Pop Critics: Ultimate Bad Ass: The Championship Round

  • Robert · 1 year ago
    I have to go with Bourne. They both have that die hard, never quit spirit, but McClain is more of a regular guy, where Bourne is a trained and honed killer.
  • Mike · 1 year ago
    Same reasons as I have...Bourne is really the baddest guy to come around in a long time.
  • Kory · 1 year ago
    Benn pulling for Bourne from the beginning, no need to change now. Bourne all the way!
  • Mike · 1 year ago
    Yeah, I pretty much thought he'd win this thing before it started.
  • The Trousered Ape · 1 year ago
    @ Mike - I voted for the Bride as well Mike, you are not alone!

    I've been voting for Bourne since the beginning - I'm a loyalist!

    I def understand why Bourne's a popular choice, but I've got to give the slight edge to McClane. The flawed regular guy. The reluctant hero, he take beating after beating and isn't afraid to shoot himself if it means taking out the baddies.

    Yippie Kay Yeah MF!

    Jason Bourne is better looking. That's what we're judging, right?
  • Scotty Dub · 1 year ago
    Damn it, I've got the wrong contest. ;-)

    Now, I've got to change my vote. Is David A in this? He's so cute, I want to squeeze his head.

    You fight for the right to vote and then you make comments like that... :)

    @ Ape - Hmmm, nevermind, I can probably "fix" it myself...
  • Cap'n Schwartz · 1 year ago
    Wow... Bourne getting tromped... this is like the commando losing to Kirk...
  • DadofIanI · 1 year ago
    @Cap'n Schwartz so it's unpossible.

  • Cap'n Schwartz · 1 year ago
    @DadoFIanIs.. I was poking around your blog site and checking stuff out when all of a sudden out of the corner of my eye, I see you mention a movie as your favorite I never heard of, so I had to google Bottle Rocket. I like when people mention movies as their favorite I never heard of, I'll have to cehck it out.... :)
  • Scotty Dub · 1 year ago
    @Cap'n -I'm trying man, works been busy. Stupid job, don't they know I have important blogging to do. Not sure I'd catch you either way, just hoping to hang near the top.

    More votes coming McClane's way <3
  • Kory · 1 year ago
    Wow, McClane is taking it to Bourne right now.
  • Scotty Dub · 1 year ago
    hmmmm...I guess McClane does Die Hard. ;-)

    Scotty Dubs last blog post..Top 10 New Grad Realities
  • Mike · 1 year ago
    MadFan is calling friends! Someone needs to find out if Bourne has some friends and get them on the phone.
  • The Trousered Ape · 1 year ago
    All of Bournes' friends either tried to kill him or they are dead...that's the true mark of an Ultimate Bad Ass.

    Hopefully, reinforcements are on the way...
  • Mike · 1 year ago
    I think one of my reinforcements voted for McClane :(
  • Scotty Dub · 1 year ago
    Love it! McClane way out front...at least for now. :-)

    @Mike

    LOL, you need to make new friends xD
  • Kory · 1 year ago
    Holy Crap, I think I hear the fat lady singing...
  • MadFan · 1 year ago
    She sang, slept, ate and showered.. McClane hands down.

    But what surprised me the most is.. How come there was no character for Mel Gibson? He's a real good candidate in most of his roles :( Think about it..

    Mel Gibson Vs. Bruce Wills characters... wooo now that's a fight

    Or was there one and I missed it at the early stages? I only caught up with this competition when someone mentioned it on a Lost recap blog. (About Ben being a good candidate for The Ultimate Badass).
  • Mike · 1 year ago
    Hey MadFan, the voting is open until Friday, so Bourne still has a fighting chance :)

    Also, we had Martin Riggs in the contest, which was Mel Gibson's character from Lethal Weapon.

    At least, I think so.
  • MadFan · 1 year ago
    Yeah he was Martin Riggs in LW1-4 :( sob I feel bad for not helping him with a single vote. He was also a real badass in other movies

    Anyone watched him as:

    Porter - Payback
    William Wallace - Braveheart
    Benjamin Martin - The Patriot!!!!!!!!!
  • Mike · 1 year ago
    Of course...he was the best in Braveheart, although I liked him in Ransom too.
  • Mike · 1 year ago
    We may have had Mad Max in this too, I forget now :)
  • Scotty Dub · 1 year ago
    @Madfan -totally forgot about Porter in Payback, he was def a Badass. William Wallace wasn't bad either.

    Scotty Dubs last blog post..Top 10 New Grad Realities
  • Mike · 1 year ago
    Wow, up to 81 votes...still a sizable lead for McClane...
  • MadFan · 1 year ago
    Now that's a Championship Round o___o;;
  • Jason · 1 year ago
    No way does Jack Bauer lose to Jason Bourne only to see Jason Bourne lose to John McClane. No way. Bourne will pull this out by Friday.
  • The Trousered Ape · 1 year ago
    Crazy amount of votes - this has turned out to be a good match-up

  • Mike · 1 year ago
    Only down by 9 now, come on Bourne!
  • Kory · 1 year ago
    Bourne is starting to make a run. Maybe we should't count him out quite yet.
  • Mike · 1 year ago
    The second you count out Bourne is the second he appears behind you and blows your head off.
  • Kory · 1 year ago
    @ Mike - Let's hope you're right.
  • The Trousered Ape · 1 year ago
    Bourne is gonna make a come back - I'm doing some recruiting of my own...

  • Mike · 1 year ago
    OMG, the lead is down to 6!
  • MadFan · 1 year ago
    Almost 100 votes O_O
  • Mike · 1 year ago
    Man, McClane has a huge following...
  • Mike · 1 year ago
    By the way, I Dugg this thing, so vote it up, maybe we'll get a lot more votes :)
  • The Trousered Ape · 1 year ago
    @ Mike - sweet!!!

  • Mike · 1 year ago
    Ugh, McClane killing now...
  • Mike · 1 year ago
    I should really fix this thing, while it's all for fun, someone is getting around my semi-lax vote checker, and put in 5 votes for Bourne, and like 24 for McClane.

    I'll have to make it stricter I guess.
  • Scotty Dub · 1 year ago
    Or it could be McClane is just kicking ass like the Badass he is.

    Scotty Dubs last blog post..Add more hours to your day
  • Mike · 1 year ago
    He's had some help :)
  • MadFan · 1 year ago
    I hope you are not checking votes by IP lol. I had my girlfriend start a debate at her office on who is the bigger badass between Jason and John. There are at least 18 computers in her office and they are all voting xD
  • BIM · 1 year ago
    My friend works at the Nakatomi Plaza where they have a lot of computers and support McClane for obvious reasons. :)
  • The Trousered Ape · 1 year ago
    Might need to start blocking IPs - lol

    The Trousered Apes last blog post..Who was Jesus of Nazareth? Parts 5 thru 10 of 10 with Dr. Craig
  • Mike · 1 year ago
    I don't block IP's at all, because of that very reason MadFan, but some people are either trying to get around it...I think.
  • BIM · 1 year ago
    It's probably as simple as an entire office or another place with multiple IP's voting.
  • Jason · 1 year ago
    Yeah, I'm not sure the hits are supporting the number of votes...it's starting to seem a bit odd...
  • Kory · 1 year ago
    this sucks. Bourne is being taking behind the woodshed and getting an old fashioned beat down.
  • Mike · 1 year ago
    Hey, if it takes cheating for McClane to win, I guess that's probably what he'd do anyways...take any advantage to kill his opponent :)
  • Kory · 1 year ago
    What's that sound??? Oh, that is McClane pounding the final nail into Bourne's coffin.
  • Mike · 1 year ago
    Bourne is getting beaten so badly, he probably forgot who he is for a second time
  • The Trousered Ape · 1 year ago
    @ Mike - lol - that was brilliant.

    This is an ugly contest...or no contest.
  • Mike · 1 year ago
    Never could have predicted he'd lose this badly
  • DadofIanI · 1 year ago
    Michael: You know what, here's the thing about Die Hard 4. Die Hard one, the original, John McClane was just this normal guy. You know, he's just a normal New York City cop, who gets his feet cut, and gets beat up. But he's an everyday guy. In Die Hard 4, he is jumping a motorcycle into a helicopter. In air. You know? He's invincible. It just sort of lost what Die Hard was. It's not Terminator.

    Not fair, Matthew Bourne wins!
