Hello Dear Readers!
Recently the staff here at the correctness saw an act of supreme nerdiness on display, and instead of just sharing it with you, we took it upon ourselves to go one step geekier, we squared off, and took it to irrational ends!
First, we must give props to this nerdgasmic idea: Musician Michael John Blake recently posted a video in celebration of pi day (3/14, every year...). He has taken the number pi, and assigned numerical values to the white keys, starting with Middle C. He also used a tempo which is roughly half of pi, and did some chording...

Back with Admin_Rock’s weekly look at what’s hot, and what’s cool, (at least in his world.) Hey folks, normally this happens on Monday, but I was busy earlier this week, better late than never. FILM The Bond marathon stalled out at Octopussy. God Damn that was a terrible movie. I’ll rally and move through the [...]
Admin_rock looks cautiously around the room. Seems okay.

Indy reads the brackets and moans “Snake…why’d it have to be Snake.” “I Hate Snake Jock! I Hate him!”

@Tbinns, This entire smackdown was just a premise to use that joke, wasn’t it.
spcMike(Quote) (Reply)
@spcMike, I think it was.
Tomass(Quote) (Reply)
@spcMike, a happy accident, I assure you
Tbinns(Quote) (Reply)
Question: Are we talking Ash with boomstick and chainsaw hand? That could seriously affect the outcome here.
spcMike(Quote) (Reply)
@spcMike,
Boomstick would be placed on the 10 foot high 4×4 as per the rules. Chainsaw could be there too, but not attached to hand. That seems like a big advantage.
admin_rock(Quote) (Reply)
Yes but he also had 1 freaking hand (presuming we’re using the Ash from the end of Army of darkness.)
We do know that Ash has death match experience. Along with Kirk, Ripley & Mad max. These 4 all have an advantage in this Smack Down.
Also there’s a good rules question Which time period of each character is being used? As it could be debated that each character has misc. high points.
If it’s only film, then say for Kirk do you use a young Chris Pine Kirk, less experience but in better shape. Or do you use Say wrath of Khan Kirk where he’s not super old but he has way more experience.
Same goes for all the Action stars. Which do you pick?
Tomass(Quote) (Reply)
Can you imagine if both James Bond and Jason Bourne made it out of the first round; there’s be so much shaky cam action, we’d never know what was happening.
spcMike(Quote) (Reply)
I seriously think I’m going to have some kind of a geek seizure / stroke from the amount of personal conflict over who should win vs who.
Tomass(Quote) (Reply)
@Tomass, Word. This will be crazy hard to sort out.

Commencing countdown to Indy/Han Solo final.
Matthew M(Quote) (Reply)
@Matthew M, I actually discussed this in the Rules. Indy and Han were separated to different sides of the bracket, but in no way were they given preferential treatment.
Also, Solo is a pussy.
admin_rock(Quote) (Reply)
@admin_rock, STOP SAYING THAT!!!
Tbinns(Quote) (Reply)
@Tbinns, Depends on which Solo you’re talking about. Star Wars… the original (no “New Hope”) no special edition, shoots Greedo in the fucking chest because he’s a green douche Solo.
Or
Dances with Muppets, post special edition I’m in love with a chick who kisses her brother, return of the Jedi wimpy ass Solo.
Tomass(Quote) (Reply)
@Tomass, The Solo that will not think twice about greasing a green motherfucker under the table for even daring to SUGGEST that he hand over the Falcon. The one who ran down an entire squadron of Stormtroopers with nothing but a blaster and balls the size of the Death Star. You know THAT guy.
Tbinns(Quote) (Reply)
@Tbinns, Thus, Commencing countdown to Indy/Han Solo final
Matthew M(Quote) (Reply)
Ash can kick some serious ass if he goes nuts like in ED2!
Solo ain’t so tough without his blaster or his 8″ tall Sasquatch, er, Wookie.
El-Ahrairah(Quote) (Reply)
I was thinking about this last night. Out of all the competitors Kirk has the most experience with this whole death match thing. He’s like the Batman of this smack down really
For example…
Star Trek Epsiode 20, Season 1: The Alternative Factor – on a battle arena planet
Star Trek Epsiode 34, Season 2: Amok Time – fights Spock re: pornfar
Star Trek Epsiode 19, Season 1: Arena – fights a Gorn and wins via Bamboo & gun powder made from his own poop!
Star Trek Epsiode 30, Season 2: Catspaw – fights everyone
Star Trek Epsiode 37, Season 2: The Changeling – Mental fight with Nomad
Star Trek Epsiode 74, Season 3: The Cloud Minders – fights cloud miners
Star Trek Epsiode 3, Season 1: The Corbomite Maneuver – fights via bluffing
Star Trek Epsiode 11, Season 1: Dagger of the Mind – fights a chick with his MIND!
Star Trek Epsiode 46, Season 2: The Gamesters of Triskelion – I BET 10,000 QUATLOOS ON KIRK!
Star Trek Epsiode 67, Season 3: Plato’s Stepchildren – Kirk fights gods
Star Trek Epsiode 22, Season 1: The Return of the Archons – Kirk out logics a Computer
Star Trek Epsiode 77, Season 3: The Savage Curtain – Kirk fights histories greatest warmongers
Star Trek Epsiode 24, Season 1: Space Seed – Kirk fights Khan a super human and WINS! Using an inannimate carbon rod!
Star Trek Epsiode 56, Season 3: Spectre of the Gun – Kirk wins the Gun fight at the OK corral
Star Trek Epsiode 18, Season 1: The Squire of Gothos – Kirk defeats a baby Q (Trelane)
Star Trek Epsiode 25, Season 1: This Side of Paradise – Kirk Fights Spock… again
Star Trek Epsiode 71, Season 3: Whom Gods Destroy – Kirk fights Kirk
Tomass(Quote) (Reply)
@Tomass, Yeah… so that goes beyond some casual thinking. That’s like CubReporterKeith level OCD shit.
admin_rock(Quote) (Reply)
@admin_rock,
I am a Wiki of geek. Though I do not remember episode names or numbers. I have watched each of those episodes a few times (probably more than just a few times).
Regardless my point is valid. Kirk has a long history of Arena style battles / death matches, and further a history of winning them. Or at the very least escaping with his life.
Tomass(Quote) (Reply)
@Tomass, Is the styrofoam boulder that Kirk used to little effect against the lizard guy in the Worst Fight Scene Ever going to be on the 10 foot tall tower? If so, it better be tied down or it will blow off. Also, does Kirk have to wear his girdle? I find that they restrict my movement.
Homer(Quote) (Reply)
@admin_rock, hey now. I don’t even like Star Trek.
Kirk is just lucky that the theatrical release rule kept John Sheridan out of this thing.
Keith(Quote) (Reply)
@Keith, I was speaking more to the thoroughness, not the content.
admin_rock(Quote) (Reply)
@admin_rock, You called it OCD. I know, because i carefully catalog all such insults in an excel document sorted by date, time, spelling errors in the insult ….
Keith(Quote) (Reply)
Wait a minute… You said no powers! What is Rambo going to do when The Bride FLIES ALL OVER THE DAMN ARENA! She can jump super-humanly high and walk on walls n’stuff! Her sword on a pole? She jumped up twice that height in the Battle in the House of Blue Leaves!
The fix is in! I have the proof! SHENANIGANS! SHENANIGANS! I WILL NOT BE SILENCED!

@The M-Daddy, That is so weird, I was just thinking on the drive in this morning if the five finger death thing counts as a super power. Food for thought
Tbinns(Quote) (Reply)
I don’t think the 5-Point Palm Exploding Heart Technique counts, because if she got close enough to start trying it, there aren’t many people in the brackets who couldn’t kill her with one hit, let alone her full 5 strikes. Bourne could kill her with 1 hit 5 times, not IN 5 hits.
However, I maintain my ‘THAT CHICK CAN FLY’ argument is still valid and I am watching Hawk-like to see how you experts handle it.
The M-Daddy(Quote) (Reply)
@The M-Daddy, Interesting. I disliked Kill Bill immensely, so I haven’t paid too much attention to her… We’ll compensate somehow.
admin_rock(Quote) (Reply)
@admin_rock, As the ANTI-Disliker of Kill Bill (just ask RobbieRobTown who had a Pre-Kill Bill 2 release party consisting of watching Kill Bill 1… Hint: It was me!) I intend to be hyper-critical and completely unreasonable in my observations. I owe it to everyone else who loves Tarantino’s films. After all, he’s my generation’s Tarantino!
The M-Daddy(Quote) (Reply)
@The M-Daddy, I do like Tarantino. There were parts of Inglorious Basterds that I thought were even Oscar-worthy. They were all parts where the Basterds were not on screen. Tarantino does wonderful things, but I think he needs a good editor who can tell him to cut out some of the fat in his films.
Kill Bill I found very boring. There were moments I liked, but by the end, I just wanted it over with.
admin_rock(Quote) (Reply)
@admin_rock, I can agree about cutting the fat (see: the original Grindhouse: Death Proof vs. the bloated theatrical length version) but I and mine were riveted to Kill Bill all the way through, meaning in this instance where you’ve chosen Kill Bill’s protagonist for your Smackdown, the Loyal and I’s Hypercritical Nerdishness will be poised to strike like no comic nerd ever has.
It’s why I’m more anticipatory of this Smackdown than your others. I hope you realize the scope of your undertaking.

@The M-Daddy, “What is Rambo going to do when The Bride FLIES ALL OVER THE DAMN ARENA!”
My guess… blow up the whole damn arena.
deepfriedcheese(Quote) (Reply)
@deepfriedcheese, But his weapons are on a post, just like hers. And according to the rules, he’ll only have his signature weapon there, meaning either a machine gun or bowie knife.
I do admit, however, that Rambo, like Batman, is gradually harder to defeat given the more time he has to prepare and The Bride is more spur-of-the-moment.
The M-Daddy(Quote) (Reply)
@The M-Daddy, Yeah, I guess it was really the prep time I was thinking of. It’s been long enough since I watched a Rambo movie (maybe 1990?) that what I remember most are entire sections of jungle being set ablaze.
deepfriedcheese(Quote) (Reply)
For gods sake don’t use the Sean Connery era James Bond. He would just go around slapping the women.
Homer(Quote) (Reply)
@Homer, I think we settled on Daniel Craig. By the way, Bonds, from best to worst…(In my opinion)
1.Connery
2. Craig
3.Brosnan
4.Dalton (Underrated I think, stymied by a shitty sequal and the public demand for Brosnan)
5.Moore
6. Niven
7. The much urinated on insole of a shoe I found in an alley behind a crack house one day
8.Lazenby

@Tbinns, What, no accounting for Peters Sellers as James Bond?
For shame my good man.
spcMike(Quote) (Reply)
Didn’t you guys say that Batman was still acceptable? I can understand why you wouldn’t use him since everyone else would be woefully outmatched.
robostapler(Quote) (Reply)
@robostapler, Ah, but they’re talking Movie-Batman here, so for every cold and calculating move a Bale-Era Batman could pull off, Bat-nipples would still be involved somewhere, a clear sign that Batman ‘Ain’t been quite right lately…’
The M-Daddy(Quote) (Reply)
@robostapler, Yeah, I think we’ve explored the awesomeness of Batman to death for a while. We could have used him, but I think it would go against the spirit of what this particular smackdown is about.
