  • Up with generosity!
    • yet more inanities!


As always, don't forget to vote in the previous matchups, if you haven't already. Links are below.

Despite a ton of new votes in the Back to the Future vs. Die Hard matchup, the big news this week is Love Actually pulling ahead of Four Weddings and a Funeral.  Unacceptable!

not even close - Y Tu
But I wish the public could, in the midst of its pleasures, see how blatantly it is being spoon-fed, and ask for slightly better dreams.

Umm, Love Actually is a better movie so it is totally acceptable! Nemesis!


Anyway. I think in my mind I know that Y Tu is a better film, but in my heart I have to vote Stand By Me.
