CinemaBowl III: The Creme de la Crudde—Blue & Purple Round Two

You know the drill by now:

1) For each pairing below, choose the title that you believe is the worse (NOT the better) of the two; the film receiving the most votes will advance to the next round. Use whatever criteria you see fit to make your decision.

2) Please note that there are two separate polls here; please make sure you click on both Submit buttons.

3) DISCLAIMER: The titles in this year's CinemaBowl have been selected by the readers of this journal through an open nomination process. You wouldn't hit a man with glasses, now, would you?.

4) Deadline for votes will be Thursday, June 4 at 10:30 a.m. This poll is now closed. As always, thank you!

EDIT: IMPORTANT: Yes, I screwed up. Please note that in poll Blue B-7/8, Twelve Monkeys is not in the running; please choose between Mechanical Violator Hakaida and Ishtar. Sorry, and thank you.

( Damn the torpedoes, full speed ahead )

I'm not always on top of the birthday situation in this journal, but when we_happy_few, mllelaurel and elionwyr are all experiencing rollover on the same day, I'd better take notice.

Happy birthday, y'all! *tacklehugs* May the coming year bring you the same niftiness that you bring the world day after day!

All of a sudden, turning 40 in a year and a half sounds rather appealing

(An elderly woman well into her 70s comes through the check-out line with a single bottle of wine. [The clerk] starts to scan the bottle through.)

Customer: “Wait! Aren’t you going to check my ID?”

Clerk: “Er, no, ma’am, I don’t think it’s really necessary…”

Customer: “Well, that’s no good! You should check all ID if you’re selling alcohol.”

Clerk: “Well, okay. May I see your ID, please?”

(She hands over an ID card that is obviously fake.)

Clerk: “…ma’am, this card says you’re seventeen.”

Customer: “Oh, dear! You’ve caught me! I’m much too young to be buying this! It’s a good thing you were checking IDs. I’d better just go now! *skips out the door*

Clerk: “…”



...I am so doing this.
