This poll is closing later today!
Come on, women!
Fight for a strong female character! What are you, a bunch of pansies?
Buddy, you think you look strong? You’re wearing a cape.
I saw Fight Club. Liked Fight Club. Liked it a lot. But I have no idea what was so great about Tyler Durden. I really don't get it. Just sayin'.
how does jack only have my vote?
Derek only got mine
I know, I'm sorry. It makes me sad. I love Jack, but most of my favorites were in this round and I could only pick one.Originally Posted by sarajean

And sadly, I think most of them aren't even going to make it past this round.
Only the gentle are ever really strong.
We have a two way tie for the second berth, and 45 mins. left until this closes!
/heartbeat sound
Tyler Durden advances, and there'll be a tie breaker between Sarah Connor and Freddy Krueger
so, Juror # 8 didn't make it? I am really, really depressed. Losing to Sarah Connor and Freddy Krueger? It's pathetic.

Yar. Bummer. But, will you deign to vote in the tie-breaker?
Sarah Conner's actually a fairly worthwhile character, in my own opinion.
Sarah Connor is more than worthy for the BMCOAT crown.
No, I don't think I will. I can't seriously vote for either Sarah or Freddy. I don't care what they influenced (this is an argument I've heard before - not from you - in favor of those one-cell cutouts) or how many people think they are characters - I know that they didn't do a fuck to touch my soul, and that's the only thing that matters.Yar.

I will. Most definitely.
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.

I feel much the same about Tyler Durden. I just didn't think much of Fight Club, though I know plenty who see it as the pinnacle of filmdom. But I didn't vote for him, so I'm cool.
I'm sorry to hear that you don't care for the Sarah Connor character. I thought her portrayal in The Terminator was very well done, and the character became an icon in the second film. I'll grant that this is just an opinion. All I'm saying is that I'm sad to hear you don't share this opinion.
Off topic Jean, I saw that Dersu Uzala is now available on dvd. Just FYI.
Margaret Emmie Mackey Catoe, you are, have been, and always will be my soulmate, and I love you.
Con todo mi corazon, por todo de mis dias. And I always will, in this life and into the next.

Indeed it is.
I respect that. I just don't agree. I certainly don't think that the any of the "Terminator" films are the greatest, but there's enough story there to touch my soul, a little.
She represents survival against adversity and ignorance.
I'm not sure what that means. I don't think that she's really more worthy than Juror #8, or even Jack Skellington.Sarah Connor is more than worthy for the BMCOAT crown.
I'd rather vote for Nancy Thompson.
An' yet, anyroa', ya do what ya have to.
A little - yes, a little most everyone does touch a bear's soul; but we're still talking about movie characters, and I love movies too much to vote for "a little". Terminator (I'm talking about Part 2 only, because Part 1 didn't impress me at all and Part 3 is, sincerely, beyond any possibility of analysis) is a wholesome entertainment, with enough morals to last a teenager for at least a week, which is - without any sarcasm implied - very, very good; but I would vote for any of its characters no more than I would for a merry-go-round horse, although merry-go-round is a wonderfully wholesome kind of entertainment, too.Indeed it is.

Who doesn't? I mean, a character isn't what he represents. It's who he is. There's not enough being for me in her, or 90% other characters I see nominated and voted for.She represents survival against adversity and ignorance.
Sam: I will watch Dersu Uzala either this weekend, or next week! I am so excited!

Sorry...doesn't convince me. Incidentally, this poll, unlike the others, was actually quite an easy one for me.Do ya?Warning: If you are reading this then this warning is for you.

Well, I guess I've said all that I can, guys....
... Anarchy!!!
...
And now for something completely different.
Sorry to go off-topic, when this vote is finally settled anyway, but I've been thinking about it, and, while I still do agree that nothing else matters about a character if he doesn't touch people in a real way, I don't think that I can really buy this part --
