I knew that someone would use that argument, but isn't that what die hard Twilight fans are saying, too?

It'll take a lot more than words and guns,
A whole lot more than riches and muscle.
The hands of the many must join as one.
And together we'll cross the river.

OMG. How can The Mariner, from one of the worst movies ever made, have more votes than Rupert Pupkin?!?!?

Remember, Remember, The Fifth of November, The Gunpowder, Treason, and Plot.
Because he was a cooler character? It's not about the movie, it's about the character. And that Mariner was one badass dude.
I didn't vote for him, but he was still a badass dude.

Sam... Did you see the same movie as I did? He had gills. That makes him about 1/3 as interesting as Aquaman, with none of the coolnes... oh yeah, even Aquaman isn't cool.

Yeah he had gills, but he also had that kick ass boat, PLUS he used himself as fucking bait to score some lunch. He was a badass.

*BUMP*
Come on you last minute stragglers! Let's get those votes in! This poll closes later today!
No, not yet. There is nothing Ichi The Killer could possibly say or do that would make him cooler than The Dude.
I just also feel that The Dude's character is way more recognizable. There's a whole convention dedicated to The Big Lebowski. I doubt Ichi The Killer has that kind of following.

Looks like we're going to have our first tie-breaker thread ...
DAMMIT I missed the voting. Oh well. Yo Adrian! Rocky wins in my book!
I have no faith in human perfectability. I think that human exertion will have no appreciable effect upon humanity. Man is now only more active - not more happy - nor more wise, than he was 6000 years ago. - Edgar Allan Poe
Bunch together a group of people deliberately chosen for strong religious feelings, and you have a practical guarantee of dark morbidities expressed in crime, perversion, and insanity. - H.P. Lovecraft
Good point, although Die Hard movies are centered around a character. Twilight movies are centered around a series of books, thus making sequels somewhat predestined.I knew that someone would use that argument, but isn't that what die hard Twilight fans are saying, too?

Sorry I missed the vote.
Raymond; definitely. definitely
All that's left of what we were is what we have become.
The two are so different as to not even be comparable.No, not yet. There is nothing Ichi The Killer could possibly say or do that would make him cooler than The Dude.

The character we were voting on is Kakihara.

A whole lot more than riches and muscle.
