Greatest Movie Scene of All Time - Nominations Thread

[webstar1000]

Love T2 but that's not my favorite scene from it, or even top 5.

Ok ok... I'm all ears.. cause I had A TOUGH time picking. Give me your top 5. I am in for another to nom!

I'll second (third) this as well. This had a great number of awesome moments. In no particular order:

1. Escape from Cyberdyne
2. Aqueduct chase
3. Galleria shootout
4. Final confrontation/melting
5. Nuclear nightmare

So, Second #2, I believe.

Great list. Some of my favs are not even on that. I will nominating another seen as well and you have my word I'll second any one of those you have listed FIRST!

Jesus Christ I can't believe I didn't nominate that one myself. One of cinema's all time greatest scenes.

Idk if I can second another movie right now but I'll be sure to do so if no one else doesn't.

So is this a second or not?


If so, then this is my third third.


If not, then consider it a second.

I wish you could consider all of the graveyard stuff one scene because I really like the "ecstasy of gold" part as well.

[Mattrick]

Seconds and thirds are the same, RUBE. Same counter, I mean.

[Mattrick]

Come on guys, we needs seconds for American Beauty and Paths of Glory!

[RUBE]

Seconds and thirds are the same, RUBE. Same counter, I mean.

I understand that. I mainly wasn't sure if his second counted and I finalized it or if it still needed another "second." (And I wanted to say "third third.")

[Still Servant]

Ok, its been several days since I checked out this thread. I see that there is now a spreadsheet to track things. Can I make a suggestion that there be a link to this spreadsheet on post #1?

Also, would it be possible to include the links in the spreadsheet? If time permits, maybe I will put in a link for all of my scenes. Having said that, I suggest people double check their own
nom/sec list. I found an error where a movie I had seconded was listed as a nomination, I have fixed it.

Yeah, Matt. I forgot to ask you to put the link at the top of the very first post. EDIT: Thank you, Heather.

I started hyperlinking each scene, but it makes it impossible to cut and paste a scene out of one category into another, which is what we need to make it easy to update the list. Let me know if you figure out a better way to do it though.

I agree, everybody should check the list for accuracy. There's a lot of info being thrown around here. Mistakes are bound to happen.

If you right click and 'insert link', you can copy/paste the cell and it takes the link with it.

I was remembering wrong. Cutting and pasting is not the problem, editing the content of the text is a little more tricky. You then have to right click on the box and click edit link to change the text.

[Still Servant]

Time for me to start nominating more. I figured more people would be posting scenes from my list, but there's a bunch you guys are overlooking. Unless we are all waiting for others to nominate them. I'll start with one of my favorites.

I can't believe the Opera scene from Godfather III past by with a glance... That scene gets me every time, and he doesn't even say a word!

As I mentioned before, I'm not helping a Godfather III scene into the tournament before a Godfather I or II scene. I'm waiting for somebody to nominate the baptism scene from Godfather I, but nobody has done so yet. Maybe they consider it a sequence, I personally consider it a scene. I'll nominate it soon if nobody else does.

Also, does anybody know why on the Google Sheet numbers 22 and 23 appear in the column for films officially in, but there's nothing listed next to it? I just want to make sure something didn't get accidently deleted so I left the spots open for now.

Never mind Mike, I see you meant in the official entrants column. I'll check the edit history. There were two entries there, The showdown in TG,TB,TU and Showdown at House of Blue Leaves, and you put them there. They were then moved by an anonymous user to the second column.

I moved them. The Showdown at the House of Blue Leaves had not been thirded by Webstar1000 as listed, but only seconded by myself. Although I very much want this scene to be included and very much hope that it will be thirded, its inclusion into the tournament needs to be legitimate.

I moved the scene from The Good, The Bad and The Ugly because Feev did not make a confirmed second, only a mention that he might do so if no one else would. RUBE's 'third' effectively became a 'second'.

Hi Bill,

They will only let you "second" or "third". They won't let you do both at the same time - you have to wait for other people to post 5 nominations/seconds/thirds in between unfortunately.

Do you seriously not see how people are formatting their posts for an official nomination? I'm honestly curious. Are you using a computer from 1974 that just outputs code or something?

I want to know if needfulthings was intending to nominate the film or if it was just a commentary on the confusing situation at hand, hence the meme from Cool Hand Luke that states, "What we have here is failure to communicate." Can you see my point?

You refuse to participate even remotely in a uniform fashion and you're constantly taking shots at the tournament.

[amd013]

Can I suggest we change the rules for nominations/seconds. I posted a nomination about 24hrs ago, and since then there has been 2 seconds, one of which has been called into question. So either this tournament is dead, or we need to do something to keep it moving. (after about 23 days we have 24 entry's that are in, and we are slowing way down on the process).

Why don't we just give everyone a daily limit, and who cares how many posts come between. I suggest at a minimum everyone be given 2 nominations and 2 seconds per day, and maybe as many as 4 noms and 5 seconds a day, and if they want to put them in the same post then so be it. (although maybe one Nomination per post would be good so they don't get lost in the noise).

When this tournament first started I was hoping to post 3 times a day, once in the morning, once in the afternoon, and once in the evening. Now I am too busy at work, so one post in the evening is all I really have time for, so it would be nice to do more then debate between seconding some one elses, or picking one of my own.

Just my $.02

[Still Servant]

I'm in agreement with that. Matt mentioned something a while back about tweaking some of the rules, but we never revisited it. I think the nomination process has been going on long enough that we have a handle on who is participating the most, as well as how many people are participating.

A limit of 3 per day seems like a sweet spot to me. To clarify, would the 3 per day limit be a combination of seconds and nominations or is it 3 nominations per day and 3 seconds?

[needfulthings]

I BELIEVE I WAS VERY CLEAR THAT I WOULD ONLY BE MAKING ONE NOMINNATION FOR BEST SCENE In what has now turned into a real life "WHO ON FIRST?"

I will only be making one nomination for BEST SCENE...It was directed by one of the worlds best known & respected directors & has to be one of the most complicated going from day to night with clouds floating across the skyline & the city lights turning on (and all before CGI) plus this scene presumably starts from the films opening title until the end title card in a single take.
So my NOMINATION FOR BEST SCENE is......
http://imageshack.com/a/img924/871/QavZZg.jpg
plus walls had to be moved during shooting so the camera could roam around the set. I assume in todays digital age he would have shoot it in a single take.

I would recommend a limit of 3 nominations AND 3 seconds per day.

Considering that after 3 weeks we have only 24 confirmed entries, I think it's about time we scrap the necessity to "third" movie scenes. If a scene has been seconded, then it's in. Doing this would instantly add an additional 37 movie scenes to the official entry tally, and closer to the 256 scenes this tournament requires.

I also think we should scrap or at the very least, increase the cap on nominations and seconds. A total cap of only 15 nominations per participant and 25 seconds, is not realistic considering where we are with official entries at the moment.

And for the record, this is not an attempt to "usurp" the thread.

[frik]

Honestly guys, if we just stick to the rules and nominate/second/third everything will move along just fine.
It's the deviating from that slowes things down and makes things at times a bit confusing (and frustrating!).

Second # 7... (I think)

[T-Dogz_AK47]

Honestly guys, if we just stick to the rules and nominate/second/third everything will move along just fine.
It's the deviating from that slowes things down and makes things at times a bit confusing (and frustrating!).

sk

Do you honestly believe that this process is currently moving along just fine the way it is? :wtf:

The comment that you posted last week, would suggest otherwise....


24 hours without a single nomination/second/third....
What's going on, guys??

sk

At present, you only have 3 nominations left to make. Pablo has only 1, amd013 has 6, Webstar has 5 and I have 4. Once we have reached our limit of 15 nominations, and at the rate movie scenes are currently being seconded/thirded, there just won't be the numbers needed to reach anywhere near the 256 official entries.

The few participants that remain will then find it extremely difficult to either nominate or second anything, due to not being able to wait for 5 other people to nominate/second. We cannot second our own nominations, and I'm not about to second anything just for the sake of allowing someone to nominate. Unless something is done now to rectify the situation, this tournament will fail.

[Iwritecode]

At this point I can't even tell how many noms/seconds have been made since my last one. I *think* there have been 5 but I'm not 100% sure.

NOMINATION # 7

Scene: Leadership Speech
Movie: Scent of a Woman
Year: 1992
Director: Martin Brest
Spoilers: None

A truly stunning performance that would earn Al Pacino the Academy Award for Best Actor, the speech in this scene talks as much to leadership as any class at an Ivy league university. Both Mesmerizing and spectacular in its delivery, This is undoubtedly one of the greatest - if not THE greatest oratory moments in the history of cinema. Hoo-ah!

The full scene was not available, so I had to upload the entire movie. The scene starts at 2:12:20 and finishes at 2:28:41.

I've been trying to think of some scenes from Holy grail and Life of Brian to nominate, but there are just so many that are just as funny as the others, that its really hard to choose. Was thinking of the opening scene with the debate of swallows carrying coconut husks. Also the "spank me" scene or "huge tracks of land". From life of Brian maybe "we found this spoon Sir!" or "always look on the bright side of life". Just to hard to choose. Will probably second this when I am allowed.

I've never noticed it before but that road sign they knock over and use as a ramp around 1:14 in the clip must have been filmed right near my hometown. It says "Business 20 State St. 3 miles". Well State St. runs right through town.

When I google filming locations for the film it simply says Chicago. But for some reason, a lot of people think the only city in this state is Chicago. :rolleyes2:

[Merlin1958]

Okay, so then the second for CHL is good?

Yeah, it's all good brother! :smile:

I don't want to be that guy, but I don't see an official Nomination for the Cool Hand Luke scene.

I see needfulthings making a post responding to the confusion with some of the bookkeeping on the online doc.


Exactly, how "official" would you like it? This is a really stupid exercise.!!!!!!

Do you seriously not see how people are formatting their posts for an official nomination? I'm honestly curious. Are you using a computer from 1974 that just outputs code or something?

I want to know if needfulthings was intending to nominate the film or if it was just a commentary on the confusing situation at hand, hence the meme from Cool Hand Luke that states, "What we have here is failure to communicate." Can you see my point?

You refuse to participate even remotely in a uniform fashion and you're constantly taking shots at the tournament.


A link to the scene along with the movie title should suffice for a nomination. All the other convoluted bullshit for an "official" nominations is unnecessary and excludes others not as astute at this stuff as you and a few others IMHO. Really, what more do you need? Keep it simple and after all the chaos regarding the rules, the threads, whose running it and who isn't that should be a blessing IMHO. BTW, are you now one of TPTB in this contest? Sadly, I can't keep up so, call me what you will. I thought this was to be a fun little side poll thing. Not the precursor to the Nuremburg trials in this genre.

As long as I am well reasoned, articulate, somewhat polite and obviously right. No drone strike, RF strike or anything alse can touch me.

It's the first and original 'edit' of Star Wars. You obviously know very little about this.

"End of discussion"? You really need to get over yourself, Mattrick. :rolleyes:

T-Dogz, it's not a part of an actual film, therefore it is not a nomination. End of discussion version 2.0.

An edit of a scene made for parody on the internet does not qualify. It's as simple as that. It's not in the rules because it should go without saying.

Not astute at what? Making font larger? Having clear formatting makes it easy for people to go through the posts and see what has been nominated and what is just a regular post with people discussing things. It's also better to put the video inside a spoiler tag so as to not clutter things up. I don't see what is so hard about making your nominations a little bigger than regular text and maybe changing the color or something.

I also don't know what TPTB means. I'm not as astute with acronyms as you and a few others are.

Lastly, let's not do this, guys. If we allow that scene from Star Wars to be in the tournament, then it opens up the tournament to everything under the sun. T-Dogz, I know you and Matt don't see eye-to-eye, but we have to draw the line somewhere. I know it's not technically in the rules, but I find it hard to believe you truly think that scene should be in the tournament.

As for the Google Sheet, that's for everybody to manage and edit. I didn't create it because Matt wasn't doing his job, it's just a way for us to carry some of the load, as well as making sure things are as correct as possible.

I agee on this, this does not meet the definition of a scene, nor is it from a movie. In fact the merged clips are from more then just the 1st move, its got clips from Empire and Jedi as well. It does open the door to too much bullshit, heck, why not nominate a collection of scenes from bonus features on DVD's or gag reels.

At any rate, unless the 5 post rule is repealed, I am out. This tournament will never reach its conclusion because people will lose interest, if they haven't already, unless serious changes are made. Probably also need to consider scaling down to 64 finalists. In last weeks time, only 12 people have attempted to nominate/second, many either once or not succeeding at all. Some are very close or at their limit.

Maybe I'll wait 6 months to see if the actual voting has started.

[Mattrick]

I was going to change it to 3 posts tonight, but then everything got derailed everything for a few pages. I figured it was confusing enough as it was. Kind of want things to get back on track first.

I'm not a fan posts per day, mostly because we're all in different time zones. There's 8 hour+ difference between members. That would be a lot more confusing imo. I'll decrease it to 3 posts tomorrow (Saturday) night.I was going to do that around the 21 day mark.

[Still Servant]

I think we have to keep the number at 200 and whatever. Making it 64 will mean a lot of scenes that deserve to get in won't make it. There are still a ton of iconic scenes that need to be in this tournament that haven't even been nominated yet.

Personally, I'd make it 3 nominations and 3 seconds per day per person.

[T-Dogz_AK47]

A link to the scene along with the movie title should suffice for a nomination. All the other convoluted bullshit for an "official" nominations is unnecessary and excludes others not as astute at this stuff as you and a few others IMHO. Really, what more do you need? Keep it simple and after all the chaos regarding the rules, the threads, whose running it and who isn't that should be a blessing IMHO. BTW, are you now one of TPTB in this contest? Sadly, I can't keep up so, call me what you will. I thought this was to be a fun little side poll thing. Not the precursor to the Nuremburg trials in this genre.



Not astute at what? Making font larger? Having clear formatting makes it easy for people to go through the posts and see what has been nominated and what is just a regular post with people discussing things. It's also better to put the video inside a spoiler tag so as to not clutter things up. I don't see what is so hard about making your nominations a little bigger than regular text and maybe changing the color or something.

For those who have not followed this process from the beginning, or don't have the patience to read through the omnibus of rules on the first page; making an "official" nomination does seem confusing, and a rule that is not being followed evenly amongst participants.

Why is it a necessity for someone to have to post the name of the director and year of release for a nomination to be considered "official"? Such information seems superfluous to me.

I have noticed over the last few weeks, the rule concerning what is deemed an "official" nomination, arbitrarily varies depending on who is posting. Whilst some movie scenes are being successfully nominated without following the "correct" procedure, other members such as Merlin1958, are having their choices scrutinized and face stricter enforcement of the rules. :orely:

Some examples....

Sai Sheb's nomination from The Godfather III:
Posted without naming either the movie's director, the year of release or whether the scene contains a spoiler.
Result? Nomination accepted.



#5 NOMINATION (I think)
Film Godfather III
Scene Opera House ending...
. https://youtu.be/QyaDlIirJnw

Mattrick's nomination from Mulholland Drive:
Posted without the year of release or whether the scene contains a spoiler.
Result? Nomination accepted.


Nomination #3

Winkie's Diner - Mulholland Dr.
Directed by: David Lynch


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UozhOo0Dt4o

Such a creepy scene.


Needfulthings's nomination from Rope.
Posted without naming either the movie, it's director, the year of release or a link to the video (only an image contained within a spoiler tag).
Result? Nomination accepted and subsequently "seconded" and "thirded" into an official entry.


I will only be making one nomination for BEST SCENE...It was directed by one of the worlds best known & respected directors & has to be one of the most complicated going from day to night with clouds floating across the skyline & the city lights turning on (and all before CGI) plus this scene presumably starts from the films opening title until the end title card in a single take.
So my NOMINATION FOR BEST SCENE is......
http://imageshack.com/a/img924/871/QavZZg.jpg
plus walls had to be moved during shooting so the camera could roam around the set. I assume in todays digital age he would have shoot it in a single take.

Now I'm not suggesting that any of the above nominations should be redacted, far from it (I seconded Rope), I just think that over zealous scrutiny on how we make our nominations/seconds should cease immediately.

Merlin1958 attempted several times to nominate the "Merovingian" scene from The Matrix Reloaded , but this was continuously refused due to overzealous enforcement of petty rules. Although it was obvious to all what the nomination was, it amused some people here to refuse it for several weeks for "not following protocol". This kind of behaviour has to stop NOW if this tournament is going to attract any new participants.

Some interesting soundbites....

This shit is "simple"!!!!! Merlin is an ass!!! How "simple" can it be? My nomination was within protocol as you said. Why is it not included? What else are we missing?



Well, you agreed that I made a valid nomination. What's up with that? I think I also made a "valid" second. Can I get anything recorded?



Not for nothing, and I am a partial bystander, you start this thing, screw it up, restart it and then disappear for days on end. Then, you presumably get others to "pinch hit" for you and then magically show up and declare things "unacceptable"? What the Hell?



Gonna try this again... but have to say too many rules... and not making it as fun as it should be.



Sorry but i'll admit to not reading the novel at the beginning so don't know the rules, but why aren't the ones I nominated on the list above?

^^^^^^ This really cannot continue. :nope:


I also don't know what TPTB means. I'm not as astute with acronyms as you and a few others are.

TPTB = The Powers That Be.




Lastly, let's not do this, guys. If we allow that scene from Star Wars to be in the tournament, then it opens up the tournament to everything under the sun. T-Dogz, I know you and Matt don't see eye-to-eye, but we have to draw the line somewhere. I know it's not technically in the rules, but I find it hard to believe you truly think that scene should be in the tournament.


I agee on this, this does not meet the definition of a scene, nor is it from a movie. In fact the merged clips are from more then just the 1st move, its got clips from Empire and Jedi as well. It does open the door to too much bullshit, heck, why not nominate a collection of scenes from bonus features on DVD's or gag reels.


What my nomination does, Gentlemen, is highlight the redundancy of having to "third" movie scenes. The requirement for having to not only "second" but also "third" movie scenes for them to become official entries, was so that fair and open scrutiny could be applied to each nomination democratically. This would ensure that only movie scenes that had approval from at least two other participants would be included in the tournament.

With that in mind, whether my nomination opens the door to everything under the sun, or a load of bullshit gag reels, is completely irrelevant. The seconding/thirding process was specifically designed so that other participants would have to vote for what nominations they believed were 'worthy enough' to become official entries.

By refusing to acknowledge or even accept the votes cast by other members purely on the basis that you don't agree with their votes, highlights that the seconding/thirding process is pretty much a waste of time. It shouldn't matter whether you agree with it or not, if a nomination has been seconded/thirded by two other people, their votes should be honoured.

It should be noted, that I made my nomination purely to emphasise this point and to provide evidence on the absurdity of the seconding/thirding process. It also proved categorically, that once a movie scene has been "seconded", further scrutiny by requiring a "third" is of no relevance. I also knew that by posting a nomination that fell within the grey area of the rules, Mattrick would show (yet again) his true colours, and refuse to acknowledge the democratic process that he himself had installed. :rolleyes:

I therefore and once again, petition for the removal of having to "third" movie scenes. It serves no purpose other than to slow things down, especially when seconds are capped to 20 per person and each film requires two votes to move forward.


As for the Google Sheet, that's for everybody to manage and edit. I didn't create it because Matt wasn't doing his job, it's just a way for us to carry some of the load, as well as making sure things are as correct as possible.

Please be honest with yourself here. You created the Google sheet so that we wouldn't have to rely on Mattrick. The Music Tournament was ten times the size of this, yet I do not recall Pablo requiring other people to carry some of the load...



Please feel free to update it regularly. In fact, the idea is for us to update it so we don't have to just depend on Matt. I'm hoping to hyperlink each scene in the document eventually.

Mattrick's frequent, long term absences and lackadaisical approach to managing this tournament, is a fucking joke! As a collective group, we have been self governing this tournament since you created the Google sheet. Mattrick has continuously refused to take any responsibility, and only makes occasional appearances to issue authoritarian and arbitrary rulings.

I hereby state a 'vote of no confidence' in Mattrick's ability to lead this thing, and propose that we continue to self manage and only impose rules that are agreed democratically and by group approval. We do not need someone with a Napoleon complex dictating the order of things. thumbsdownsmall

Guys, please let's stop all this petty arguing. Let's just post nominations and seconds/thirds. Enough with picking on the rules and each other. The thread keeps getting derailed too easily. If you don't like it than don't post. But it's getting too chaotic for people to follow and we don't need members not participating because of that.

Also it's not a bad idea to add in the year/director if you can because there's multiple versions of some movies out there. It'll just be easier for record keeping later on, but if you don't know it that's fine.

I'm not so worried about people listing the director and the date. I'm mainly concerned with people making it CLEAR that it's an actual nomination, as well as linking the clip. This newest exchange was kicked off literally because needfulthings posted a scene from Cool Hand Luke. He clearly wasn't nominating it, yet Merlin thought he was. It's that very instance we can avoid if people stick to some version of making it clear they are making an official nomination.

As for people coming into the thread, I don't think it's a lot to ask to at least skim over the rules. Also, when you don't know how to do something, you look and see what others are doing before jumping in. That's just basic stuff.

T-Dogz, I'm not sure what your issue is with Matt. It seems to run a lot deeper than just the way he's been running this tournament. Honestly, I really don't care what your beef with him is. I just think there has to be more going on in your life more worthy of your time and concern. This is a movie tournament on a website dedicated to a bunch of books we like to read. It's really not that big of a deal. At the end of the day, this is a place where we come to shoot the shit and unwind. I don't know about everybody else, but I get enough stress and bullshit from the daily grind of life. This place should be a safe place completely devoid of that. Could things be done differently? Yes, and Matt has stated he's willing to change the format.

[Mattrick]

T-Dogz issue with me stems all the way back to when I accidentally voted on Blade Runner, having not seen it, back in the Sci-Fi tournament, because the check box for Blade Runner was right above the vote now button, and on my old shitty phone, I clicked both at once. I of course corrected the mistake immediately, yet he accused me of manipulating results so movies I've never seen advance (for some reason!). He then went onto to criticise every choice I made, lambasting me for having not seen certain classic films over other classic films, basically saying I had no right to vote in the tournament because I had seen certain films. And ever since then he's carried on this petty anger that stems from three years ago over a movie tournament on an internet message board :emot-roflolmao: It's clear he has never moved on in the past three years and holds the pettiest of grudges over something so silly. It's quite sad, really. Oh well, I'm sure him and Merlin giggling to each other about me like puerile high school girls makes them feel better about their mundane lives where internet forum movie tournaments are one of the most important things going for them.

I'm going to call my family right now. "Yes, I know there was a death in the family and I should be around, but T-Dogz i supset I haven't been monitoring the greatest movie scene of all time tournament and they're acting really childish and disrupting the whole thing. Who is he? It doesn't matter who he is, but obviously internet movie tournaments are more important than family. I'll call you back. I have to call my cousin Johnathon." "Hi Johnathon, yes I know you just discovered your long-time girlfriend was cheating on you and she took your one-year-old away and you haven't seen him in several weeks and you need someone to talk to about it and spend time with you so you're not alone and miserable, but then I'll be neglecting this internet forum movie tournament and I'll upset T-Dogz, and, obviously, that trumps family members who need support. Sorry. I've got to call my best friend and give him similar news." "Hey buddy, I know you are going through a horrible situation with your children that's created a rift in your family and you need support because you're in maybe the worst place in your life, but I can't because I've got to deal with this internet forum movie tournament because T-Dogz is very, very upset I haven't been around for the past week dealing with all this horrible stuff going on with the people I care about who need me around, but priorities are priorities."

Okay, I've told all my loved ones I can't help them through difficult times so I can be here for the tournament to make T-Dogz happy.

As mentioned in my previous post, Bill has made several attempts to make both clear and obvious nominations, yet they continue to be refused purely out of pettiness and as a way to freeze him out of taking part.

In this instance, I think it understandable that there was some confusion considering the erratic nature of what is and what isn't accepted as a nomination.

Yes, and Matt has stated he's willing to change the format.

I don't have an issue with Mattrick outside of this particular tournament, but his behaviour whilst "running" things here have forced me to challenge him on several occasions. If I see behaviour anywhere on these boards that I find objectionable, or somebody posts something that I deem to be disrespectful to another party - I WILL challenge that person, whomever they are. Likewise, if someone has an issue with me, I am more than willing to discuss it and take note of any criticism that person has. Nobody is perfect on these boards, but showing a willingness and ability to take responsibility for any shortcomings, is what separates many members here.

Now Mattrick believes that my issue with him stems from the Sci-Fi tournament 3 years ago. I vaguely recall having to challenge him over his behaviour, but to be honest, I had completely forgotten about it until he mentioned it. It should be noted, that if I had held a grudge over the past 3 years - I surely would have targeted Mattrick during the intervening period, which I have not. On a flip side, if Mattrick can so easily recall the time I challenged him 3 years ago, then I would suggest that it is actually Mattrick himself that is holding the grudge. :orely:

Now I'm not going to make any further comment regarding this or respond to the rest of Mattrick's childish tirade that he posted above. Not only is his post beneath contempt and unworthy of a response, but you quite rightfully pointed out that I have better things to do with my time.

But I will say this. You can all bury your heads in the sand and tell yourselves that everything is okay as it stands, that I am just trying to "derail the thread" or some other shit - but the problems that I (and others) have raised are very REAL and not imagined. Failure to take swift and very decisive action to rectify things, will ultimately lead to the death of this tournament before it even begins.

So go ahead and knock yourselves out! This thread has such a bright future. :rolleyes:

Bill, the clip is only 18 seconds long. Use this video instead as it contains the full scene including the "Goody little two shoes" bit, and it's also presented in HD. :clap:

Guess I'll write it again

I'm going to increase the nominations cap in a few days. Let's try and get the seconds flowing in first. Nominating a bunch more won't get us there any faster.

Since no one has reached the second cap (don't think anyone has even reached 15) the process has demonstrated they don't need a cap. There is no cap on seconds. We must still wait three posts to make a second, but we can now pair a second with a nomination in a single post. No need to number your second (number your nomination though), but please still highlight it as a second with bold or bigger font. Thank you.

There are around a hundred nominated scenes. Once that starts to whittle down a bit I'll increase the nominations cap.

I think it's best to increase the nomination cap now tbh. There are over a hundred nominated scenes, but participants might not want to second those and may want more choice.

See below as an example:





The list of individual seconds/nominations is up to date. Some of you folks need to start doing more seconding. The ratio of nominations to seconds is way out of balance for some.

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1VHIYwyLs0_X4a2S4cPC0YodI7dPY-qWTP-xQov0WH24/edit#gid=0

Honestly, I was ready to second/third a scene, but found no scene I liked enough.


Really? There are over 60 scenes that have been nominated without being seconded. Not one of them catches your fancy?

:o

There are quite a few scenes that come close, but not close enough. Liking a scene isn't good enough.

That's what I'm saying. Maybe something happened when Heather tried updating it too.

There were four of us on the document at the same time. Maybe that has something to do with it. I noticed it was acting weird so I logged off thinking people were updating it and that's why it looked funky.

I'm moving the "You built a time-machine out of a Delorean?" scene from Back to the Future, back over to the "Seconded" column. Webstar has incorrectly been recorded as "Thirding" this scene in the new changes, but it has only been "Seconded" by Ladysai so far.... Post #602

I also notice that the "Winkie's Diner" scene from Mullholland Drive has been moved over to the official entries column. I need to double check whether frik posted a "Second" for this, as I only saw the "Second" that Heather19 made at Post #600

I just checked the entire thread. Mattrick nominated the "Winkie's Diner" scene at Post #36. It did not receive a "Second' until Heather19 entered one at Post #600.

I'm therefore moving it back over to the "Seconded" column.

Thanks for sorting this out, T-Dogz.
