As per my understanding, in this round at least, pixote watches all the losing films he will eventually resurrect as many films as he thinks deserve another shot based on his own experience and the original losing verdict. So far, pixote has been posting resurrection forecasts for 5 films at a time where he basically writes a short review for the films and whether or not he thinks the film stands a chance at resurrection.

How do these Bracket Resurrections work?  How does one get Legend of Drunken Master considered?

For this round, I'm watching all the losing films and seeing what seems worthy.  It's an ego thing or something.

It'll be my second time watching Legend of Drunken Master.  As before, I definitely won't be watching the dubbed version.

Thanks, Worm and Pixote. 

I checked out the US Bracket FAQ and the answer to the resurrection question was "Arbitrarily!" (Or maybe there wasn't an exclamation point.  Too lazy to check again.)

I'm curious to read your thoughts on Spring and Chaos.

-James Bond: A little. But I won't consider myself to be in trouble until I start weeping blood.

Has anyone watched Flirting Scholar?

It's like when people gave me crap about killing Seven. I got the felling everyone had seen and loved it but only a few had actually seen both films.

No, which is why my conclusion was that I'm indifferent.

Yes, I have, and it's my opinion that LoDM should be resurrected.

Fair enough.

Maybe I should just stay away from beloved films.  :P

But where would be the fun in that?  ;D

Nah, man.  I like the fact that you're honest and aren't afraid to eliminate a film that has a good reputation regardless if you knew of LoDM's or not.
