Looks like we found our Stephen King horse for this tournament

We need a way to vote against a movie, like a down vote. I would trade in all my votes in this poll if I could use them to vote against This Is The End. Awful movie.

Well, when you vote and don't select a movie, you're effectively voting against it.

I was thinking the same thing when I saw Bridesmaids. I normally either like or dislike movies but that one I actively detest. I'm guessing because I meet so many people that think it's a great movie.

Something about Melissa McCarthy that just doesn't work for me. I don't think I've liked any of her movies.

I think I just had high expectations for that movie. It was hyped up before I watched it and when I did I kept waiting for it to get better and it just never did.

I did like the the rest of the cast. I think it's my grudge against MM that makes me hate it.

[fernandito]

I dislike Melissa McCarthy for the same reason I dislike Kevin Hart, they play the same archetype in every movie but with different costumes.

[Still Servant]

Bridesmaids and This is the End are both hilarious. The masterbation scene alone in This is the End is worth a watch.

[Still Servant]

ONE VOTE FOR THE DROP!!! Some people here seriously need to branch out. This isn't a black and white, french experimental film here. It's about gangsters and has fucking Tom Hardy in it! And a dog. You guys love dogs, right?

"It" also shouldn't be in the lead with the movies it's up against.

Obviously, but we have to consider where we are.

True, but we have four Best Picture nominees here (Black Panther, Little Women, The Imitation Game, The Martian). Sorry, Random.org strikes again.

I liked Bridesmaids but it is really different from This Is The End. That belongs in the pile of Seth Rogen/James Franco/Danny McBride movies that are just utter garbage (ie, Your Highness.) The funny thing is that I actually like some Seth Rogen movies (ie, Knocked Up, Superbad) but when he and his team of man-children are at their most pure stoner, idiot form I just can't stand to watch it.

[mae]

The premise of TITE is really cool and funny, having all these famous actors play themselves in an absurd fictional setting. Pretty hilarious stuff. It's got 83% on RT, too.

IT Is hands down my favourite of this whole lot.. King fan or not.

[MikeDuke]

We need more votes for The Drop. Tom Hardy was brilliant. I am sure you can on demand it or rent it. But for it to go out in the first round is a shame.

Where does Pineapple Express fall for you?

Apparently only people named Mike like The Drop. Which means it should have a shitload of votes.

[St. Troy]

Yep. Bridesmaids in particular is notably awesome.

Three votes for The Drop is embarrassing. This film is so good.

I hope that Bridesmaids edges out This is the End!

I don't get it. I take solace in the fact that maybe a lot of people just haven't seen the film and that maybe now it's on people's radar.

It's not great but there are some entertaining parts. I seem to remember really liking some of the music too but it has been awhile since I saw it.

Pineapple Express is one of the very few movies that I turned off after only half an hour. Terrible and sophomoric beyond belief. Sorry.

[Still Servant]

Yeah, it's not for everyone. I kind of liked the idea of turning a stoner comedy into an action movie.
