Mockingbird crashes and burns...

It's over for me. My pick is no longer in the running on Boiled Dinner's Movie Madness contest. It's down to On the Waterfront vs. Casablanca.

How do I feel? I feel down-trodden. I feel broken. I just can't believe it. Citizen Kane is out and now Mockingbird? What has the world come to?

Kos wanted to know which one each of the contestants wanted to win. I'll put it this way. I feel like my hockey team, the Colorado Avalanche, have made it to the Conference Championship only to lose in game seven. To watch the final two teams in the Stanley Cup is bitter. Oh, I'll watch, but I won't like it.

The bird is down and now we get to see if a washed up boxer who whines a lot can beat up the washed up bar owner with girl and Nazi problems. It would have been a lot more interesting if a Mockingbird who stands up for doing the right thing in the face of much adversity and racism could have beat down Mr. Union on the Waterfront. I think we know who would have won and I also think that someone (Boiled Dinner), knows that there was no contest and he was scared.

What a sad sad world...

(actually, I just wanted a free DVD)

Bah, you got enough DVDs already.

So, does this mean you're rooting for me?

I mean, just curious :-)

Looney, I really don't know. I think I am confused myself. Although, now that we know the winners, I feel very sad that you lost.

Looney said...

Don't feel too sad.

Jeff's not perfect! BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAH!

I crack myself up :-)

If there's anything I'm sad about, it's seeing Casablanca at the top of yet *another* list. That also went into my choosing OTW :-)
