Upsets are cool. Matchups that get turned around in less than a week are even cooler.
Based on the 19 people who voted for it in the balloting, Office Space was the #10 seed in the second batch of films (i.e., not including the original sixty-four). Only 6 people voted for the lesser seen Little Women, but it only made it into the bracket as someone's very unlikely 'number one film to save.' As a result, Little Women ended up as the #128 seed.
Five people had seen and voted on both films:
Ballot #1
Little Women — Really, really want to include (+3)
Office Space — Really, really want to include (+3)
Ballot #2
Little Women — Really, really want to exclude (-3)
Office Space — Really, really want to include (+3)
Ballot #3
Little Women — Really, really want to exclude (-3)
Office Space — Will fight to include (+5)
Ballot #4
Little Women — Will fight to include (+5)
Office Space — Lean towards including (+1)
Ballot #5
Little Women — Really, really want to include (+3)
Office Space — Really, really want to include (+3)
Total
Little Women — +5
Office Space — +15
Not as drastic a difference as I would have expected, given the reaction so far.
