A heads-up to all club members! Next week is the Battle Royale! I'll PM each and every one of you about your picks -- and forward the rules as well.

Also, Jesus Christ does the new font and coloring look atrocious.

 

[FrontNakedChoke]

Cool I've never seen any of these before.

Also nice username @Coolthulu

Tough choice here. Haven't seen any of them.

Cool I've never seen any of these before.

I can inform the both of you that Borgman literally translates into Fortress-Man in Swedish.

So if you want to see a really dope Superhero movie, go with that one.

Or maybe it's a movie about one of those late-game Mega Man villains... you know, from when they really had to stretch to find a word to put in-front of -Man? I think the muntjac will have to help us on that one.

 

[europe1]

I haven't seen any of these either. But one of them just had that one detail that made the decision very easy for me.

 

[the muntjac]

Borgman? Isn’t that a Mega Man villian?

Edit: Ah, I see @europe1 beat me to the Mega Man joke.

 

[JayPettryMMA]

It smells like man in here.

 

[JayPettryMMA]

I thought this was Borg Man.

My favorite movie of the 21st century is in this poll.

 

[chickenluver]

Top Nicolas Cage-y moments. I haven't seen many of his famous / infamous movies, so this is going by what I've seen.

5. When he acts goofy in Raising Arizona

4. When he's freaking out in the ambulance in Bringing out the Dead

3.

2.

Spoiler: No. 1

I'm cheating my own rules with this one because I haven't seen this movie, and I've heard this is only a deleted scene anyway. I couldn't help myself.

"Top 5 Most Nicolas Cage-y Moments"

Hmmmmm...

@Yotsuya there is only one way in or out of this club and its to be jumped in.

 

[europe1]

Bad joke?

 

[MusterX]

Bad joke?

You kinda tainted the process but not in your favor which is funny.

Did ya vote for it or go with something you may have not seen? I haven't voted yet. Still mulling it over.
