FCW Insider: March (government movie) Madness begins
So after pulling together the , we've got the pairings for the March Government Movie Madness. (I that we're using the brilliant "bracket" method combined with your votes to determine the best movies. A special hat tip to the book )FCW's crack art team is working on putting a page that does them as brackets, but...here is the list of pairings for now. Here is how this is going to work. Starting Tuesday, March 18, we will have a competition between movies. We will have two competitions -- four movies -- running at once on . We'll leave it up there until about 4p.m. the following day, at which time, we'll post the next one. We'll leave that up there for about two days...and so on...Eventually we'll get down to the final 16...then the final eight...then the final four...and finally, the final two. (We'll leave the voting up longer as we get later in the competition. The final four and beyond, we'll leave up for a few days.) And I can hear you asking already -- what's the criteria? First off, this isn't really THAT serious, so... whatever you want it to be. But, we're looking for the best government-themed movie. So...take that as the criteria. To vote, go to . And we'll keep it all updated here.So the pairings for the first round: (1998) (1983) (2007)The Bourne moviesThe Jack Ryan movies (1995) (1941) (1979) (1993) So...let begin.
