Serenity is winning against Terminator as we speak but the next round will be much tougher.

I made a similar thread on Summer Glau Wiki (at http://summerglauwiki.com/) early this morning.

Members there are already complaining about ballot stuffing from Browncoats.

There's no place I can be since I found Serenity.


I've voted for Serenity each time so far because I thought it was a better film than the one it was pitted against. But the complaints should probably be for the Star Wars nerds who would vote against 2001, which in my opinion is still the best SF film ever made. If Serenity is up against either Star Wars film next time I will still vote for it, but if it is in the same bracket as Blade Runner, then I won't.

It's all opinion.

I voted Empire Strikes Back over 2001 myself, as Empire is my personal favorite film, ever. I appreciate 2001, but I don't particularly enjoy it.

And with the way the bracket is, the next round will be Serenity v Blade Runner and Star Wars v Empire.

Leaving, I would imagine, Empire v Blade Runner for the final round. But I could be wrong.

Darn, I liked Terminator but I think I'm going to have to vote against it on both counts.

I never really got 2001, bored the hell out of me and I turned it off without even getting to the end.
