Sorry everyone, tried to get new brackets up the other night but I couldn't access this movie forum for some reason and didn't even look at my computer yesterday. I'll be on later tonight with the tie breakers and new brackets will be up tomorrow.
....I forgot the face of my father lol

Tie breakers are up. If a mod could unstickey those threads (non-tiebreaker) already up I'll post the new ones tonight at some point.

Are you gonna post the bracket that advanced?
So, is that all of the current brackets you want unstickied? I will probably just move them to the clearing if we're done with them.
Yeah, just leave the tie breakers until I'm done with them. I'll post the new brackets when there is some space freed.

Hello? Mattrick? Are you out there?
Cant wait for the next round!
matt,
how many movies are left in the poll? I know we started with 128 but have we completed the first round?
I don't think so, I know there's still movies that were nominated that haven't made it into a poll yet.
Only the gentle are ever really strong.
ok, cool... I derive a perverse pleasure from the whole poll thing... and it is interesting to see the other opinions on the movie selections.
Because he has already released 12 groups with eight movies each that means that there are four groups left to be revealed in the first round.
The top finisher in each bracket so far (of course, there are three more movies from each):
A1: Silence of the Lambs
A2: Aliens (One of my nominations)
C1: Pulp Fiction
C2: Raiders of the Lost Ark
B3: Kill Bill, Wizard of Oz, Braveheart (all three tied for first)
B4: Vertigo
D3: Fight Club
D4: Forrest Gump
A3*: Almost Famous
A4*: The Lord of the Ring: Fellowship of the Ring (another of mine)
C3*: Goodfellas
C4*: Shawshank Redemption
*These are not officially closed yet but are close to it.
That leaves B1, B2, D1 and D2 to be voted on.
I wonder if Mattrick is going to keep the letters together or the numbers. (For example, is it going to be Silence of the Lambs versus Aliens or is it going to be Silence of the Lambs versus Pulp Fiction?)
Also, I hate to brag but 8 of my 9 nominations that have appeared so far have advanced or are really close in a group that is still open for voting (Stand By Me). Now I just need Groundhog Day to make it 9 of 10. (The loser was Million Dollar Baby.)
I was thinking about Seeding them but the ties make that more difficult to do.
I've been contemplating how to do the next round as this round is sort of a round robin. I've still got a week to think about it.
I Think current polls are closed so I should be putting up the final four brackets for this round and then we're down to 64 movies.

Sorry everyone. I'm experiencing a bit of a healthy issue right now. Benign Paroxymal Positional Vertigo...it's caused by a build up of calcium stones in the inner ear. Essentially, when they move it sends false signals to the brain we causes vertigo and short bursts. Well, I've felt pretty out of it and almost constantly nauseaus for days.
Hopefully I can have this cleared up in a few days. If anyone would like to put it all together for me, I'll PM the brackets to them...I'm too out of it to want to do it all right now.

That Sux ! hope you are feeling better soon. vertigo is a bitch... Never had it but know a few people who have and I dont want any part of it...
Vertigo sucks, but it's a great movie.
Hope you feel better Mattrick
I also hope you feel better.
I am tempted to take the reigns of the tournament but I am swamped at work right now and I don't think I will have the time or energy.
Alright, I'll be taking over the tournament for now until Mattrick is 100%.
I'll be posting the remaining brackets soon.
The Usual Suspects and Reservoir Dogs if they're not already on. I didn't see em when I looked.
Oops I totally missed that the tournament has started already.My bad.
HHMMMM, seems Mattrick has forgot about us again. I hope he isn't ill again.
The last set of polls have been closed a few days.
Based on the way the first four polls of the second round have gone I already know what most of the pairings will be for the seocnd round (except where there were ties) so I already know who I am picking in most cases. That makes me even more antsy to see what everyone else will pick, say for example when Unforgiven meets Die Hard or when The Empire Strikes Back meets The Green Mile.
I'm sorry everyone, a situation arose with my girlfriend and long story short, she just moved in with my so I've been a little caught up all weekend, this is the first time I've even looked at my computer. I'll be on at sometime tomorrow and should get on often enough the rest of the time. It's 4 am and I'm tired now.

A question, what happened to Vertigo? I remember it won a bracket but then I can't find it anymore.
