    Heat has three action scenes.
    I assume the other two you're talking about are the armored truck heist and the shootout with Van Zant's men at the abandoned drive-in? There are a few cool stunts in those scenes, but neither are really lengthy enough IMO (not even when combining them with the bank robbery) for me to consider Heat an Action movie on the whole, not when so much of that 170-minute runtime is taken up by dialogue-driven scenes; a true Action movie for me would have a more even balance of action in it, like Die Hard, that good ol' platonic ideal of the genre, you know?

    Those are some very disappointing results.

    1 for 4. Way to go MC. Boogie Night and Pulp Fiction's overratedness is only peaked by Scarface.

    Voting for the Final Four is now open! Vote now by posting in this thread or sending me a PM.

    Pulp Fiction vs. Boogie Nights
    Goodfellas vs. Fargo


    -- During Elite Eight voting there was plenty of discussion questioning whether or not Match Cut was paving its own way through the tournament. The route to the Final Four has taken many detours, but in the end MC shares three out of four movies with Filmspotting (the only difference is Boogie Nights has replaced The Silence of the Lambs). Of those who may be displeased, megladon8 is the only person who has earned the right to complain, as he was the only one to vote exclusively for the underdogs in the Elite Eight. On the flip-side, Mal was the only one to vote exclusively for the frontrunners, but you may want to direct your hate mail elsewhere since her contrarian bonafides are well-documented in Round One.


    But what does your boss Jarod think of all this?

    Seeing that I've been early-shift manager at Hollywood Video for nearly four months, you should trust me when I say the 1990s are by far the best era in all of movie history. I don't follow the crowd haha, like for instance everyone says Shawshank is the greatest movie of all time, but for me it's like mayyybe top-five. And I love crazy languages and shit so obviously Life is Beautiful is a must-see, but you gotta make sure you're in the right mood because the dad tries to convince his son the Holocaust is a big joke and, you know, can you imagine what that was like? Man...

    Anyway, I know Match Cut wants to know what genre their Final Four belongs in. Lucky for you, I'm gonna make it easy and save you all the hassle of deciding whether Pulp Fiction goes in "comedy" or "action," even though the gimp is HILARIOUS. It just so happens that all these movies -- Boogie Nights, Fargo, Goodfellas, and Pulp Fiction -- make up four of my five choices in the "Jarod's Picks" section near the front of the store. Any guesses what the fifth one is? Haha, just kidding, like I said I'm pretty weird and chances are you haven't heard of it. Jarod out!


    -- Which movie will make it to the MC Madness 2.0 Championship: the crime drama with comedic elements? The dramatic comedy with crime elements? Could it be the crime comedy with dramatic elements? Or will Jarod's favorite movie -- which he describes as a "mixture of crime, drama, and comedy" -- reign supreme?


    Find out when voting closes in three days!

    Goodfellas vs. Fargo

    ...I guess

    Based purely on which movie I'd rather rewatch right now, I vote Boogie Nights and Goodfellas.
    Just because...
    The Fabelmans (Steven Spielberg, 2022) mild
    Petite maman (CĂ©line Sciamma, 2021) mild
    The Banshees of Inisherin (Martin McDonagh, 2022) mild

    The last book I read was...
    The Complete Short Stories by Mark Twain


    The (New) World

    Same.

    And I echo your sentiment of "I guess..."

    I work in grocery. I have not gotten sick. My fellow employees have not gotten sick. If the virus were even remotely as contagious as its being presented as, why haven’t entire store staffs who come into contact with hundreds of people per day, thousands per week, all falling ill in mass nationwide?

    Wondering if Ed Wood might've been more competitive? It's underdog status may well have propelled it to the top. Kind of a boring top four, but as IS correctly points out: I'm sure this all makes Jarod very happy.

    I imagine the best of the 2000's winner will be something like Gladiator.
