    I thought OHMSS had a shot of winning this bout, but had no idea it would do so in a rout, right? OHMSS wins the overall categories tally 11-6, and mashes FRWL in total points 172-117?

    Well, at any rate, the better film wins!

    ;;)

    Next on the agenda--a couple of golden films.

    PS--Congrats on voting honestly and in the spirit of the contest. It's the easiest thing to vote as a partisan of a particular film just because you want to see it win, rather than voting truly for the best elements.

    We'll do that one after Goldfinger versus Goldeneye, which we now commence with this post.

    GF wins 10-8 although I rate GE much higher. Strange. I didn't think this would ever happen to me. ;)

    18-1 for GoldenEye. I consider that a sweep as I don't really think the BB category really counts in terms of the quality of the film.

    13-4 for Goldfinger. A lot of the matches that went Goldfinger's way (PTS, Villain, Bond Girl, Plot, Dialogue, Suspense) were very close. Tough to beat the standard-setter, though.

    I ended up with a tie. That sounds about right. I prefer GF but they are pretty close in quality in my opinion.

  • Well, well, well. We have our first split decision. GF wins the overall categories count 10-8, but Goldeneye takes the point total 123-110. Kind of like Bush vs. Gore back in 2000. Here's how the categories shook out:
