That might be true too. nossy Send a noteboard - 24/02/2012 12:11:51 AM
..where preferably you know both candidates well and think about the pros and cons of each. We're talking pop culture here, of course it is biased and full of emotions and you dismiss one candidate entirely because you love the other! :P

I understand the emotional tie, but I still don't think that makes it a "fair" vote. :P

Speaking of emotions, even though I could reply that somewhere below: I feel the need to add that ROTK doesn't get my vote for the huge battles only, but for the small gestures, acting and several dialog lines that touch me more than most other films have. I could list a dozen scenes. So this is not me being a special effects fanboy by any means.

I certainly don't think you're fanboying. As I said, I also love that movie. I mostly object to what we're discussing above re: fairness. And it's ok if you disagree. There is nothing we can do about that.
