You included Iron Giant but not Lion King?
From the OP
Quote:
3. Where's Lion King and Toy Story? I couldn't think of a good category for them so they got left off. You want to do a Disney/Pixar bracket? Get on it, Chachi.
The Iron Giant fits nicely in the Sci-Fi category. What's cooler than a Giant Robot from outer space? Nothing!!

Is it? Calling a Klingon a coward is a pretty dangerous game.

I guess I'm a commie. Maybe if I had never read the book I could just go with the campiness of the whole thing.

I guess I'm a commie even though, among the reasons I voted against that crap, was the line where Michael Ironside says something about the "failure of capitalism" ... that and the fact that the book upon which it is based is absolutely among the best science fiction novels ever written, and this movie is an abomination.

Just curious. How does South Park get a higher seed than As Good As It Gets? Jack Nicholson and Helen Hunt both got Oscars!

My Cousin Vinny vs Mrs Doubtfire was a toughie for me.

Ended up going with Mrs Doubtfire though.

Every time I do a bracket, I sit down and think, "What does Brian Earl Spillner probably like the best?" Then I give that thing the crappiest seed possible.

Honestly curious what the process was for this one in particular.

The Process

Movie 1: Muck laugh lots
Movie 2: Mack laugh not as much

Movie 1: Higher seed
Movie 2: Lower seed

Repeat 16 times.

This is a bubble sort, which could require up to O(n^2) comparisons. Not the most efficient use of your time, gotta say.

Hopefully that's only applicable to the Comedy bracket; otherwise I'm going to judge you for how you seed Schindler's List.

That's not the Big-O that some would be very well aware of.

90s comedies as a whole are a little underwhelming. I think the 2000s has a stronger slate.

90s comedies >>>>>>2000s. I thought the 2000s started the decline of comedy.

Yeah, I'm surprised to hear that take. That slate of 90's comedies is pretty fantastic.
