What whackjob did the seeding? Samatha Baker division, Cheyenne Mountain regionals: (5) Footloose (12) Trading Places (not a trailer, but selection of scenes)

Trading Places proves that there actually was a time when Eddie Murphy and Dan Ackroyd were funny. Footloose brings back memories of a bad teen first date with a chick who thought it would be a good idea to smuggle a fifth of bourbon into the theater. NOT good times.

"I think your brother is having a heart attack..." "FUCK HIM!" Plus you get a peek at JLC's boobies. Definitely Trading Places. "Here you go Valenine, one dollar."

"He was wearing my Hahvahd tie! Can you believe it? My Hahvahd tie! Like, oh sure, he went to Hahvahd!" This should be a bracket buster, the seedings are completely upside down on this one.

So far it looks like I'm the only one within six degrees of Kevin Bacon. Later

I had the most absurd nightmare. I was poor and no one liked me. I lost my job, I lost my house, Penelope hated me and it was all because of this terrible, awful Negro.

FOOTLOOSE was one of the worst movies, not only of the 80's, but of the entire history of cinema. TRADING PLACES was not only a solid piece of entertainment, it made a socio-economic statement, and, most importantly, it showcased Jamie Lee Curtis' prodigious talents. The TiTTS say "yea, verily, yea!"

Footloose will get taught in dance school for generations to come.

Irish, did you have to see all these movies with subtitles?

metirish Oct 23 2008 08:36 AM

You mean the American slang ? , the answer to that would be no I didn't need subtitles , unlike you lot with Dublin movies.

I was just pissing again.

You're really taking the piss this week.

Drinking a lot of water.

I liked both of these films very much. Had to go with Trading Places, but I wouldn't have been unhappy to see Footloose make a better showing. I've actually seen The Bacon Brothers (Kevin and his brother Michael) perform the title song, which was a lot of fun.

Footloose was lame and the soundtrack is a gathering of 80's music at it's worst. On the other hand: "Merry New Year!"

metsguyinmichigan Oct 23 2008 09:25 AM

Footloose is better than it deserves to be. I recently stumbled upon the remastered soundtrack at the library. I like '80s music, and that thing is like the Rosetta Stone of '80s music.

Here's the 12-over-5 upset.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Oct 23 2008 10:51 AM

I was thinking maybe Footloose could some so-bad-its-good votes, which, if that were the sole criteria, could take this all the way to the final 4. But, sorry, Ren. Sorry, death-cheating, slutty preacher's daughter. Sorry, Sean Penn's fat dead little brother. Sorry Sara Jessica Horseface.

Rockin' Doc Oct 23 2008 11:18 AM

Footloose never had a chance in this match up. This is a total route from start to finish.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Oct 24 2008 07:47 AM

24-3 for Trading Places. Big upset... well not really.
