The Day 2, Round of 64 results are in! Someone make sure TC isn't near any sharp objects or high open windows.
While the top 2 seeds in each region survived, that's where the normalcy ended. The lower seed won every matchup from #3-#8 in the Marvin in the Face bracket, and 3 more did likewise in the Mr. Anderson bracket.
The narrowest margin of victory came at the #3 vs. #14 matchup between 2003 and 1983, with the 1980s being down with the ladies, taking a 50.9%-49.1% victory thanks to the likes of Clark W. Griswold, Tony Montana, Luke Skywalker and Chuck Yeager.
In the same region, #13 1976 crushed #4 2004 with 78% of the vote, and #12 1986 overcame an early deficit to take out the powerhouse duo of T2 and Silence of the Lambs, a 65.1%-34.9% victory.
The biggest blowout of the day came from #11 1984, which got a staggering 96.1% of the vote to steamroll #6 1968. Charlton Heston was heard screaming at voters, "DAMN YOU! YOU BLEW IT UP! DAMN YOU TO HELL!"
The 1980s muscle kept cruising with #10 1980 taking out #7 1992 by a 57.1%-42.9% win, propelling all three of the years of the Star Wars OT all double-digit seeds into the second round.
In the Mr. Anderson bracket, voters proved that blowing **** up, like in The Rock and Independence Day, is much more important than psychological mumbo jumbo like Black Swan and Shutter Island, taking a 53.8%-46.2% win.
The 1980s flexed its muscles again with #13 1989 overpowering #4 2001 62.3%-37.7%. A fan favorite, 1982, crushed 2011, with 77.4% of the vote.
In sad news, I made a ha-ha about one film's title in the balloting and nobody said anything. Could my family be right and I'm actually NOT funny?
All the results!
