    SYTYCR Round 2.3: Dr. Richard Thornton VS. R.L. Logan (CITIZEN KANE)

    Another epic round. Keep it up! Another tight race, but it was Your Accomplice in the Wood Chipper who ended up taking the win by just a vote or two and will be moving on to the next round. Congrats! For this next round, R.L. Logan had to drop due to health reasons, so Dr. Richard Thornton will automatically move on to the next round and review Far and Away. But for now, here is his review of Citizen Kane. As usual, an auto-pass...

    SYTYCR Round 2.2: Your Accomplice… VS. Ms. Jolly Holly-day (YOJIMBO)

    Wow! What a turnout! There were 30+ votes before Day 1 had even ended. 66 at the end! That’s the most of any battle so far! And the winner still only won by two votes. I guess everyone really was excited to move on to Round 2, huh? And it was back-and-forth the entire time. I was honestly never sure who was going to grab the win. But in the end, it turned out to be Macaulay Connor. Congrats! For this next battle, we’ll...

    SYTYCR Round 2.1: Rick von Sloneker VS. Macaulay Connor (THE GIRL WHO LEAPT THROUGH TIME)

    Welcome to Round 2! We now begin pitting winners against each other… and things get much more interesting. For this first battle, we’re looking at a time travel anime, The Girl Who Leapt Through Time. This battle sees Rick von Sloneker, who won his first battle with Speed, against Macaulay Connor, who won his first battle with another animated film… Batman: Mask of the Phantasm. Now it’s up to you...

    SYTYCR Round 1: The Fallen Identities

    That was easily two of the best reviews battling it out in that last match. Like the comments said, it was too bad only one could get through… but that one happened to be Kasper Gutman . So congrats! You’ve made it to the next round. And speaking of, Round 1 has officially (and finally) ended! A couple weeks ago, I asked if I should post the identities of the Fallen battlers at the end of the rounds or wait until the very...

    SYTYCR Round 1.16: Mean Reds VS. Kasper Gutman (BRAZIL)

    This is it, guys and gals. It’s the last battle for Round 1! I will be posting up all Round 1 Fallen contestants, along with the winner of this battle, on Friday. As for this one, we had yet another last-minute replacement for somebody who had to drop… hopefully this will be the last drop of the tournament! But what a better way to end a behind-the-scenes-issue-filled round than with a Terry Gilliam flick? This time...

    SYTYCR Round 1.15: Spuds Mckenzie VS. Falkor (OLDBOY)
    Talk about a tight race! This last one was literally a back-and-forth the entire way, right up until the last minutes! But in the end, Henry Swanson came out on top. Congrats! Alright, guys and gals… I don’t have an actual battle for you today. Due to another last-minute drop, I had to send Falkor automatically through to Round 2. But just like the last time this happened, I’m going to post the review anyway. So while...

    SYTYCR Round 1.14: Henry Swanson VS. Sorkin’s Understudy (SINGIN’ IN THE RAIN)

    What an interesting battle! Hayley had a strong lead, but suddenly Karl Freund jumped up out of nowhere and caught up. But in the end, Hayley still kept her lead and won the round. Congrats! Just a couple more battles before the end of the round, guys and gals! And we’ll finally be able to move on–which word on the street has it is a reason voting has sunk lately (taking too long). But for this next battle, we’re looking at...

    SYTYCR Round 1.13: Hayley VS. Karl Freund (THE ROOM)

    I’ve noticed voting seems to be waning a bit lately. Is it burnout or are y’all just busy? Let me know! Anyway, the last battle was a tight race the entire time, never staying much more than a couple votes’ difference. But in the end, Zelda’s Kid Sister nabbed the win and will be moving on to the next round. Congrats! We have to skip yet another battle and go ahead to the one after, this time looking at the one...

    SYTYCR Round 1.12: Zelda’s Kid Sister VS. FrankDux (ERASERHEAD)

    It was a pretty tight race, but Pinocchio_Liez took the win and will move on to the next round. Congrats! We’re almost there, guys and gals… the end of Round 1 is in sight. But there is still about a week of it left, and I’m going to have to skip another battle for now and come back to it. This time we’re looking at the one film I actually apologized to the contestants for when I gave them the title. That’s...

    SYTYCR Round 1.11: Pinocchio_Liez VS. ThatGuy… (ONCE UPON A TIME IN THE WEST)

    I’m pretty sure that was the lowest vote count of the round so far. Is it a weekend thing? But anyway, despite coming into the game late, R.L. Logan took the win by quite a large margin. Congrats! Similarly, this next round also includes a replacement contestant for somebody else that had to drop out. And we’re looking at the next western of the tournament, Once Upon a Time in the West. Read, vote, comment, enjoy! You have until...

    SYTYCR Round 1.10: R.L. Logan VS. Kevin Smith (WILLY WONKA AND THE CHOCOLATE FACTORY)

    Now that’s what I’m talkin’ about! It really came down to the wire on this one, as Eyes Wide Open made a huge come-back and ended up tying the score right up to the end. And in the end, it was Eyes Wide Open who won it out by a single vote. Real underdog story there. Congrats! For the next battle, we’re skipping back a bit and hitting up the one we had to skip a while back. Since the skip, one of the contestants had to...

    SYTYCR Round 1.9: Eyes Wide Open VS. Loki Laufeyson (MAID IN MANHATTAN)

    I’ll be honest yet again… the results of that last battle shocked me. Not at the winner, but that it was such a decisive winner. I figured there would be much more of a battle there. Anyway, congrats goes out to Fox Mulder, who will move on to the next round! And we have officially made it halfway through Round 1! For this next battle, we move from classic to modern-day ‘eh’ with romantic comedy,
