Kris Hodgson

Raiders of the Lost Ark

And personally, I think this is a good idea for a battle. Better than most of the battle threads that spring up. Keep with it, and like you said, if anyone doesn't like this thread, DON'T POST IN IT!

sniktawt

12-08-2003, 01:20 PM

It's a good idea but The choice of battles so far are kind of ****ty.This has so much potential, but a little more research would make it a hell of a lot better.

The Top 32 Films of all time should be in this first battle.
#1 VS. # 32, #2 VS. 31, you get the picture.
Then your next theme after this battle could be #'s 33-64 battling.

That's just my opinion.

But it's not infringing on me which most of the new ones do so I have no gripe with it.Keep it up!!

And Rogue is right, People ***** about the battle threads but they still remain popular!!!!

Raiders , BTW, one of the best films of all time.

sniktawt

12-08-2003, 01:26 PM

Just wanted to add, a tournament with just 48 will leave you with odd men out.
Put it on paper and you'll see what I mean.
Just some advice.
Tournaments work in divedends of 8.
Battles with 8, 16, 32, 64, 128 will work.Most of the current battles use 32 characters or movies, etc.

Back to the battle.

It's interesting to look at the movies at the bottom of the list, which keep changing. And this year was pretty exceptional -- three new movies in the top 20.
