(Today I’ve done my hardcore guest-posting over at Both Teams Played Hard, owned and operated by one Jared Wade, or @BothTeamPlayed on Twitter. The topic is the logo of the Philadelphia Seventy-Sixers.)
You may remember some time back when I had something called Vegetable Trivia Game – it was an intricate system by which I was ranking every movie I’d ever seen, from best to worst.
Since I last touched VTG in December, this website called FlickChart launched, and they’ve developed some kind of like nerd stuff that lets the internet figure all this out for you.
It serves up two movies, you pick the one you like better, and it like pops it into some kind of online internet computer, and then like the internet puts it on your list, and after that’s finished, you can look at the list.
It’s fun and addictive and easy, although the one drawback is that it takes awhile for what you might call your “true rankings” to emerge. Here are my current rankings, and I’ll lay out a comparison of the two systems below:
Vegetable Trivia Game/FlickChart
1) Back to the Future/Die Hard
2) Die Hard/Jurassic Park
3) Fight Club/True Lies
4) The Dark Knight/Unbreakable
5) The Empire Strikes Back/Goodfellas
6) Rocky/Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade
7) The Matrix/Speed
8) Star Wars/The Big Lebowski
9) Superman: The Movie/Rocky
10) Terminator 2: Judgment Day/There Will Be Blood
They have ways to filter – like you can choose to just pair up your top 20/50/100 for awhile, but until like specifically “Back to the Future vs Die Hard” comes up, my real #1 won’t be there, and Goodfellas at #5 is like really weird – I don’t know if that’s even top 30 for me.
It seems like every other match-up begins with “Starship Troopers vs – ” lately.
Have you used FlickChart. Also, what’s the most scared you’ve ever been in your life, and do you wish I had been there at all -
(Don’t forget the 1st WSM? teaser-trailer is live and happening at the Facebook Page, and also like there in this sidebar, but it’s admittedly low-res.)

It takes a seriously long time to see true rankings. Do I think Training Day is particularly great? No. But is it better than Ghost, or Juno, or Alien V. Predator? Of course. Still, it's certainly not my third favorite movie even after 300 rankings.
anytime i have to be positive about the 3rd austin powers movie, i become angry.
Most scared I've ever been: I was playing basketball at the Boys & Girls Club one Sunday morning in High School and after a game I went out and used the phone in the lobby to call my girlfriend. I was like, “hey, what's up?” She was like, “Uh, I just took a pregnancy test.”
True story.
I can't find your BTPH post – am I missing something.
I'm scared of engaged people and all their planning of weddings and demanding of gifts. If you have money to plan a wedding day party why should poor me buy you things.
I've read through the complete archives of this baked potato shrine, and I hate Yahoo's new layout.
1. Your sister wanted to join Twitter back on March 19. What happened.
2. If she designs a WSM? tee I will wear it – I love my ironical tees with words on them. If it has numbers on the back, though, I am only halfway committed, as I don't like any sports references.
3. For a non-sports blog, you still write a lot about sports. I know, it's your blog, you can do what you want–just saying, I like teams with pretty colors and cute boys. And my blog is mostly about Irish vixens and Colbert, so I guess you win.
4. Thanks for making me never eat honey again – can you research what sugar is made from please.
5. I heart your poetry. I want to print all those out and make a poetry book.
6. QWERTY lol. Typing whilst looking at the keyboard lol.
7. Metal Anguish Fees. –This still holds up.
8. Did you know Mr. Belding is on the Koldkast site.
favorite quotes:
There’s no hidden agenda with this one – its primary function is to kill and process human beings into usable soil.
Soil is for growing vegetables, not for hiding the true intent of your love-letterish emails.
Brian Spaeth is a Blackberry American.
I don’t understand why you just threw a screwdriver at me for ’standing up too loud’.
Click on, friends – it gets pretty tank-toppy.
I just chose Sister Act over Matrix III on Flickchart. :/
That was scarier than cancer -
Where's your list – I'd like to devour it. how many of the top 50 would you wager I've never heard of -
I agree with that 100% – the third Matrix disappointed me more than any movie in history.
This comment has made me more happy than any other in some time – thank you for devouring all of that, and also for reminding me that I'm a Blackberry American, which is going in my Twitter profile.
Now…are you aware there are nearly 2000 posts on my old website to read -
I'm glad I have your support. I completely agree about the disappointingness. lol.
Yes, I was only 16 and I thought my life was over.
I knew I would kick cancer's butt. I think you have to have that kind of mentality. If you fear it, it beats you.
Glad I could help – it made me happy to read through it.
Pretty sure your old website is all about sports, which…go team that lives near me!
Here. I think you'll have heard of most. There seems to be a lack of French and other European movies, many of the ones I'd put way ahead of the old Eastwoods, as much as I love them.
Those old 2astwoods bore me – sacrilege, I know. I will check this when I get off Berry.
Thanks for the blog loaded with so many information. Stopping by your blog helped me to get what I was looking for.
