Double Feature Duel (Rd4):
Rise of the Planet of the Apes vs. The Bucket List
Rise of the Planet of the Apes vs. The Bucket List
Bucket List may have had the easiest road to the Elite 8 in the tournament. It gets a lot harder now.
Title: I really wanted to see Bucket List before I died [joke recycled from last MvM]. (Point, Bucket 0-1)
Funnier: Jack Nicholson goes potty humor. Nice. (Point, Bucket 0-2)
Better Turn: Best turn of the tournament. And I don’t say that lightly. (Point, Rise 1-2)
Better Ending: There was a lot going on at the end of Rise. And all of it was good to awesome. (Point, Rise 2-2)
Better Message: Both of these had decent messages to convey, but I think Bucket’s was more poignant, where Rise’s was more gratuitous. (Point, Bucket 2-3)
Better Acting: It takes a lot to knock down Morgan and Jack. But Golem dressed up like a monkey is just the guy to do it. (Point, Rise 3-3)
More Creative: Saving ink. Even in the Elite 8. (Point, Rise 4-3)
Poster: Haunting. (Point, Rise 5-3)
Watch again: Once again, it’s one of two DVDs I have from Netflix right now. And I just told Tony tonight that he has to watch it. (Point, Rise 6-3)
Overall: Well, it was a fun run, guys. But just like in the movie, Apes triumph over humans. Winner: Rise of the Planet of the Apes (6-3)
