So, how does the tournament? I mean how do you prove ones bad-assedness more than another characters? I am not trying to be a partypooper, because I think this is an awesome idea, I was just wondering how you score and advance up in the brackets. And can we get an office pool going?

And re-nominating people doesn't help them...

I put The Punisher back, no sense having someone nominate Jason Bourne twice. And your right about the Punisher, that movie rocked, hopefully they make another. Of all the Marvel Comic's movies, The Hulk was the only one that left something to be desired. And speaking of Marvel movies, I am suprised no one has mentioned Blade.

Ok, sounds cool, I hope we get a good turnout for this. Great idea :thumbup

You have got to be kidding. Pierce is probably the third best Bond.

 

And Leia!? Leia!? "Help me Obi Wan Kenobi, you're my only hope." Wow, how badass.
