Listmas 2021: Movies

So Listmas always kind of ends with movies, since movies are so important to me. But very little will seem to have changed for longtime readers, so I wanted to spice things up. Read on to see how I did that.

Geekdom Madness 2017 Victor

We are ready to announce the Victor for Geekdom Madness 2017! As per tradition, I'm going to add a page break because SUSPENSE!

Geekdom Madness 2017: The Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Destiny

And only one will survive. I wonder who it will be?

GM17: The Semi-Final Victors

What a heated match!

The Victors for the Semi-Final are...

Luna Lovegood

"Don't worry. You're just as sane as I am.

With 7 out of 11 votes (63%) she muddled Mabel. She has what it takes.

and...

Chronormu

"Hmm...haven't we done this before?"

With 6 out of 11 votes (54%) she twisted Toriel. She has what it takes.


Here's the breakdown. Tomorrow, the Geekdom Madness 2017 Final!

I don't know if I can take the pressure, man!

Geekdom Madness 2017: The Semi-Final

Hello all, and welcome to Geekdom Madness 2017's Semi-Final. Our Elite Four will be whittled down to the final two. So let's not waste any time!

GM17 - QF: Strange Intelligence/Manic Pixies Victors

Landslides!

The Victors for the second round of the Quarter-Final and the last two Elite Four are...

Luna Lovegood

"Don't worry. You're just as sane as I am.

and...

Chronormu

"Hmm...haven't we done this before?"

Match 1 was a flawless victory, with Luna getting 100% of the 8 votes total. Chromie was almost as successful, garnering 7 of the 8 total votes (87%).

So now, ladies and gentlemen, I give you the Elite Four of Geekdom Madness 2017

MABEL PINES

TORIEL

LUNA LOVEGOOD

CHRONORMU

Tomorrow, this Final Four will be whittled down to the Final Two, and after that, There Can Be Only One!

Here's the breakdown. Check back tomorrow!

Once again this Elite Four is aaaaaallll woman.

Geekdom Madness 2017 - Quarter-Final: Strange Intelligence/Manic Pixies

After last week's upset, I'm hoping this week sees similar or greater turnout. In the meantime: Reptiles vs. Beauties

GM17 - QF: Precocious/Kingdom of Monsters Victors

Wow, where did these extra votes come from?

The Victors for the first round of the Quarter-Final and the first of our Elite Four are...

Mabel Pines

"I know that hurts because I've accidentally done it to myself! Multiple times!"

and...

Toriel

"Prove to me you are strong enough to survive!"

We've had the largest last-minute influx of votes this year so far. Match 2 was unaffected since Toriel commanded an early lead and stayed there, but Match 1 did a complete 180 allowing the straggling Mabel to come out on top. In the end, both Victors won with 7 votes out of a whopping 12 votes (58%).

Here's the breakdown. Check back tomorrow!

I knew I should have posted my Star Wars anniversary posts sooner

Geekdom Madness 2017 - Quarter-Final: Precocious/Kingdom of Monsters

Now things are getting serious! The next two weeks will see who ends up this year's Elite Four, and then another two weeks after that will see a Champion.

GM17 - TRG: Editors/Perfect Intellect Victors

We lost some voters....

The Victors for the fourth and final round of The Real Game are....

Luna Lovegood

"Don't worry. You're just as sane as I am."

and...

Leeloominai Lekatariba Laminai-Chai, Ekbat De Sebat

"Ecto gammat!"

Both matches only had 5 votes total. Luna had a flawless victory with all 5 votes going to her (100%), where as Leeloo won with a single vote, with 3 out of 5 (60%).

Here's the breakdown. Check back tomorrow for the Quarter-Finals!

20th Anniversary will do that to you.

Geekdom Madness 2017 - The Real Game: Editors/Perfect Intellect

Happy Mother's Day! This week: keen minds compete!

GM17 - TRG: Rough Textures/Bronzed Victors

What an explosive turnout!

The victors for the third round of The Real Game are...

The Lizard

"You need to hurry...I'm...lossssing control....."

and...

Chronormu

"Hmm....haven't we done this before?"

Chromie got a commanding lead early on and maintained it throughout despite a last-minute influx. This last minute influx however swung the lead away from Candlejack and to The Lizard, squeaking him by as the polls were closing. In the end, both Victors won with 5 votes out of a total of 9 (55%). 9 is the current record total for this year, though we've had much higher numbers in the past.

Here's the breakdown. Check back tomorrow!

Technically they're both scaly, contrary to previous descriptions.

Geekdom Madness 2017 - The Real Game: Rough Textures/Bronzed

This week: Burlap vs Leather, and Fur vs Scales

GM17 - TRG: Courage of the Heart/Bestial Victors

Slightly higher turnout this week!


The Victors for the second round of The Real Game are...

Anakin Skywalker

"You underestimate my power!"

and...

Godzilla

"SKREE-onnk!"

Anakin won his match handily with 6 votes out of 9 (66%). Godzilla won his match by only one late-week vote, ending with 5 votes out of 9 (55%). As I recall, the last match where we had 9 total votes was the last time Godzilla competed, so I'd be surprised if we didn't see more from him going forward.

Here's the breakdown. Check back tomorrow!

Also, Anakin wins on the Revenge of the Sixth

Geekdom Madness 2017 - The Real Game: Courage of the Heart/Bestial

Very close match.

The Victors for the first round of the Real Game are...

Mabel Pines

"I know that hurts because I've accidentally done it to myself! Multiple times!"

and...

Toriel

"Prove to me you are strong enough to survive!"

Both of our Victors this week won by one vote, getting 4 votes out of 7 total (57%). Not much more to say about this, but I'm intrigued to see where this goes.

Here's the breakdown. Check back tomorrow!

This was the most stressful match in a while for me.

Geekdom Madness 2017 - The Real Game: Sparkles/Big Mamas

"Elementary."

While our Victors maintained a lead, their opponents nearly caught up with them. In the end, however, a vote influx secured victory with 5 out of 8 votes for Kane (62%) and 6 out of 8 votes for Sherlock (75%).

Here's the breakdown. Tomorrow, the Real Game begins!
