Now there's a pretty big upset.

Yeah, I'm pretty upset.

Um, sorry. Looks like it was bad luck for all of you who love Office Space that this pair was assigned to me of all people: give me a great-looking literary adaptation, and there is not much that will be able to compete against it.

The Mike Judge classic goes down to a poodle puppy and lots of kittens... AHHHH!

Can't say that I agree but it is your match up.

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.

Makes me wonder which one of those was mine, since I didn't save my ballot and I can't remember.

I had the same thought. If one of those is even mine.

Little Women is one of those films that I'm pretty sure I've watched but I'm unable to remember a single thing about it. Winona Ryder is in it, right?
