Jingus Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 Kinda surprised to be the high vote on Beyond the Mat, considering this is a wrestling board and everything. Maybe I love it more just cuz I lived it. NOTE FROM RIPPA - I really still haven't figured out why there is always this big gap between Beyond the Mat and Wrestling with Shadows (#159). Granted I am a person who has Wrestling With Shadows the higher one of the two on his ballot so there is some bias but still. Last time the gap was #202 (WWS) to #163 (BTM). It obviously shows in the vote total too. This time 9 votes to 5 votes. Last time 5 votes to 2 votes. (BTM always being the higher vote getter). It depends on a few things. How big a Bret mark were you? I was always a Shawn fan in terms of stylistic differences, and thought Bret took himself way too seriously. But even aside from that, I think I can explain it. Wrestling with Shadows is just plain not as fun a movie to watch as Beyond the Mat. Hell, Bret comes off as a nicer likable guy in his cameo in Beyond the Mat than in the entirety of his own movie. Wrestling with Shadows is a total downer, an anti-Horatio Alger story where a man, through good luck and hard work, goes from rags to riches... and then through bad luck and stubbornness, goes back to rags. Well not literally, Uncle Eric's money probably soothed the blow a bit, but it's still a story of a guy living his worst nightmares coming true. Beyond the Mat is relatively tame in comparison; Terry Funk's knees, Mick Foley's briefly crying then later totally fine children, and Jake Roberts' emo problems are the very worst things that happen in that one (well, not counting Droz, anyway). It's funnier and livelier, with a much larger cast and much more in-ring action during the movie, and generally portrays wrestling in a less depressing light than Wrestling with Shadows. That's why the one goes over the other. Oh man Aladdin is by far my favorite animated Disney film. Nice to see it in the Top 100. Little Mermaid is probably my overall favorite due to childhood bias, but Aladdin's probably the funniest and most generally entertaining. I remember me and my brother begging our mom to just let us stay in the theater and see the entire movie again, and she actually agreed. (This is unprecedented; it's almost literally impossible to get my parents to sit down and watch an entire movie with me, something which has really bugged me over the years. It's tough for a person who loves and respects all kinds of art, to be stuck with people who absolutely do not, but don't even REALIZE their phillistine nature because they're smart educated people who can't admit they're ever wrong or intellectually lacking in just about any area.)

Tele-Viper Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 Wow, I skip town for a few days and a lot of movies drop, the majority of which I did not vote for. Looks fairly likely that at least one film from my top five isn't gonna make it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIPPA Posted October 21, 2013 Author Share Posted October 21, 2013 My dream of finishing this week is probably going to die on a vine because I totally forgot how much work I have to do for this fucking conference I have on Saturday.

JRGoldman Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 Scream is the only movie I remember being so popular among high schoolers and middle schoolers when it came out that the local movie theatre had to station guards at the door of the showing to prevent kids from sneaking in. No other horror film in my lifetime has captured the attention of my peers quite like that with the exception of maybe Blair Witch, but that could just be because we all went to high school about 20 minutes from the wood where they filmed it. Fowler, I would also say that Halloween has probably done overall more damage to the genre. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RIPPA Posted October 22, 2013 Author Share Posted October 22, 2013 I had a bunch of the original ballots in an old inbox. Phil, I just e-mailed you a spreadsheet with a few guys that were pretty involved in the original that don't appear to have voted this time. Perhaps a combined listing, minus the pageantry? Marc Jesus Damnit Tom Reagan Manos99 keith_h Josh Mann Devin Intervention Rev Ray BankHoldup Unipisser Freeway Mr. Seven Here are the other people who didn't vote this time that did the last time Winnipagan Cody Save Paco Isolde theinsanemrx odessasteps Capt.
