-neck. What a contest!

[fernandito]

This is gonna be close! :onfire:

[sarajean]

beatrix kiddo.

and fernando...you just lost all of your tarantino street cred.

i'm not even kidding.

:cool:

[Sam]

Dirty Harry has become FAR more iconic that either of the other two. So I had to go with him.

[fernandito]

b-b-b-b-bump!!

[pathoftheturtle]

beatrix kiddo.

and fernando...you just lost all of your tarantino street cred.

i'm not even kidding.

:cool:QT's got no love for Dirty Harry? :unsure:

[Heather19]

Oh no, this is close.
Well the Bride was my pick the first go round, so I'm sticking with her. :)

[fernandito]

This poll is closing later today!!

[sarajean]

beatrix kiddo.

and fernando...you just lost all of your tarantino street cred.

i'm not even kidding.

:cool:QT's got no love for Dirty Harry? :unsure:

didn't say that, though, did i?

besides, fernando voted for v. i will not accept that the poor film adaptation is a better movie character than ms. kiddo.

:nope:

[fernandito]

But we're voting for characters, not movies :P And come on! Hugo Weaving as V is a mother'f dude!

[cozener]

V

I think Callahan gets a lot of votes just by virtue of the fact that Eastwood is playing him and in this neighborhood, Clint is everybody's ultimate Roland. Its an unfair advantage if you ask me.

[Woofer]

While I love Clint in all the old S'ghetti Westerns, he's not my ultimate Roland by a long shot.

If he has an unfair advantage (and I'm not sure that any character has an unfair advantage in this completely unscientific polling based on opinions of people who (a) see this is happening on the site, (b) care about the contest, and (c) care enough to actually vote), then it's because he is iconic and has been so for far longer than either the bride or V.

If any characters here have an advantage, then I think it goes to characters in newer movies. Have you noticed that almost all of the nominees are from movies made during the last 35 years?

Nobody

GROUP D

GROUP H

GROUP I

GROUP K

GROUP L

GROUP M

GROUP N

GROUP O

GROUP P

So that's what? Only about 25 nominations total for movies made more than 35 years ago? And out of those, only 6 have advanced.

I think Harry's ahead because almost all of us have said "Go ahead. Make my day." at some point or another.

[Heather19]

I'm not surprised by that at all. There's not a whole lotta people on these boards that watch or are a fan of older films. I remember getting into this argument alot when the Best Movie of All Time Tournament was going on.

Oh I'm not surprised by it, I'm just offering an alternate explanation for Cozener.

I had to vote for Dirty Harry. Just look at this sampler from my button collection:

You can probably determine some of my other votes, too.

[fernandito]

Harry Callahan and V advance to the next round!

[Jean]

Woofer: most of those in blue on your list were nominated by bears...

That doesn't surprise me at all. In fact, I had highly suspected it. :huglove:

I wish at least one from The Lion in Winter (don't forget that it's this Saturday!) had made the list.

[Jean]

I so wish they had! And no, I won't forget, bears are looking for this! http://i91.photobucket.com/albums/k291/mishemplushem/Facilitation/bearheart.gifhttp://i91.photobucket.com/albums/k291/mishemplushem/Facilitation/bearheart.gifhttp://i91.photobucket.com/albums/k291/mishemplushem/Facilitation/bearheart.gif
