welcome to my martini glass

now this is march madness

Undiscovered until April, but still. Check out the Comedy Movie Bracket at MSNBC (which is super-easy to fill out). Some strange pair ups led me to a decidedly not all that satisfying final four match up of Raising Arizona v. Ghostbusters and Princess Bride v. His Girl Friday. But the toughest round had to be the pairing of Rushmore v. Bowfinger. My head nearly exploded. (Not to mention my soft spot for 9 to 5 caused some very strange things to happen.)

His Girl Friday was my winner. Now you.

    Absolutely.

    Of course, you are including 9 to 5 in the deep movies about life category, right? I just loved that Bambi pastiche when I was a kid.

    Agree that there are lots of quinces-n-kumquats brackets here. No upsets in mine; the Final Four were Rushmore, Lebowski, Dr. Strangelove and Bull Durham (just edging out Princess Bride). Which, I guess, shows that I like my laughs better when they make me feel smart.

    I ended up with Rushmore on top, but at one point I was asked to choose between Best in Show and Spinal Tap, which really just kinda made my head hurt.

    Yeah, yeah on the wacky pairings. But anyway, I wound up with Stripes edging out Big Lebowski in the West to make it into the championship. In the East, Spinal Tap beat Villanova at the buzzer on St. Hubbins desperation three, but in the end, Murray's tournament MVP winning performance gave the trophy to Stripes.

    I wound up--through the tried and true selection criteria of "Which movies HAVE I actually seen? God I'm a loser!"--with Election on top. I hope this doesn't say bad things about me as a person.

    Final 4: Big Lebowski, Blues Brothers (I went to Engineering school), Princess Bride, and The Thin Man.

    Princess Bride slightly hedges out Lewboski in the final.

    My Final Four looked a lot like Mr. McLaren's, but with Rushmore in the place of Blues Brothers. Princess Bride beat Rushmore, although if it had been The Life Aquatic I'd have called a draw.
