Round 5 - THE FINAL - #5 Powell & #3 Hawks

[CineMaven]

I'm sorry.

I meant the bloody bitter end.

Oh, it appears that the East and West Coasts are conspiring to surround the Middle Coast. Well, reinforcements from England and France are coming (and Chile, too?). In the meantime, we'll see with THE SPY IN BLACK, EDGE OF THE WORLD, CONTRABAND, 49th PARALLEL, ONE OF OUR AIRCRAFT IS MISSING, THE LIFE AND DEATH OF COLONEL BLIMP, A CANTERBURY TALE, I KNOW WHERE I'M GOING, BLACK NARCISSUS, THE RED SHOES, THE SMALL BACK ROOM, THE TALES OF HOFFMAN, PURSUIT OF THE GRAF SPEE and PEEPING TOM. And raise with the greatest love story ever told:

This might be a more appropriate way to settle the matter...

Time for creative thinking, I'm pondering creating a membership, charliechaplinfan jnr,for my 9 year old and force her, on the threat of no Santa Claus to vote Powell

What are we going to do; if the votes are still tied? Co-Winners? I don't think so ... or have our moderators decide the outcome. Something has to give in to order for us to have a winner here! And, I don't have a clue about it.

I like your ingenuity and creativity here ... but, can Jondaris (add her in?) can do this before Friday Night to make it happen?

This is not a gentleman's war.

AWMIGAWD!!! THAT KILLED ME!!

Hey wait a minute...I'm still upset. If you do that, I shall call Child Protective Services. No wait...better yet, I shall have my President, call your Queen and promise her the return of the thirteen ORIGINAL COLONIES her great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great- uncle lost in a pub wager, in exchange for HER membership to the SSO and her vote for Howard Hawks. No Parliamentary rules either!!!

Lonesome Rhodes'll supply Prince Philip with 100 bottles of Vitajax and will make children younger than his grandchildren!! That's a promise not a threat. Prince
Charles will NEVER be King.

Just ran some data through the ol' Univac computer we keep in the basement for such occasions. We know, of course, that Howard Hawks received more points than Michael Powell in the nominating round because he ended up as the higher seed. Michael Powell, however, received more nominations (11-9).* And only one person nominated both Hawks and Powell. So, if we take that one vote from Powell, then he wins 10-9.

Wow! Let's call it a day and send those Hawks voters home.


* The Univac also provided another interesting tidbit. The itinerant interloper who keeps littering this thread and trying to work normally calm, thinking people into a frenzy...well...just ask him where he ranked HH on his nominations list. Hmmmm.

Murphy and Bently want to vote (there was dire talk of no puppy treats) and they both vote Howard Hawks.....
AND....I've got 6 little men in my pocket just hangin' around, ready to dance......

1,2,3 OOMPH!

As a Associate Justice, you must demonstrate objectivity and neutrality, so don't go gettin' dancey, Nancy.
