MTM: The Finals!—7:34 AM
It's down to two! Our scientifically rigorous method has determined that The Incredibles and Collateral were the two best movies of 2004, and now it's time to decide between them.
I was reading Manohla Dargis's review of Sideways yesterday, and I think I was a bit hasty tipping the tie in favor of The Bourne Supremacy. Sorry about that; you know me – gotta be a rebel! Would it have beaten Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind and The Incredibles? Hard to say. But surprises make it interesting.
By the way, other than the tie-breaker, I promise I've only voted once in each matchup. I know that's more than I can say for some of you! That's okay; have your fun. I just want you to know that if The Incredibles miraculously beats Collateral, it won't be me stuffing the ballot box.
Have fun voting! All the pleasures of democracy without the inky fingertips!

I'll pick from a pair of mediocre choices in a political election, but I refuse to do so in a movie tournament. I should have known this thing would turn out badly when Before Sunset wasn't even included in the first round.
