Any chance we'll get Barry Pepper in this tournament?

Hmmm, I may end up taking the weakest guy currently in and using his spot as a giant play in for the final spot, because most of the guys mentioned in the last few posts aren't in this at all.

So, a quick question... who's weaker - Robert Patrick or Emilio Estevez?

Ewan McGregor and Robert Carlyle. And Robbie Coltrane too, and Bob Hoskins. And Ken Branagh and all.
Loathe him or hate him, you can't argue with what Fergie has achieved in 26 years at Old Trafford - single-handedly turning United from a much-loved, much-admired club into probably the most reviled in world football... At 71 years of age, Fergie has seen it all, and drunk most of it. Now he intends to enjoy retirement in the best way possible - by watching his successor struggle to match his achievements.
David Moyes had been widely talking about as becoming the next United boss by wildly hopeful Premier League chairmen. Yesterday their prayers were on the verge of being answered. Well, all those except for those of Tony Fernandes who is praying someone stupid buys his players.

You want it both ways. You want to have your cake and fucking eat it to. You want to fuck the shit out of that cake, and have that cake get your family's approval. I'm not sure which way to go on this one... it might be a chance for you to learn an early lesson in not giving a fuck what other people think. A lesson every man has to learn sooner or later.

Launch Emilio's ass ASAP.

Well fuck this place. It took 144 characters or less to kill all the buzz we'd built up in this thread. "We take pro wrestling seriously" sounds like code for Davey Richards vs. Davey Richards in a Davey Richards on a pole match. Inside a Steel Davey Richards.

So, I started a blog....https://farwell3d.wordpress.com/

Please include James Woods.

Also help me come up with a name for a blog where I review everything that James Woods has ever been in. Phil shot down all my names but never gave me a better one.

How Much Stuff Could A Woods Fan Discuss (If A Woods Fan Could Discuss Stuff)?

I think I'll be going for some variation of this. Like "How much Woods would a Woods fan watch if a Woods fan could watch Woods".

Thank you all for your help, though. Even the awful ones. Especially the awful ones.

No new matches going up tonight.

We're down to 32 actors... 16 matches... 8 will go up tomorrow night, and 8 on Tuesday to decide the next round.

Ok, the semi-finals are going up now and running until Sunday morning to catch as many weekend votes as possible. The final goes up later that night running until Monday night.

So we seem to have this clear choice for the finals.

Some combination of Depp vs. Ford vs. Clooney would be so...normal and expected.


On the other hand: Bill Murray vs. Kurt Russell....would be just novel enough to be really satisfying.  If you asked me which two on this list of five I wish I knew in real life (apart from the "getting-to-hang-out-at-Clooney's-South-France-Beach-mansion" thing) I would say Murray and Russell.

The board was down when I tried to get on yesterday, so I didn't get to vote. I would have voted for Downey Jr. over Depp. Put him back in.
Loathe him or hate him, you can't argue with what Fergie has achieved in 26 years at Old Trafford - single-handedly turning United from a much-loved, much-admired club into probably the most reviled in world football... At 71 years of age, Fergie has seen it all, and drunk most of it. Now he intends to enjoy retirement in the best way possible - by watching his successor struggle to match his achievements.
David Moyes had been widely talking about as becoming the next United boss by wildly hopeful Premier League chairmen. Yesterday their prayers were on the verge of being answered. Well, all those except for those of Tony Fernandes who is praying someone stupid buys his players.

None of these five are anywhere near as cool as most of the guys that have gone.

Kurt fucking Russell?
